Gandalf was a maiar, despite being in mortal form. There may be a difference between proper magic and enchantments that allows the blades of the barrow-downs to be embued with special properties. In tLotR there are quite a few instances of mortal/immortal men who can use, or claim to use sorcery. The Witch-King and the Mouth of Sauron spring immediatly to mind.
