I really loved the idea of songs of power in Silmarillion, like the battle between Finrod Felagund and Sauron in Tol-in-Gaurhoth:

>Then the gloom gathered; darkness growing
>In Valinor, the red blood flowing
>Beside the Sea, where the Noldor slew
>The Foamriders, and stealing drew
>Their white ships with their white sails
>From lamplit havens. The wind wails,
>The wolf howls. The ravens flee.
>The ice mutters in the mouths of the Sea.
>The captives sad in Angband mourn.
>Thunder rumbles, the fires burn—
>And Finrod fell before the throne.

Are there any more books that use concepts like this, rather than just outright blasting magic at each other?
