GURPS LOTR Magic

[macphersonrants]

I have been thinking about how one might approach magic in a GURPS game set in Middle Earth. I am assuming that the goal is to be true to the books.

Can some of you Tolkien fanatics help me find examples of magic use and other supernatural powers in the various books and give me your ideas on how to model them under the GURPS rules.

I am most interested in magic for player character types. Gandalf, Saruman, Sauron, Melian, and so on are Maiar, basically angels or demi-gods. The stuff they do is worthy of discussion regarding what is possible in the setting, but I don't think it is very useful for giving an idea of what a PC should realistically be able to do. I'm most interested in what is possible for elves, dwarves, and men.

So far the stuff I have personally run into seems to mostly be enchanting. However, I am pretty sure that powerful elves at the least, show examples of some other stuff that probably should be dealt with using Powers.
