[QUOTE="Mecheon, post: 9302149, member: 6801776"] That was in the past, now is purely biological If I use shapechanging magic to turn into a Tyrannosaurus rex and deliver a 35,000 newton bite to a target, that's not a magical attack. That's physical. No. That's wrong. Aquatic elves are a seperate species. They can't shapechange. Unless they're the Dragonlance ones, but those ones can't change into water breathing creatures given they've got dolphins and otters as their forms, and very specifically can't shapechange from an air-breathing elf form to a water breathing one. Look, I gotta be completely honest with you, elves are not the ones with the racism problem and this "Everything is spells now" is convoluted, doesn't really work, erodes away the sole interesting bit of flavour, and just makes things more complicated where it doesn't have to be. I see no benefit. I see no avoiding of a racist worldview. I just see overcomplication for overcomplication's sake. [/QUOTE]
