Elves could use one (or more) of the following:
+40% or even 50% WPA
Clear Sight
Beefier military (6/4 or 5/5 elites or a 0/6 spec. WPA can actually go down with the 0/6 spec if needed)
I want to say Meteor Showers as a racial for a larger choice of personalities but then fae get it too >.<
Some kind of rune generation bonus
Move the duration bonus back and raise it to 30% (let fae keep the other two)

Edit: Missed humans (and thus faeries) losing ToG. The other spells are still much better than what Elf gets for bonuses.

I would prefer a beefier military but I'm struggling to come up with a way to make that happen without breaking things. 5/5 Elites might be an option but that kind of undermines their def spec. 6/4 elites would do it (still have reason to use specs) but that might make them overpowered.

Mana bonus in war?
Reduced thief loss passive?
Spellbook: CS, Fanaticism, QF?
Better WPA bonus?
WT effectiveness bonus?
CS on Elf would NOT be pretty swell.

CS/RM/ToG/QF/Fanaticism/Greater Protection/Town Watch/FoK/Mage's Fury/Invisibility, etc... -- should all be personality spells. Put the self-spells in the personalities section and the offensive spells (besides MS which goes to Mystic) as racial spells. All problems solved FOREVER.
