			This one is here in part to give Alice a distinct, if tenuous connection to the Undercity and other criminal elements without straight up throwing her headfirst into that mix.

	Basically, this is the sort of magic Jaala did in your last Urban Fantasy game, but being Fae rather than an actual Wizard, it doesn't get access to all the bonus modifiers an actual Wizard could tap into. Again, trying to keep the power level in line with the Seelie/Unseelie Magic stunts.

	'''Pathfinder:''' [Refresh Stunt] You can open portals between the mortal world and the wild (unaffiliated) regions of Faerie. Once per session, you may declare your convenient arrival in a scene via a portal.

	'''Wild Magic:''' [Bonus Stunt] You can tap into the energies of the Ways between the Mortal Realm and the Wild (unalligned) places of the Nevernever, twisting reality in subtle but significant ways. In game terms, you may perform any of the four basic actions with understated and ephemeral magical effects that resist being identified or even acknowledged by those looking on. Unlike Evocation, that tends to be flashy and in-your-face, often leaving behind obvious signs that magic has been performed, Wild Magic tends to nudge things just enough that the inclination of reality is to simply 'snap' back into place the moment the magic is spent, and those who witnessed it tend to mentally rewrite whatever they think they saw with something more plausible.

			These are both options for Additional Stunts under the True Fae Mantle. FWIW the wings are of the gossamer dragonfly sort and are pretty much perpetually hidden under glamour while in the Mortal Realm.

	'''Glamour:''' You may cast minor veils and seemings. With a moment of concentration, you may draw a veil over something roughly person-sized, hiding it from sight and other means of detection. Or you may cause a person or object to appear differently than it normally does. An observer may attempt to discern the illusion, but to do so, they must have some legitimate suspicion that they might be seeing a glamour. Use Intellect to resist any disbelief attempt.

	'''Banshee's Scream:''' As a Ban Sidhe, you are able to perceive ghosts and specters, spirits of the dead who still inhabit the Mortal Realm. You are able to speak freely with such spirits and they can speak to you. Once per session you can concentrate and let out a scream that reverberates across the Veil, drawing the spirits around you closer to the Mortal Realm where they can be seen and heard by all, granting you an additional level of scale on any action where the presence of the dead might affect the outcome.

			For a Mantle specific to Banshees, this felt like it had to be a Core stunt.
