Magic is mentioned frequently in Middle Earth, from the Hobbit to the Return of the King, Elven magic, Dwarven runes, Mair Magic, all of this is mentioned. I thought it might be neat to implement this all into a mod. Many suggestions have asked for this and I would like to share my opinion on how I believe the best way for it to be implemented is.

Enchanting
Every race should have an enchanting table, however some factions might have their own as well. For example there should be a Orc enchanting table, and a Mordor enchanting table. Some races would have more powerful enchants. The best enchanting table would be Elven, and Mordor enchanting tables. Although Dwarven, doc guldor and Angmar enchanting tables would be good as well

Anuir Magic
This would be a special kind of magic. I believe that players should be able to access Magic simmiliar to that of the Istari because simply it is to good of a in game mechanic to leave out. However it should have its limits to keep it from getting to OP.

how to get it
To receive this power you would need a lot of alignment. First you would need to reach 10000 alignment with either good or evil factions. When you reach 10000 positive alignment you would get the achievement "herald of the Valar. If you reach 10000 negitive alignment with the negitive side you would get the achievement: mouth of sauron. You would also need a min of 50 quest for the faction you are allied with. Becoming a wizard shouldn't be easy.

how it works
Once you get 50 mini quests and 10000 alignment you can now use Magic. You could do this by typing in short commands or keys while playing. It wouldn't be anything special, just to be open iron doors, or to lighting things on fire by clicking a key. Maybe you might be able to summon lighting and possibly shoot balls of fire. However there would be a limit to it.

limits and keeping it from being op
To keep it from being op you would have a Magic bar at the side of your screen. When ever you used Magic it would go down a bit. It would take a really long time for it to fill up again so players couldn't use Magic very often. Summoning lighting or shooting fire balls or stuff like that would take a lot of energy, almost the whole bar. So starting off you could only do it once or twice. It should take like 15 to 30 minutes for it to be full again.

becoming more powerful
The more you use Magic, the more your Magic stamina improves. In other words after a while, your bar will stop depleting as fast and fill up faster than it did when starting off. However it would take a very long time for it to become more powerful, and there would definitely be a limit to how much it could continue to grow.

tools of the trade
Using a staff, enchanted weapon or ring or amulet would give you more magical stamina while you are using the item.

End
