Diz-se que Galadriel é o mesmo, mesmo que diferente dos dons de Fëanor pelo próprio Tolkien nos contos inacabados. Todos nós sabemos o que é dito sobre Fëanor, então ela deve ser louca e poderosa, nós raramente a vemos. Há alguns detalhes como derrubar paredes e enviar uma névoa para proteger o hospedeiro de Eorl.
Galadriel era o maior dos Noldor, exceto Fëanor, talvez, embora ela fosse mais sábia que ele, e sua sabedoria aumentou com os longos anos.Her mother-name was Nerwen ("man-maiden"), and she grew to be tall beyond the measure even of the women of the Noldor; she was strong of body, mind, and will, a match for both the loremasters and the athletes of the Eldar in the days of their youth. Even among the Eldar she was accounted beautiful, and her hair was held a marvel unmatched. It was golden like the hair of her father and of her foremother Indis, but richer and more radiant, for its gold was touched by some memory of the starlike silver of her mother; and the Eldar said that the light of the Two Trees, Laurelin and Telperion, had been snared in her tresses. Many thought that this saying first gave to Fëanor the thought of imprisoning and blending the light of the Trees that later took shape in his hands as the Silmarils. For Fëanor beheld the hair of Galadriel with wonder and delight. He begged three times for a tress, but Galadriel would not give him even one hair. These two kinsfolk, the greatest of the Eldar of Valinor, were unfriends for ever.
Galadriel was born in the bliss of Valinor, but it was not long, in the reckoning of the Blessed Realm, before that was dimmed; and thereafter she had no peace within. For in that testing time amid the strife of the Noldor she was drawn this way and that. She was proud, strong, and selfwilled, as were all the descendants of Finwë save Finarfin; and like her brother Finrod, of all her kin the nearest to her heart, she had dreams of far lands and dominions that might be her own to order as she would without tutelage. Yet deeper still there dwelt in her the noble and generous spirit of the Vanyar, and a reverence for the Valar that she could not forget. From her earliest years she had a marvellous gift of insight into the minds of others, but judged them with mercy and understanding, and she withheld her goodwill from none save only Fëanor. UT
Então, parece que ela tem uma habilidade extraordinária de ver as mentes e intenções. Na confraternização do anel, ela afirmou que é capaz de ler a mente de Sauron, pelo menos tudo o que diz respeito aos elfos, mas ele não pode ver os dela, mesmo que ele tente. Além disso, com Nenya, ela também é capaz de manter todo o mal fora de Lorien, a menos que Sauron tenha chegado a ele mesmo.
Ela era estrategista também, queria estabelecer um posto avançado no leste de Lorien, deixando Beleriant na primeira idade para unir elfos de madeira e homens. Tudo isso está escrito nos contos não-inventados.
Então, com Galadriel não é tão óbvio à primeira vista, mas se alguém olhar mais fundo no texto, reconhecerá seus poderes.
Na minha humilde opinião, Galadriel é maior que Fëanor, Tolkien parece estar inseguro em relação a esse assunto, mas eu acho que ela é maior, sendo talvez a inspiração para a Silmaril. O único elfo sendo maior é Luthien.
