![]() If we look at the instances where Saruman is speaking we can see how he manages to get inside the minds of certain listeners, usually Men, whereas those with 'sanwe awareness' are more able to shake off the suggestions in Saruman's words. Saruman then goes on to have his dispute with Gandalf where their minds are 'striving' against each others for mastery; this is not just a wizardly staring match, they are conversing through sanwe and Gandalf was likely trying to get the better of Saruman's mind - or trying to stop Saruman from finding out too much! We can see Galadriel using sanwe too, when Boromir is unnerved by having certain thoughts intrude into his mind as though she is speaking to him. Is this deceitful of Galadriel to do this? It is just an inherent skill that some are more aware of than others, and which some are more able to use. Just that they may not always be using it for the 'right' reasons. And its worth noting that probably the most skilled user of sanwe seems to have been Sauron. Good point about Galadriel's words on 'magic' though - as this would indeed be one of those things that Sam might think of as 'magic' but which was just an inherent but usually dormant skill.
