Elven Cloaks: magical or not? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I always thought that the cloaks weren't really magic. Not active magic... just a kind of passive magic, just being special. You know how they say everything we make has a little bit of us in it? Well, think of an elf, beautiful, kind of magic but not, quiet, graceful. So how could the things they make not be like them? So naturally they would be special, but elves are too natural to have magic like in actual cloaking spells (oops, that was a bit redundant). At least that's what I think. And you do see that they are that kind of magic in TTT, from comments and how they hide at the gates of Mordor (I hope I don't ruin this for anyone, but it's been out for awhile...)
