I made up a list of races among them Elves, Goblins, and Titians, (a new
race I added) that get this bonus.

I wanted to keep the bonus limited, and did not want to make it too easy to
use.  My rational was that these races must consciously maintain this
additional pool of power.  When they sleep the power drains away.  I
consider TFT to be fairly well balanced, if I made the bonus these races
received too great every one would want to play one to the detriment of the
other races.
