Being innately magical in existence has its advantages, one of them is a trick passed on for ages: glamour. Fae Glamour is nothing more than an illusion, and it has its limitations, and its perks. To an observer they look and are even tactilely the size of your average humanoid; but that’s just the illusion of it all. In truth, the Fae are still their natural size with the projected illusion around them.
So what are the limitations? Non-wee objects. To an observer, when a Fae picks up an object and puts it in their pocket in their Glamour they see exactly that: the Fae put an item in their pocket; but in truth what happens is the object is suspended and floating around the Fae within their Glamour boundary. When the Glamour drops so do the items. Though most Fae have a strong enough glamour to hold many little items like potions and money, larger items (anything over one and a half feet in any dimension or over 15lbs.) are limited to only being able to carry two at a time. As long as a Fae is conscious, the glamour can remain up.
Dropping Glamour and “Hopping a Ride”
“Hopping a Ride” is a term referring to when Fae drop their glamour and in some form or another put themselves in another person’s care. This could be like hiding in a backpack to riding along in a large pocket. The first, most important thing to know is when this happens the Fae is at the mercy of the “ridden” person. All damage, effects, and fates that affect said person will also affect the Fae. Second, anytime a Fae drops their glamour in a manor to do something like this they are required to have a Fae sized representation of their PC. This representation needs to then take the place of the Fae PC in the place they wish to be or go.

- If a Fae becomes unconscious, their Fae Glamour drops – as do all the non-Fae items they are carrying in their glamour.
