If this story is made up, then I am very sad indeed [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] But it does seem to be the logical explanation, due to the fact that that type of power is not "legitimate" in the race of men, (few rare occasions, as pointed out in the last few posts)and is not consistent with the most other stories of the Atani. However, it very well could be something that Tolkien planned on going back and touching up, and never got around to it. Either way, its a great story to debate.
