Say what you will, but a sword that glows in the presence of enemies is undeniably magical.

Personally, I find Tolkien's conservative use of magic to be tasteful. As anyone who's ever played an RPG such as AD&D can attest, there must be limits on the use of magic or else the story just falls apart.
