Glorfindel smiled, but kept his laughter inside. "Well, as an elf, I can tell you that I know witches, and good fairies, and wizards. I've seen a bard craft a song so magical out of thin air that would make you weep, shout, despair, and cry with joy, yet he says it is 'just music.' I think there is more magic in this universe that you think. Not all of it requires some sort of casting. Though some do benefit from a more ritualized approach, but then again, so do some other tasks. Like washing clothes. You don't simply throw them in the river and hope for the best, after all."
