Aaah....interesting. If Tolkien had decided that Men could gain Wizard-like powers and be called Wizards, then my theory of there being more Wizards than the Five(the 'How Many Wizards?' thread) sounds a lot more plausible than before.

I also found it strange that Seven Kings(presumably of Men) were mentioned when so far we've only seen 3 kingdoms(Gondor, Rohan and Dale). Then I thought of the Haradrim and Easterlings. Tokien wrote somewhere that they were a diverse and divided people, ruled by various petty kings. The additional Crowns could be obtained from there.
