Well, Salocin, I think you are quite coherent, except perhaps where you are saying that you aren't [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]. I hope my stones don't hurt too much [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img].

I understand what you say, and I agree with some of it (the evil in occultic magic), but with other parts I will always disagree. I do not believe that there is any form of learned magic in Middle Earth (I realize that I have already said this many many times, so I appologize for my redundance [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] ). The magic that we see invested in objects (palantiri, rings, etc.) is just that: invested. It is nothing more. To prevent further redundence, I'm going to stop there, because you've already read all of my arguments from before. I'm realizing that this wasn't really a post worth posting...
