TUP,<br/><br/>From Reliyian's perspective, let's just assume that even animal sacrifice is treated with disdain by the Mountains Elves. We might have left the forest but we still hug trees ^_^ In that all  life is revered and should be considered precious. Obviously they are not above defending themselves, but would be loathe to sacrifice even the smallest of creatures to satisfy an ephemeral greed for power...  hm, I'm going to put that in my IC post! And they do understand the cycle of life, predators and prey. However, for them magic is above that. Natural? Yes. But of a higher metaphysical level. So Reliyian understands the practical nuances but has cultural biases against them? Does that sound acceptable to you?<br/><br/>There is no formal religion for the Mountain Elves, as it were, but high in spirituality. Hence Reliyian's songs are like Psalms or hymns. There is a fine line between magical texts and scripture. I'm trying for a Judeo-Christian-Buddhist Shaolin sexy magic monk feel.<br/><br/>Also, I guess I read how the stunts work wrong. >_< Going back I see what you mean now. Therefore yes we'll change it to Prodigy for now and I'll think it through a little more for next time.  I wouldn't be too keen on changing challenge levels yet. If you think about it we sort of teeter on the edge and remember you can compel us and we have our weaknesses. Reliyian, for instance, is magically strong but physically weak. One bad roll and I cannot 'absorb' much. Also her will is not exactly top notch, a reflection of her naivety and relative innocence from a character perspective.
