Understanding The Magic of Middle Earth

In this video, I give the broadest explanation of how the magical system within Tolkien's world works. Unlike Harry Potter and other worlds where there are simply words of power, the magic of middle earth relies on deistic commands like gods in religion. The main example used is the fight Between Gandalf and the Balrog, specifically Gandalf saying, "You shall not pass!"

I absolutely love talking about Tolkien, Middle Earth, The Silmarillion, The Lord of the Rings, and all that good stuff, so if you enjoy the video, please give it a like and a subscribe! There will be a video on Amazon's Rings of Power soon.

The particular musical arrangement in the video is a makeup of tunes written by Howard Shore and can be found at the below link. The clips that I used were all scenes from Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings Trilogy.
