VT-LT-14, 15: Findegil's last suggestion works for me.
VT-LT-04: I don't think changing "Outer Lands" is necessary in this instance. Here, it refers to the lands outside Valinor, including Middle-earth. The problematic instance was one where it was used to mean the lands beyond Middle-earth, including Valinor.
Magic: I don't think I'm in favour of replacing every instance of good 'magic'. The closest analogue is our elimination of 'gods', but there is a good deal more precedent for Tolkien removing that word.
On the diacritics: A quick investigation seems to show that Tolkien's latest usage was to include the trema in Niënna and Lóriën. By analogy, I think we are safe using Ariën.
