That's exactly what I mean, Willie. Tolkien's sort of magic seems to have different qualities than ordinary magic that can be read about elsewhere. The fact that Galadriel has a sort of magic is contradictory to the word's definition, as she is not a "spirit". Power is the only other word I can think of to describe it, she is there, she does nothing, and she causes something else to happen.
