Thanks for the distinction between magic and enchantment, Child, though there's another thing that's so beautiful enchantment that I'd like to point out (it's something I got from the dvd). From what I remember, the word itself comes from "chant." "Enchanting" or "enchantment" therefore is a result of a chant: a spoken word whose meaning becomes actual out of its repitition. So having enchanment come innately from elves in the way they use their creativity makes sense. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] Kinda like "The word became flesh."

About technology, I think it's a sad thing that people have become so dependent on their cell phones, and even on their cars. When my pastor's wife found out that I walk to my dentist's instead of taking the jeep (I'm from Manila, and jeepnyes are everywhere), her eyes and mouth were agape. And I was like "It's just a 5-minute walk, and a tricycle away--nothing much" (A tricycle's another part of our commuting culture--riding it gives me no choice, though). And I've got this friend who, a few days ago, attempted to send her twin sis on the ground floor an SMS just to come up to her on the 2nd floor! *gasp*
