What were the FotR's magic items?

I still find it shocking when a D&D player says this.
It's worse when they say they haven't read Vance.

One could argue that most of the gifts from Galadriel were magic items in D&D terms, like Legolas's bow, the elf rope, etc. Or one could argue that they were mundane elven items that the outsiders didn't understand. Is lembas bread magical?
Magic food makes a lot of sense when you don't have to lose XP to craft magic things.

Sam even has a conversation about this with one of the elves. ("Is it magic?" "I'm not sure what you mean. It's elven-crafted, is that what you're asking?")
That's the kind of things that annoy me with elves.

Well, not exactly...

The Witch-King had a "curse" that said that he could not be killed by any son of man. The curse was apparently quite literal, because he was indeed killed, by the daughter of a man, and the son of a hobbit. ;)
It's a parody of Shakespeare, by the way. See the fight between Macduff and Macbeth in, well, Macbeth.
