Elven Magick

Elven Magick wields over the realm of plants and herbs. Their mastery of the plant vocations is second to none. Their ability to manipulate and control plants and herbs surpasses all other races. Elven Mages cannot have access to any other forms of magick.

Elven Priestly Mages

History
When the True Elves of Alquennas abandoned the Great and Wood Elves the true elves ripped a hole in the social, spiritual, and cultural needs of the Great and True Elves. The True Elves believed that the lesser elves were only created to serve the True Elves and were no longer needed. The True Elves took with them into hiding what they believed would be enough stock of the Great and Wood elves to serve them until they were ready to travel back the Realm of Faerie.

An Eloann (first one) came fourth and instructed the Great and Wood Elves on the teaching of the Monarch (the King of the deities) and the vassals of the Monarch (the lesser deities). These teachings filled the hole left by the abandonment of the True Elves. As time progress the Monarch and his vassals taught the Great and wood Elves how to tap the Alquennas realms of priestly magick.

The result is that Great Elves and Wood Elves have the ability to learn, practice and wield any priestly magick within the game system. The only exceptions are the racial specific priestly mage vocations that exclude Elves. True Elves and Cannot and Will Not even consider learning priestly magick as their faith does not include the options.

Thus in the Elven culture priestly mages have the ability to wield a greater range of magicks.
