PanMan, while it is always possible for anyone to use certain magical items, it certainly is not possible for anyone to create them. Study as much as they like, hobbits could never learn the spells that Gandalf learned.
Yes, Bill, I agree. While I believe that it was open to individuals without any innate magical ability, such as Men, to learn sorcery, this would only apply to those with an aptitude for doing so. Hobbits seem to have a natural resilience to magic (hence their talent as Ringbearers) which no doubt precludes any likelihood of them becoming sorcerors ...

... presumably that's why in D+D, you could never have a Hobbit Magic-User. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
