@TarElendil:

I totally agree with you - the Ringwraith
CANNOT be killed by men, hobbits or ELVES
using ordinary weapons. The sword that killed
the Witch-King was from Westernesse, made in
the wars against Angmar - and the magic on
it was not elvish but it was specially against the Witch-King of Angmar. That was
thr reason why it was able to break the spell and made it possible for Eowyn to kill
him. It was made long ago for this occasion,
that has nothing to do with Elvish magic.

The Elves are able to injure and weaken the
Nazgul, but not to kill them. That would be
too easy, and they were not that dangerous if
every Elf who is brave enough can kill them.

And the Elves are overrated a lot, specially
in the Third Age. They lost a lot of their
power and they are leaving Middle Earth!

If it would have been necessary, the Witch-
King would have even entered Lothlorien
searching for the Ring - and I don't think
that Galadriel would have prevent that. But
that is another topic...
