[QUOTE="(Psi)SeveredHead, post: 6096291, member: 1165"] Elven high magic only existed due to elven racial limits. They were the best casters in Forgotten Realms, especially in the Arcana Age, yet mechanically humans were. Here was the fix. The kinds of effects that Elven High Magic covered were often worthy of being epic, and yet not. For instance, the mythal of Myth Drannor gave all elves in the city a large number of minor abilities, such as levitation. An epic spellcaster could have been casting spells like that for centuries, but an ordinary 1st-level elf would consider this a wondrous thing. It's not the kind of thing that an epic adventurer would care much about (although an epic wizard who is staying at home could and would). Most people using the Epic Level Handbook would be thinking of spells useful for adventuring, not that kind of "domestic" ritual. Elves usedto be the only "bladesingers", although in some settings/editions anyone can be. I would still expect most bladesingers to be elves. [/QUOTE]
