The Night King vs The Witch King

Ok. Probably not good examples, but I cant think of any movieverse ones off the top of my head. Maybe swamp thing? I dont know. Sounds good.

Can the witch king hurt night king on a spiritual or magical level?

It's possible. The issue is we're not sure how much leeway we get with their powers against each other. For example, Witch King can't use his fear aura on Night King because he's not a normal person, also I don't believe he had anything to fear as he already commanded death itself. Would he be able to shatter Night King's ice weapons, or would NK's weapons shatter WK's sword? They're both so esoteric and vaguely explained that it's hard to guage.

Well, this isn't a very logical decision but Im gonna go with the books that I read multiple times as a kid and go with Tolkiens creation for no other reason than that.

The Witch King is not immune to attacks from men. The hobbit hurt him just fine with his magic sword. No man can kill him because he's destined to be killed by Éowyn, that's all. The prophecy said "not by the hand of man will he fall", and the prophet was being a dick about it. He basically thought "The Witch King gets killed by a woman, I'll tell him no man can kill him".

Like you said, magic sword.

Those are like Witch Kings dragon glass. He was pretty much immune to anything else, even Galdalfs powers.

Exactly. Now, in the books at least, the Nazgul do have some form of warding spell on them that grants them some degree of invulnerability. This spell was undone by Merry's "sword" which was (once more in the books) actually a magical blade intended for fighting against the undead.

The Witch King throws the Night King down and smites his ruin upon the mountainside.

That sword was specifically designed to nullify his invulnerability. If Merry hadn't struck him with it Éowyn wouldn't have been able to do anything to him.

The Night King wins, he was able to stop a highly skilled assassin (Who ambushed him BTW) like Arya, and was only killed by this last one was tricky enough.

Also, The Night King's Ice spear/Sword would just shatter anything the Witch King has to offer.
