Uh, I think I will add my two cents to Halbereth. I know what Cimm said to you and I know he had a point. No one is picking on you but you are blowing everything out of proportion. You know, Elrond, Galadriel, Celeborn, Gil-Galad, Feanor, Thranduil, Cirdan, and many others are very, very, very powerful elves in Tolkien's stories but did you ever hear of them chucking fire balls at one another? The only fire balls anyone threw made poor Bilbo dodge for cover! And that was a dragon!!

We are all mature writers here (or at least I think so) And I think that in order to have a good character, you don't need to blow everyone out of the water with wicked-cool magic. Sure, its good to be different, and needless to say, your character is unique but you must respect the wishes of others and remember that they are there to have a good time too.

Now! Onward with the story!! Let's go and get the silmaril, ya'all!!

Sincerely,
Manelwen
