Cantrips
Cantrips, more
simple known as “faerie magic”, are how changelings manipulate Glamour to create magical effects, both in the
dreaming and in the mortal world. A changeling sparks he own internal Glamour and thereby create a link with the Dreaming
- a link strong enough that she can draw upon and form the raw stuff of the Dreaming to suit her desires. In a sense, cantrips
are physical manifestations of Glamour.
Arts
Arts are the defined means by which a changeling can mold and shape
Glamour to produce certain effects. Each of the Arts is organised into five ranking powers of ascending potency. The powers
given are what is known to most changelings of Earth; ancient fae may have abilities far beyond the scope and ken of their
younger brethren.
The Arts described here only begin to scratch the surface of those
available to changelings; they are, however, the most commonly encountered. Being creatures of Glamour and whimsy, many changelings
have discovered other methods of using the Arts described here (often for radical and unorthodox results). Whether a character
can use an Art in a manner other than the ways described here is at the whim of the ST - though it never hurts to give it
a try.
Mortals often later forget the effects of Arts cast upon them (“Coincidence”
or “There must be a logical explanation”.) Any time a mortal is affected by or witnesses a Wyrd cantrip,
consult the Mists chart at the bottom of this page to determine exactly what she remembers.
