Elf mage
Mages of Valkor
Build spells by combining their size, shape and element. Mages study offensive magic alongside useful spells such as light.
Elves resemble humans, but look more frail and delicate outwards. Looks can be deceiveful, though, although elves in general tend to work with their mind rather than with their body. They are slightly shorter than an average adult human. Their skin is light and fair. They usually have golden, blond hair, but that may differ as much as with humans. Their eyes are deep shades of blue or green. Their ears narrow somewhat towards the top but are not actually pointed.
The elves count themselves as being the oldest of the races, and can appear somewhat patronizing towards other races. This has caused trouble on several occasions throughout their history. They live in great cities and have a highly organized society. Their political system is intricate to the point of being unwieldy, although they have one Queen as supreme ruler, in theory at least. They often find other races to be crude and hasty. Elves are natural born riders giving them massive bonus in the field of warfare thus benefitting them a small bonus to all riding related skills.
