-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 Craft skill. For example, a Elf may select 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.+Elves are known to spend their very long lives pursuing their passions, which often lie in the creation of works of art.

You now ignore difficult terrain, and you may move across the thinnest of surfaces, such as snow, ice, mud, quicksand, and small tree branches, but not true liquids or lava.
