*sighs, tags in with more chatlogs* I hope melannen is proud of distracting us for a solid half hour with this!
Frodo hasn't taken the Oath and has no idea about wizardry because Bilbo was very careful to keep it that way. This creates SO MANY PROBLEMS FOR SAM, who of course has.
Legolas has because Thranduil ... has but forgot his Oath, and Legolas wants to make up for it somehow. Gimli has, and did so with his father's full awareness/knowledge base.
Merry and Pippin take their Oaths and go on their Ordeals concurrent with the points you'd expect in the books.
Aragorn has similar issues to Thorin, but ultimately decided it only supported his responsibilities. Arwen has, naturally, and is one of the best damn Valar at weaving (sometimes literally) protection spells out there. (You cannot tell me the big deal they make about the flag is for nothing.)
Boromir has no idea what this wizardry thing is on about. Faramir took the Oath in a fit of well I have to amount to SOMETHING. Denethor is so thoroughly the Lone Power's it's not even funny. He really, really tries not to be, but. No. He might have taken the Oath once, actually, and then fallen. Probably during his Ordeal. Which is what turned him to the Lone Power, self-loathing at having fucked it up.
Rosie goes on Ordeal while Sam's away, during Saruman's harrowing of the Shire. Which is how they actually make a good pair once he gets back. Frodo, I think, never does take the Oath, though he eventually becomes aware of wizardry.
Grima really wanted the Oath to come for him and it never did. Eowyn took her Oath very, very late. Sometime in the Houses of Healing, because of Merry, who had just completed his Ordeal. But she had to get through the bit with the Witch-King before she could hear any sound of the Oath knocking over the Lone Power. Most of the rest of the Rohirrim are kind of "wizardry eh?" though Theoden took his Oath once, nearly forgot it, but remembered right at the end.
And then we ran out and were down to Powers, because apparently all of them reside in Middle-Earth.
