Gandalf occasionally did use magic to fight - the wolf attack in The Hobbit, rescuing Faramir from the Nazgûl, etc.
But LG has it - not only were the Istari prohibited from using their magic openly, they were expressly forbidden from matching Sauron’s power with their own (which explains why LOTR didn’t culminate in a wizard’s duel.
