Re: more like canon Tolkien talk

[(Anonymous)]

Not like Harry Potter. It's kind of a complicated question. For Elves, there would be everyday magic because Tolkien designated "magic" as an innate understanding of the world that Elves have. To them, it's not magic. Similarly, Dwarves can write magic into objects. Humans are generally not able to spellcast (but there's some waffling depending on when Tolkien was writing as he hadn't totally nailed it down). For humans, only the highest and most learned probably knew magic, and wouldn't waste it on anything that wasn't also high and mighty.

But, I imagine someone could buy a dwarven magical item, although dwarves aren't big on letting that kind of thing go. And you could get Elven magic (like the elf-rope Sam gets) at certain times in history. The Trolls had a purse that kept their money safe and talked, but then that gets into the complication of Hobbit vs LOTR and the different tone of the books. I would say that an ordinary person had no contact with magic.
