== Magic ==

A character may attempt to sing any magical Song that they have learned. Some songs require a WIT roll, others require CHA or even STR. None of the characters in the Fae Kingdom are &quot;research wizards&quot;. They only can sing songs that they have learned by hearing the songs.

The expected result of singing a song is NOTHING. A better result is that the song is effective. A worse result is that an angry faery appears. A much worse result is that an angry faery appears and immediately attacks the character.

Some characters have a specific type of song as an Extra.
