Glamour

### **What is glamour?**

Glamour is the magic of making things appear as you will by convincing the universe at large it is so. It comes naturally to Pixies and Fae but can also be utilized by magicians to some extent. Some believe the rule of three functions on a similar concept, in which you establish a precedent to the universe that it will pick up on and follow.

### **What can it do?**

Fundamentally, Glamour can twist reality into a shape more preferable to the user. It can enhance or decrease certain aspects, stretch form and lend normally impossible qualities.

The more the starting point resembles the endpoint, the easier the transformation. As to the impossible qualities, you can expect things like endless wire, straight looping corridors or ribcage xylophones.

Glamour can be broken by questioning it. If you can argue that something is not real and the universe finds your explanation sounder than that of the glamour users, it will break the illusion. This is highly dependent on the specific case, so there can be no firm rules for it. When in doubt, consult staff.

### **How do I use it?**

While Fairy and pixies can alter their surroundings simply by existing within them, magicians that have somehow acquired glamour (most often in the form of hair, blood, skin etc. of either a pixie or fae) usually mix it into a paste and apply it to whatever they want to change, then mold it like clay.

Fairy have a set pool of power they can expend for their glamour, measured in points. The total is ten points. This may expand or decrease throughout RP by things like empowering yourself through cultism, losing power through a hit to your karma or similar.

Magicians can acquire glamour through trade or theft. How much points of glamour their item has is determined by staff upon acquiring it. As a rough guideline, a bit of hair would be two points, a litre of blood 4 and an entire faery corpse 10.

Glamouring up an object costs one point per changed attribute. If you were, for instance, to transform a stick into a sword, you sharpen it, possibly elongate it and change the material. This would be three points.

The cost also scales to the size of whatever you are affecting.

 Objects up to a car
 Objects up to a truck
 Objects up to a suburban house
 Objects up to an apartment building
 Objects up to a skyscraper

Giving anything an impossible trait doubles the cost.

All changes decay after a day, unless you decide to maintain them. In that case, your pool of glamour decreases by the cost of the working for as long as you keep it up.

The pool regenerates after your Faery had time to rest up or, if you are a magician using glamour stuff, it will regenerate as long as there is one point left in it. It will require some form of attention, though. Also, it might passively change the place it is stored in. For instance a glamour-filled feather stolen form a Pixy might very slowly turn its surroundings whiter and fluffier

### **Niche uses and edge cases**

Name stealing:

A fairy can use their glamour to steal peoples names and by proxy their place in the world. As with all things, Fairy need permission to take something that belongs to someone else, so you will have to be creative in your approach. Once you have somehow acquired someone's name, though, you can take on their appearance and for as long as you hold it, the universe will be convinced you are that person. It will give you ownership of their possessions, their friends and their obligations.

This glamour can not be broken by questioning it, as you are the rightful owner of the name you bear and thus everything it represents.
