Joma, 34th of The Second Seed, 1305 :: Written by Arch Mage Bell :: Prologue: :: The magic of the Elves is derived from nature, taken from the trees and the plants surrounding them. Holding a strong connection to the lifeforces surrounding them, including those of plant, beast, and man, Elves are able to manipulate or augment these forces to their advantage. Yet they always must keep in mind the delicate connections they hold to nature, and never allow the lifeforces they hold sway over to become corrupted or tainted. These writings are dedicated to the Druids of Malinor and to the Elven Council of Malinor, especially High Prince Native, Princess Ariana, and Prince Toren. :: ::  ::  ::  Each race has its own unique magic.
