*dying voice screeches out* There's no… such thing… as… magic.

Seriously though. You don't just dabble in 'magic'. You seem to forget that some of the Nazgul were told to be sorcerers even before their service to Sauron

And where does Galadriel get her power? (I'm honestly asking this question) Galadriel's power comes from the Fë of Celebrimbor which was imbued into Nenya, along with what projection her own Fë allows her to do. That is to say, sanwë-menta. Almost all of the things she does is merely misunderstanding how things works that is called magic; for instance, healing. Estë would just have massive amounts of knowledge of healing, rather than being 'magic'.

And on your first point, it was men calling them that. They probably just had higher knowledge, or sacrificed to weird gods and performed exquisite rituals.
