Question: In the Inheritance Series how do child elves have more strength than adult!? Is it because they were conceived!?
In the third book, Brisingr, Eragon meets two elf children and the elf swordsmith tells Eragon that they have more strength than an grown elf could ever have because they are children!.

All elves were children at one point!. They just have more magical power simply because they are children!. I don't know why-- it wasn't explained in the book!. I think we'll learn about it in the next book!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I wasn't sure myself but looking back I think he said that as they get older they gather more information so they must loose some space for magic in their brains, they are maybe like more pure magical entities because their brain is filled with magic without all the worries and bothers of the world!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

It's just cuz they're children!. No other reason I guess!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
