    Magic

    All Fey are magical creatures, all of them can use magic and the Sidhe are the most powerful. This page is mainly concerned with the magic of the Sidhe. Lesser Fey will have magical abilities, but they will usually not have hands of power and will not have such a wide range of powers.

    Sidhe usually have one or two hands of power. All Sidhe can use glamour, some are more powerful at it than others. Glamour can be used to hide (scars and deformaties) or to make them look more beautiful. Some fey can make themselves look more human (make their skin less luminous) or make themselves look more inhuman, more stunning by adding to the glamour. Glamour can be proved force by touch. Fey all have an aura (the new age term), a personal power (fey term), and can feel/view another fey's personal power.

    The magic of a sidhe can be used to create spells, make protective wards, sense magic and much more. Some Sidhe have the ability to manifest something from nothing, or have power over something; nature, death, water, darkness to name a few. Healing is another talent, but it is rare and healers are kept out of the Guard since they are too precious to risk. There are various different ways of healing as well, some can stop blood flowing, others can heal with magic or a touch. Some magic involves touch, others do not need to touch someone/something to use their magic.

  • Contacting by Mirror & Blade -
  • Fey contact each other using mirrors. It involves using magic and hand gestures are used to make the turn the mirror on or off. The mirror's surface changes to show the other person called/calling, allowing fey to speak face to face with one another. It is possible to keep a mirror blanked from callers until you wish the visitor to be able to see you. The sound of music or a bell announces their call.

    If a mirror is not nearby Sidhe can use blood and magic on a non-magical blade to contact another.

    In Game

    As you can see, the magic of the Sidhe varies and can include almost any power. Please remember that even the eldest Sidhe have lost some (or most) of their power. They are no longer gods or as powerful as they once were.

    The only powers not accepted in this RPG are: telekenisis, telepathy (unless magic based), astral projection etc. Sidhe have abilities based on traditional magic not abilities of the mind or magic scene in TV shows. If you are unsure ask a host / Hostess to help decide. If they say no. Then NO unless you would like to have the "Queen's Mercy"
