Each culture exhibits a higher frequency of certain spells. In the Forgotten Realms, the default culture for an Elf is the High culture. But there can also be a chart for the "typical" spells of other elven cultures as well. There can be new cantrips: Wings and Gills. Darkvision can be a cantrip too. Here are examples of spells that trend in each elven culture.ELVEN CULTURE: TYPICAL SPELL CHOICESAstral: Light, Sacred Flame, Bless, Misty StepDrow: Darkvision, Dancing Lights, Faerie Fire, DarknessEladrin: Frostbite, Sacred Flame, Charm Person, Misty StepHigh: Prestidigitation, Guidance, Detect Magic, Misty StepMark of Detection: Darkvision, Guidance, Detect Evil/Good, AuguryMark of Shadow: Darkvision, Minor Illusion, Disguise Self, DarknessMark of Storm: Booming Blade, Thaumaturgy, Fog Cloud, Warding WindPalid: Darkvision, Light, Sleep, Invisiblity.Sea: Darkvision, Gills, Speak with Animals, Enhance AbilityShadar-kai: Darkvision, Resistance, False Life, Misty StepWood: Darkvision, Druidcraft, Longstrider, Pass without TraceEtcetera. You can pick spells that are less typical in your culture.In the context of a specific setting, there can be backgrounds, such as High Elf Mithral Armorer, or Wood Elf Deer Rider.</blockquote>
