Arcane sight: Blood elves have detect magic as a constant spell-like ability.
Arcane dependence: Blood elves must have a beneficial arcane spell cast on them once every 24 hours. If they do not, they are fatigued. After an additional 24 hours, they are exhausted.
Languages: Elves begin play speaking Common and Elven. Elves with high Intelligence scores can choose from the following: Celestial, Draconic, Gnoll, Gnome, Goblin, Orc, Taurahe, Darnassian, Zandali, Draenic, and Sylvan.

Alternative traits
Arcane torrent: Blood elves have a +2 bonus on dispel checks. This bonus increases to +3 when attempting to counterspell. This replaces the +2 bonus to checks to overcome spell resistance.
