I agree this is a great thread. Query - JRRT states that &quot;magic&quot; is, to an extent, inherent in the nature of elves, but absent from man's nature. How do men perform &quot;magic&quot;? In the case of men from the line of Elros, it could be explained as deriving from their &quot;half-elveness&quot;. But what about someone like Andreth, who lived in the First Age prior to the first union of elves and men?
