Elven Cloaks: magical or not? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I agree with Kalimac, and rather like that thing that Galadriel said about magic. It's really very difficult to define, isn't it? I mean, if you brought, say, Sam to 21st century Earth (okay, wishful thinking, I know, just bear with me), he wouldn't understand any of our technology. (Heck, I don't understand most of our technology. It could be magic for all I know.) Therefore, it would be inexplicable and, by most peoples' vague grasp of magic, magical.Personally, I think that the elven cloaks weren't magic, persay, like the Rings or Sting or anything. I think that they were just woven very masterfully by the Elves in such a way as to make their wearers difficult to see. Kind of like camo, I guess, only better.~*~Orual~*~
