Да? Странно. Вы ролик видели? Там такая магия, что Гэндальф наверно бороду кусает

Я ролики не смотрю - зачем мне реклама?
Я читаю то, что говорят разработчики. Они сказали, что хотят соответствовать духу Толкина. Ну и много ли магов было у Толкина?
Ну и еще - класса "маг" в игре нет.
(Вообще где-то я читала инфу по этому вопросу, но т.к. не помню где и не сохранила ее - настаивать не буду, вдруг они передумали?)

О, нашла инфу:
3.5 Magic
The magic system will be true to Tolkien's work which will mean that the magic system will be different from the systems we have got to know from the (MMO)RPGs and will have little combat magic. Magic within Tolkien work is pretty subtle and the more powerful magic is used by characters way more powerful than player-characters can hope to achieve and/or simply not playable (e.g. Wizards). The following rules apply to magic system:

• The five Wizards are off limits as player characters.
  
  The profession "Wizard" is not available to players.
  
  Hobbits cannot use innate magic, but they can wield magic items.
  
  Elf, Dwarf and Man can use innate magic to some degree or another, but they each have their own style of magic.
  
  There are magics greater than what these races can use that are off limits and out of bounds of player characters.
  
  The number of magic-using professions will be less than the number of mundane professions.
  Magic using professions can and should use mundane skills as well.
  
  There are heavy costs to innate magic.
  Magic items, words and songs are more common than "innate" magic. However, major magic items are not common.
  
  The world itself is magical.
  
  Domination magic is corrupting.

Read this thread for a summary from Chris on the magic system.
The article about Music it suggested that music will have magical properties such as removing weariness and inducing fear. The fansite kit contained an image of an orc called an "Orc Spell Shouter".
