What is the extent of the magic use amongst the different races in LOTR and are there any socerrers (good and bad)?
I'll start off listing examples:

MEN: There's the curse of Isildur, blades of Westernesse, shape-shifting (Beorn), communicating with animals (the people of Dale or really the royalty of Dale perhaps with birds).

DWARVES: communicating with animals (ravens, if you read in THe Hobbit), enchanting doors (the blocked door in The Fellowhip...).

ELVES: blades (from Gondolin), healing, control over nature (to some extent, if it's in their realm), and probably a lot more; I just can't remember.

If you know any more examples, or can explain any of these ones listed, or just wanna tell what you know, it would be appreciated.

Thanks
