And the whole thing is written from the perspective of those who supposedly wrote it. If you remember the hobbits talking about magic, Galadriel corrected it. That's why there are so many references to 'magic' in the LOTR and the Hobbit but not the Silmarillion, which is written from an elven perspective.
