Also, being lazy I would just crush silver confectionery balls in a mortar and pestle, making Fairy Shrapnel. It’s not as cute, but it doesn’t have make the Elves duck when you throw it over them.

Thank you. Thank you each for your kind words and advice, but they’re not going to bring Morrigwn back, or enslave any of you to my Faery overlords. Thanks,though.

a very small famine would work wonders round here too C&C, but it would have to be very small…

I did buy some glittery fairy dust before Christmas to sprinkle on the fairy cakes…. ??

if you turn into a tree, you’ll never last a century without being vulnerable to anyone with a big chopper - I’d stick to the curfew if I were you….

I accidentally caught sight of my Faerie wife doing the dishes one afternoon, so she vanished back from whence she came. The rozzers took me up on suspicion of murder after my neighbours reported that they hadn’t seen her for a while - and of course I couldn’t prove she existed.
Thankfully a warlock in my local constabulary is on a Joint Task Force with the LoF authorities, so instead of doing hard time here I was offered the choice of Mushroom Comfort and Stability Advisor, nyymph-wing polisher or this. It meant I could work from home, but if I break curfew I turn into a tree for a century.
It’s true. If you can’t do the time, don’t do the crime, or even look like you did.

…or should that be wands…? what on earth did you do to deserve such punishment Magnetite…?

Oh, C&C. That wasn’t aimed directly at you. Heaven forfend. It was launched into the aether as part of my community service in the Land of Faerie Outreach and Human Enslavement Programme. I’ve got 60 hours left to do or it’s the chokey, so I’m clutching at straws…

Okay. I’ll try that next….

Pills. Tablets. Medicaments. Why not try Faerie food instead? It’s non-fattening, low in cholesterol and, as long as you don’t mind the eternity of captivity in Tir na n’Og, better than any diet pill.

Oh YaY. I’ve got a virus. Stuff the diet, bring on the Supersize Ben and Jerrys.
IT’S NOT MY FAULT.
