Anyone willing to explain, because I certainly am muddled.

Short answer: yes. Think of the Three Rings, the Mirror of Galadriel, the various enchanted objects that occur throughout the books, the spells both Luthien and Finrod use in "Beren and Luthien"... if that's not magic, what is it?
However, Elves don't (at Galadriel doesn't) appear to like the "Westron"
word "magic", apparently because it has the wrong connotations (i.e. of being unnatural).
EDIT:X'd with Eomer.
