This may come as a shock to anons who filter their entire existence through video games but literature does not need to operate according to rules of game balance.

Cinema, not literature. In the books the undead army is way less OP than in the movie adaptation. Their only weapon is fear, and they do not liberate minas tirith, but only scare the mercenaries off their black sail ships. Aragon uses the boats to quick travel to minas tirith with his elf and half elven friends and fresh troops from the south.

Yes! The answer is “you can’t, and that’s the point.”

“A story is not a machine that does what you tell it. A story is a beast with a life of its own. You can create it, shape it, but as the story grows, it starts wanting things of its own. Change one thing, and you set off a chain reaction of events that spreads through the whole thing. The characters have to be true to themselves. The events need to follow a logic that fits the story. A single flaw and the magic is gone. The story dies. - Alan Wake” - Sam Lake
Established rules and constraints must be consistent throughout the story, otherwise nerds on the internet with nothing better to do will call you a hack.

Man, even games don’t need to operate according to the rules of game balance. Just look at [current hot live service game’s most recent update]!

Man, [current hot live service game] has really gone down hill since [game’s most recent update] released. It’s like the Devs don’t even care anymore, y’know?

It does make a ton of thematic sense that the counter to a purely magical threat is a technological weapon.

Well, it’s not like the enemy army has one if the two most ancient and most powerful magicians on their side. They’ll figure something out.

They’re a limited-use item - once they do enough to fulfill their oath, they won’t keep fighting. Also, in the books it wasn’t clear that they could actually cause physical harm.

He didn’t have time to cast or summon, it was not in his primary deck for this battle.

I’m my experience, simply refusing to acknowledge the supernatural has made such entities incapable of properly manifesting 100% of the time.
