What magical abilities do elves have?
Note that Middle-Earth Elves’ abilities appeared magical to men but strictly there was nothing truly magical about any elf. Their ability to appear ageless to mortals was as a result of their “natural immortality” – to be immune to diseases, recover rapidly from wounds, heal others, “sleep” as they move, and as a result live a lot longer than all bipeds. They could however be killed like any men, and when dead would return to the earth (Valinor). They also possessed legendary abilities with bow and arrow, remarkable agility, heightened senses, and affinity with all of nature. They represented areas of perfection in a race that Man could never match.
