To the dismay of those that stood by, about the body of Saruman a grey mist gathered, and rising very slowly to a great height like smoke from a fire, as a pale shrouded figure it loomed over the Hill. For a moment it wavered, looking to the West; but out of the West came a cold wind, and it bent away, and with a sigh dissolved into nothing.

In this scene from "The Return of the King," the body of Saruman becomes enveloped in a grey mist, rising to form a ghostly figure. This transformation is witnessed with concern by those present, as the mist takes on a shrouded appearance reminiscent of smoke. The figure momentarily appears to gaze towards the West, suggesting a connection to a past or unfulfilled desire.

However, a cold wind from the West interrupts this moment, causing the figure to sway and ultimately dissipate into nothingness with a sigh. This act symbolizes the final demise of Saruman's power and presence, underscoring the themes of loss and the inescapable fate that befalls those entwined in darkness.
