Summon noble elf is a complex spell of Bloom, the affinity that Virenna, the Greenmother holds. It takes several turns to cast, and it calls Noble elf, the proudest lines of the elves, who hold a field from afar: their first volley pins foes where they stand, and their second comes down as lightning.
The noble lines believe they are older than the Scar, and that the Greenmother remembers her own. It is their belief, not a record. Since the Breaking, every Unsealing unmakes the Hallow, and bodies perish unless something preserves them. Tellan, the Keeper of Tallies keeps the names and songs of the Human lineages on the Mnemoliths; the elves name no keeper but the Greenmother. A line, the elves answer, is not a body.
Mages of Pyre and Lumen can reach this spell; mages of Reverie and Umbra cannot. Outside Bloom it costs more, fails more easily and calls fewer. A deeper realm calls more. The spell makes no claim to great age: it has been pressed into shards since the Age of the First Sealborn, and it perishes at every Unsealing.
