Episode 196: Lord of the Rings magic and wizards

Notes:

The Verbivore references several quotes from this series. They are:

- “Fool of a Took! Throw yourself in next time and rid us of your stupidity!" - The Fellowship of the Ring film

- “You cannot pass," he said. The orcs stood still, and a dead silence fell. "I am a servant of the Secret Fire, wielder of the flame of Anor. You cannot pass. The dark fire will not avail you, flame of Udûn. Go back to the Shadow! You cannot pass.” - The Fellowship of the Ring by J. R. R. Tolkien

- [Galadriel] said, turning to Sam. 'For this is what your folk would call magic, I believe; though I do not understand clearly what they mean; and they seem also to use the same word of the deceits of the Enemy. But this, if you will, is the magic of Galadriel. Did you not say that you wished to see Elf-magic?' - The Fellowship of the Ring by J. R. R. Tolkien

- “And now at last it comes. You will give me the Ring freely! In place of the Dark Lord you will set up a Queen. And I shall not be dark, but beautiful and terrible as the Morning and the Night! Fair as the Sea and the Sun and the Snow upon the Mountain! Dreadful as the Storm and the Lightning! Stronger than the foundations of the earth. All shall love me and despair!…

I pass the test. I will diminish, and go into the West and remain Galadriel.” - The Fellowship of the Ring by J. R. R. Tolkien
