Hello one and all!! can you tell i'm in a good mood! i wasn't sure where to put this so...
when I last read LOTR I don't remember any spells, and elven magic seemed distant and untouchable which made it all the more appealing!! In fact I remember Galadriel saying that she didn't understand when Sam asked for elven 'magic'. Now in the film they have spells. Is this for HP fans and appealing to other people? Although any extra elven phrases are good!
And then... in the Silm. I'm sure it said that elfs had no magic powers but they had been alive long enough to have trained and improved their skills so they looked magic to mortals! I seem to have confused myself and probably everyone else!! Any answers or I'm I missing something! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
