Ahem, yes Davem, thank you for correcting that slight oversight on my behalf [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] What I meant was that the palantir are used by men, while Galadriels mirror is used by elves (with a few exceptions in both cases).
I don't believe that the mirror show images based on how you feel, because it seems like too powerful a tool to be used purely based on the mood of one person (unless I've misunderstood Willie's use of feelings). I think, especially with Davem's implication of Wyrd, that the mirror sticks to showing stuff that is important, but important to more than just one being (in which case it differs from the palantir which could show anything the user wanted to look at, even trifling matters if the user was in a peeping tom mood). Being GALADRIEL's mirror, and knowing Galadriel's rebellious nature, I think one would have to have great mental strength to make it show only what one wants to see. Note that it also shows things that are unbidden, even to Galadriel, so that may even be impossible
