On p. 6-7 of the BR rulebook, it states that elven voices "can hold a
mortal spellbound." Does this translate into any gaming effects, or is
this just for flavour?

I noticed the following sentence says "Unfortunately, elves are too
mindful of their superiority and treat others with coldness or
condesencsion." Does this attitude counteract the elven charm ability?
If so, would it be possible for an elf to discipline himself to hold his
attitude in check to use this ability against humans? Or, could an
adventuring PC elf, who has rid himself of his prejudices use this?

Thanks,
