Elven Mutations

Tapping into your ancestral genetics, you become a natural swimmer. You gain a swim movement equal to your base movement you started with during character creation.

You have an unnatural connection to energy, which allows you to push your channeling abilities farther. You gain +2 to your channeling limit and +5 to your absolute and maximum essence.

The cursed blood of the rare elven sub-species known as the Fueya flows through your veins. Your Fueya ancestry cuts off all connections to essence, making anything that uses essence now requires life force (health) instead. You cannot gain any essence and essence restoring properties have no effect on you. Gain half of what your starting essence from character creation would have been plus two in maximum and absolute health. This is a one time bonus and does not increase when essence normally would.

Some elves are naturally born with a special connection to energy. At a young age, they develop the ability to channel an elementary spell. You are uniquely connected to this spell. It works as a special ability which allows it to be activated differently than if you channeled it.

Gain one elementary spell that becomes a special ability for your character and does not require the use of a conduit. However, if the spell has a boost cost, you must activate it using the standard methods for channeling a spell.

You have beautiful eyes that, when you flow essence through them; they come to life. When activating this ability, you gain +1 influence per every two-essence spent, to a maximum of +5.

When in forests or similarly wooded areas, your hide skill automatically becomes expertise (+1 if already expertise) and is lucky.
