 +  * **Requirements:** Elf,[[priority:skills:craft|Craft]] (Any) 1, 10 Experience
 +
 +Elves are known to spend their very long lives pursuing their passions, which often lie in the creation of works of art. Though beautiful, they lack the practicality of other races. Elves with this Racial Talent may add two separate ability scores to a single specifically chosen[[priority:skills:craft|Craft]] skill. For example, a Elf may select[[priority:skills:craft|Craft]] (Statue), and choose to add their Wisdom alongside their Intelligence to checks with that skill. It is unusual, and not recommended, for an Elf to leverage this Talent for frivolous mortal pursuits such as running businesses and making coin.

 +You may purchase this Talent as many times as you wish, selecting a new specific[[priority:skills:craft|Craft]] each time.

 Though uncommon, some groups of elves are born with darkvision.

Elves with this racial trait gain [[priority:magic:spells:tier2:darkvision|darkvision]] with a range of 60 feet. Though uncommon, some groups of elves are born with darkvision.
