... Mortic and Elanor managed to deal with OOC Yahweh without resorting to saying 'well it wasn't him after all!'. That's a case which would most benefit from saying that.

If Aslan is written as having mental conversations with the Princess of Sparkleshine, then sure, that's OOC - he doesn't exactly do that regularly - but it doesn't need to make him a character replacement. Sorting out the story has always fixed OOC problems, and if it doesn't, there's always neuralysers. 'I'm sure nobody wants to deal with' is always countered by 'well, actually I have a joke for that...'

PS: Vilya is the Ring of Air. The primary known function of it is hiding Imladris from enemy sight - not by making it invisible, since it clearly isn't, but somehow, since the valley is in the middle of nowhere and has never been found. It isn't too great a leap to suggest it can also hide the mind of the bearer from evil - thus protecting Lord Elrond's mind without actually stopping authors controlling his actions. ~hS
