Page "Eragon (character)" Paragraph 29

Guided by Oromis, Eragon composed a poem to present at the Blood-Oath Celebration, a traditional Elvish ceremony commemorating the pact of peace between the Elves and the Dragons.

During the festivities, a magical gift from the Dragons healed Eragon of his wound, and he was physically transformed, acquiring the features and abilities of an Elf.

Only after this transformation was he able to beat Vanir, breaking the latter's arm.

After this transformation, Eragon was able to cast much more powerful magic ; he could read and write more easily and was now as fit and strong as the most athletic elf in Alagaësia, he was also able to control a more powerful bow that the queen Islanzadi made herself.
