@Chilari Makes sense, now I just wish I could remember where I heard the line ripped off, lol.

@Telcontar: This is why people have free will, so they can have different opinions about things. Everyone wants something different in their fantasy. I'm not saying that the utmost inner workings of magic need to be explained. Realistically that's probably more exposition than most authors are going to be able to 'sneak' into the text. I don't mind that Tolkien doesn't explain how magic works. Ultimately, I don't care how it works, so long as it does.
I just finished reading a book by Walter Jon Williams where the characters actually did use magic (a variation on geomancy, to be specific)… but no one would ever mistake it for "fantasy" just because magic was there.
