Elves from Athas care nothing about the thing you say represent all elves.Woold elves of the Nentir Vales do not use beauty to cast spells against the Drow they hunt.Elves from Eberron arent more to charisma than any other race.The Grugach ultra-xenophobic and isolationist elves from Greyhawk are not example of social grace.The wild elves of FR in their gigantic jungles do not use magic to enhance beauty or as a fashion sense.I do see your point when talking about the Norse Alfar and the fair-folk of the British isles, as they are the ones who inspired Tolkien and are use as the inspiration for what we understand as ''elves''. That's why I said one elf culture and one heritage gift could be added to represent the trope of the supernatural beauty of the elves. But as a base element of the heritage? That's big no.</blockquote>
