My half-elf became a Warlock with an Archfey Patron specifically because he wanted an elven soul to partake in reincarnation. Your videos on elves inspired 90% of my backstory, and now (assuming he survives) this video on the ritual of Akh'Faen'Tel'Quess will hopefully play a role in the resolution of his personal quest.

Could the elvish subrace polimorph thing, be used to turn a non-evil drow into another type of elf, so their soul can have a chance to get into Elvandor?

[@Gashren]

13:07 - I wonder what exactly Mystra has against "magic missle" arrows, that she allows only two arrows - that are created by use of High Magic, to which most mortals don't even have access - strike the same target per day, while any low-level wizard can just kinda spam Magic Missles onto the same target without that worry. And any medium level wizard can do 5 or more missles (in one casting!) into the same target, and then repeat that several times. But somehow shooting that same unerring missle from a bow (which does on average the same damage, just up to about 4 times as far) is a no-no and has to be restricted to 3 times per day per target? Considering line of sight is still a requirement it seems like she just doesn't like people using weapons. Especially true after looking up the very next option, targeting arrow, which means any spell (potentially dealing waaay more damage than arrow) will unerringly hit the target. Cue the targeted fireballs/metor swarms tandem castings to melt any enemy command center to the ground. Or hey, let's just gather tons of mages to cast Magic Missle on the poor sucker that was hit - with that, poor Eagle's Mark arrow seems really weak. Unerring barrage of magical darts, from way more than 120 feet (as targeting arrows allow to cast spell "regardless of whether the target is within the spell’s range" - BTW, touch spells, anyone?), any number of times per day (as long as you have the arrows)? And goddess of magic has nothing against that! And not just one mage, as the wording suggests multiple casters can use the arrow's effect if they manage to cast their spells in the next round after the arrow hit and say the key word the High Mage provides. I mean - surely there were at least some elven mages that thought about it in the past and tried it.

The "kindred link" magic seems like the perfect spell for a ranger (is that the class?) and their animal companion. You'd know how they feel about a given situation, or if they were hurt or in danger while scouting for you, alongside the telepathic communication for said scouting (assuming it isn't hindered by language barriers). True companionship between Elf and Beast.

[@Cekseiro]

So, in theory, an elf who for some reason does not want to keep entering his or her afterlife, or experience revelry for some reason or other could basically just go up and ask a high mage to turn him into a drow, or ? Couple examples: Wood elf falls in love with a human, and he knows that when he dies, he will simply keep returning to the material plane, while the human will ACTUALLY either get her afterlife (even if depending on what that afterlife is they basically just become mindless partitioners) or get used in the Great Wall of Hell No, and decides 'nah, fam. When I get reborn I'm going to be stuck slowly watching someone I love and can never realistically see again if something doesn't give, even if directly between said lives are moments of pure bliss. Either she becomes an elf or I wish to stop being one.' High elf has some SERIOUSLY bad memories during her revelries. It's not that she wants to forget they happened, merely she doesn't want to keep reliving them, either from her current life or an old one, and just wants the images to stop. Also, what happens when an elf stops worshipping Corellion and worships another? Do they still experience the same rebirth, or are they sniped by the other god, thus more or less "removing" an elf from the rebirth pool? Do they still experience revelries?

[@bobjohnson7963]

this might be the wrong video to ask this but hypothetically, from a lore prospective, could a (mortal) caster or high-caster make a new weave? say a lich (or lichs) or some Elvin high-mage(s) thought that the restrictions on 10th 11th and 12th lv spells were more trouble than it is worth to cast such spells. we know it is possible for mortals to make fields of dead magic or anti-magic fields. With the death of the first goddess of magic, we know that making or at least partially remake the weave is possible. So, can mortals do the same? perhaps one way this could be done is to make a region with no magic, then at the border as you heal the weave, and as you do, you change the laws of spell casting. alternatively would a mortal need to star from scratch building a plane and magic system from scratch in the outer planes, limbo, a demiplane, or possibly the astral plane?

[@ElrohillLW]

The one who could do it simple would not be a mortal anymore. With such power he/she would rise as an exArch minimum, or even more. You must remember, that even greater god (in her time before spellplague) Shar tries this, and failed, and she had for her disposal not only the power of god but whole cult of willingly spellcasters to do it. Her shadowwave was only simple clone-mare shadow like- of Wave. It act as opposite of Wave, in many ways duplicate some of effects. But it was still not the same. To create and maintain the shadow wave Shar sacrifices many of her god-hood power (If I remember correctly she burned 2 tiers of godhood from Greater God to lesser one to do this, and this is a lot). And She knows that it is not enough, so she planned to overthrow Mystra with aid of Cyric... and this plan backfired in: - by dead Mystra (semi dead for 100 years, survived only thanks to her chosen ones, couple of magic items, and some people who sacrifices to the process doesn't even know what exactly are they doing), - collapsed wave for 100 years, - spellplague, - overspeeded collision of Aber and Toril - Shar was not able to replace the Mystra and was stripped off from the godhood (she became an exArch or sth like that) - 80% of all spellcasters dies or went mad - 90% of all magic items was destroyed or stripped off the enchantments
