Oh, now I fully understand what you're saying...it was most likely my fault, but before I thought you were saying that since Aragorn and the Mouth were not pure men they were magically capable, hence they could simply just perform magic.

So, my argument goes along the lines that the mouthie was having the required raw materials to work on in order to master magic, while "pure" humans don't - but that still required learning, apprenticeship if you will.

I agree, I think it goes along the nature vs. nurture debate of sociology. Which is more important in the developement of the child? Nature (their genes, how they are born) or nurture (how they are brought up in society). Now the concensus is that both are equally important. A child is born with certain raw potentials, however they can not fully use and unlock that potential without experiencing the nurture or the environment around them.
So, for instance the Mouth, he has the genetic potential to use sorcery (given that he is not a 'pure man') however it is something that he has to learn and be taught as far as how to use it...
