 ===== Unique Features =====
 ==== Aeonic Mindset ====
-//Elves think on the scale of Ages. Their decisions are shaped by the expectation of living long enough to see outcomes fully unfold, and this grants them a way of thinking that prizes correctness over speed. An elf observes first, studies second, plans third, and practices until error has been ground away entirely. Action is delayed not by indecision, but by patience — by the certainty that rushing only creates work that must later be undone. When an elf finally commits, the result is often flawless, executed with a precision born of repetition and foresight rather than inspiration. To shorter-lived peoples this mindset can appear slow, aloof, or infuriatingly cautious, but to elves it is simply the natural consequence of knowing they will still be here when everyone else is gone, plus, it is hard to argue with the results.//\\

 ==== Silence! I’m trying to think! ====
-//Elven cognition is powerful, and fast, but not susceptible to rapid change. Their minds are built for depth, not immediacy, and sudden change disrupts them more than it does most species. When situations evolve rapidly, plans fracture, or interruptions break concentration — especially during complex rituals or precise work — elves struggle to reorient. Momentum lost is difficult to regain, and improvisation rarely comes naturally. Where others push through chaos on instinct, elves must first restore internal order, often at great cost. In calm conditions this flaw is invisible; in crisis, it can be decisive.// \\

 ==== Dreamwaker ====
-//Elves do not sleep, because they do not need to leave the waking world to touch the astral. Where most beings rely on dreams to flush mana through the body — restoring mind, soul, and form — elves remain continuously connected, their awareness threaded directly into the living currents of magic. They pause only to centre themselves, never to rest. Subtly sustained by light and environment, they can work, study, create, and cast without the cycles of exhaustion that bind other races. Spent mana returns to them with unnatural speed, allowing sustained and repeated spellwork where others would falter or collapse. Though their bodies heal more slowly than some, this is a trivial cost for a people who never truly power down. Elves are awake when others dream, present when others recover, and dangerous precisely because their magic does not wait for permission to return.//\\

-You do not require sleep and thus you can not receive the benefits of a [[Game_Mechanics:Rest]], nor do you suffer any ill effects for staying awake for long periods of time. Therefore you will not restore [Health], [Mana] or [Grit Points], nor will you heal [Injuries] or [Panics] if you [Rest].\\

-Instead you restore [Mana] equal to your [Hokum] at the end of each <wrap preview>[[:Game_Mechanics:Encounter]]</wrap> instead of each [[:Game_Mechanics:Scene]]. At end of each [Scene], you will restore 1 missing [Health]. If your [Health] is full, you will reduce the [Severity] of your oldest [Injury] or [Panic] by 1. Finally, at the end of each [Period], you restore 1 missing [Grit Point].\\

 <WRAP Notice> **Ash's Aside**\\
 \\
-It is reasonable to assume that you may be able to perform tasks, as [Appropriate], while others perform [Rests], but it is important to understand that [Elves] do like to take time to meditate and think on recent events, so it is important to role play such activities as well. However, there is nothing wrong with asking the [Character] who doesn't sleep to go on watch.
