* Healing. With the mana that a fairy exudes, a fine dust falls amidst it, passively healing the fairy as well as anything it touches (For Occult Fae, they siphon the lifeforce around them passively). The dust can heal minor injuries within minutes after taking effect, closing small gashes and preventing bruising. Though a secondary, spiritual ability exists that few Fae would willingly bring up, as it comes at great cost to themselves to allow for the removal of even the most desperate of injuries. | * Healing.

* Blessing. Fae are able to grant a portion of their power, for a time. Magi who have been blessed can often call on greater might in their attacks and their connection with the natural flow of the world becomes enhanced. | * Blessing.

Fairies are Empaths that can pick up on vague intentions as well as a person's state of mind. This effective range can extend up to a mile in radius, explaining the creatures general ability to hide within nature unseen. Going further, depending on their experience, they can analyse the mana of others, noting the differences and are able to recognize an individuals signature. This makes them excellent trackers. |
* Telepathy. Utilizing their sensory organ, Fairies are capable of sending concentrated thoughts out into the world. A directed thought can be heard by an individual human at will. | * Telepathy.

* They are, by their nature, tethered to the spirit realm. Their bodies are held together by their magic, but also by the Lifestream. Even when corrupted, '''Yggdrasil''' refuses to yield her blessing. She is their great mother, they all instinctively know this. | * They are, by their nature, tethered to the spirit realm.

* On their person is an '''organ''' that allows for their extra-sensory abilities, often in the shape of antennae. It acts as a resonance filter, allowing them to identify and experience the state of things around them. From human emotions, to the purity of the landscape. | * On their person is an '''organ''' that allows for their extra-sensory abilities, often in the shape of antennae.

− | * | + | * Though they shed dust from their wings it is not the same as the Alchemy ingredient. The dust is just an excess buildup of mana being released as tiny flakes. The only valuable Fairy Powder comes from two sources. One is the Birth of a Fairy, where their first steps into the world leave behind highly concentrated dust from their wings that is salvageable with Alchemy. The other comes from crushing their calcified bodies. Making use of dead Fae is seen as an abhorrent defiling of their kin and is liable to cause conflict or avoidance. |
− | + | * Dark fairies often consider holy fairies with an air of disdain. The corrupting process exemplifies their worst qualities. Their hatred might be out of jealously, or a hostile desire to be wanted, or they simply view holy fairies as inferior. The two sides do not traditionally get along and are prone to conflict over it. | |

* They age about two times slower than humans. So, when a Fairy is '''40 years old''', they are basically '''18 in human years'''. A hundred year old fairy is still seen as something of an adolescent to older ones. The aging process seems to generally halt after 40 years old. | * They age about two times slower than humans.

* Fairies are long-lived, '''not immortal'''. They may reach up to three hundred and fifty years old, with growing weakness as they near the end point. Once their bodies have weakened and they can no longer sustain their bursting power, they calcify. Dying in peace. | * Fairies are long-lived, '''not immortal'''.

Their essence takes form in nature, one can even imagine them appearing from a newly opened flower pod. But on rare occasions they can and do come from the unity of a pair of elder Fae who create an egg by coalescing their combines mana's into a gem-like egg. It acts as a '''vacant doorway''' for a newly formed fairy to come through and be born. It can take years for it to hatch and Fae are known to store their eggs in secure places during the wait. The offspring often takes on a shared amalgamation of their parents. |
* Just because normal fairies are holy-aligned does not mean they must focus on it. As long as they buy their holy/occult openers they can choose to pursue any element they like. | * Just because normal fairies are holy-aligned does not mean they must focus on it.

* The wilderness is where they are most at peace. They enjoy their solitude and can only make room for those who bring them joy. Cities are prone to cause them distress, as they are forced to experience everything an apathetic race feels and does. Dark fairies might take pleasure in knowing others are suffering more than them. Holy Fairies probably will not. | * The wilderness is where they are most at peace. They enjoy their solitude and can only make room for those who bring them joy.

Though kind creatures, they are known to be determined in their removal of unwanted essence. | * One can consider Fairies to be the helping hands of the lifestream.

− | * | + | * There were rumors of Fairies deep bellow the Agarthan caverns. Devolved creatures with no minds that had lost their connection to Yggdrasil in its entirety. It is said they were forced to feed on whatever life force they might like swarming locusts in order to sustain themselves. It is all just rumors, surely. But the continent was known to make the improbable happen. |
