=== Gaining Glamour or Banality ===

Fae no longer gain Glamour directly from musing and Dreamers (though a room full of creative folks would count as a high Glamour area) nor do they automatically gain Banality in Banal environments without actively trying.

The mechanic Fae use to acquire temporary Glamour or Banality is similar to the Harvesting method used by the Nunnehi.  However this method of Harvesting doesn’t involve drawing strength from "nature" per se, but instead a certain untapped potential quality in their surroundings.  Rather than specifically natural surroundings, the Fae must be in a Glamour or Banality related area to gain temporary points of the appropriate sort (though such areas could certainly include natural environments).

The character must spend about an hour in such an environment attuning themselves to it and seeking out the bits and pieces of Glamour or Banality there.  The character may take action or engage in conversation while there, in fact doing so may be necessary part of the Harvesting process for them, but they may not engague in any activity which is dramatically important or expends Glamour or Banality.  At the end of this time the player makes a roll with their number of successes indicating the number of points gained in the sought after quality:

'''Banality gained from Harvesting = Roll Wits+Kenning (DC=permanent Glamour)'''

'''Glamour gained from Harvesting = Roll Wits+Kenning (DC=permanent Banality)'''

''Note:  This does mean that characters with less than 2 points of permanent Banality automatically gain the maximum amount of permanent Glamour.''

Fae may also attempt to Raid an area to simply suck all the Glamour or Banality out of the region within a couple rounds.  After a Fae Raids an area that region becomes "Normal", no longer charged with either Glamorous or Banal tensions.  Those within a surrounding region (possibly even up to a quarter mile or more away) make a Kenning check (DC 6) to notice this effect

Even mortals nearby may notice that something they can’t quite place has changed in a Raided area.  Generally mortals in an area that was formerly Glamorous feel frustrated with the impression they screwed up something important, or disappointed as if they’d missed out on interesting things and great times.  Those in a Banal area that has been Raided suddenly succumb to paranoia or the uneasy feeling there’s some crucial deadline coming up that they’d forgotten.

'''Glamour gained from Raiding = Roll permanent Banality (DC=3)'''
