-    description= _ "Being partly faerie in nature, elves have an inherent capability for magic. This is realized in their affinity with the natural world, which they can call upon as an ally in combat. Enemies wandering in their forests may soon find themselves entangled by roots and hindered by the very ground they stand on.

-The healing abilities of the elves are also remarkable, and of capital use in battle."
+    description= _ "With a little training, an elf’s inherent affinity with the natural world can be channeled into a material magic that affects the physical plane. Shamans of this discipline most often use their skills to tend to the nature that connects them to their powers, resulting in the unusually lush and verdant forests surrounding their homes. The same magic lends itself to remarkable and well-reknowned capabilities in the healing arts. Devotly peaceful by nature, these shamans rarely engage in combat, instead using their magic to command the earth itself to hinder or pacify their enemies."
