- Elves are the creatures of magic, fey or fey-like. Or sometimes, just humans with big ears. Elves are generally using divine magic, since in most settings they are closer to the gods (whom they view differently than humans).
- Of all the races, the Elves are the most proficient at magic and those who choose to learn Battle magic often progress swiftly in their colleges, their advancement held back only by human bigotry and what some call the 'crystal ceiling' rather than any lack of ability. It is very rare for an Elf to be allowed to join one of the Imperial Colleges, but a few succeed.

It is very rare for an Elf to be allowed to join one of the Imperial Colleges, but a few succeed. The most powerful magic known in the Known World today is that practised by the High Elves, called simply High Magic. Developed from the spells of the Old Ones thousands of years ago, this form of magic uses all the colours of magic, yet seems incorruptible by Chaos - or at least that is what the High Elves say. High Magic is rarely seen in the Old World, since magic-using members of that race visit its shores only very rarely. It is said that the High Elf mages have spells capable of destroying whole armies and raising castles in a single night, though most reputable scholars scoff at such tales. When the High Elves left the Old World, some of their number retreated to the woods and forests rather than leave the land they had grown to love. Over the centuries, they lost contact with the High Elves and grew closer to the world of nature, learning a new magic based on their deep knowledge of the forests. Their ability to affect the shaping of growing things with their magical singing is unique, although Wood Elf magic has an affinity to Jade and Amber magic and has some resemblance to the magic of Druidic Priests.
