I came up with the idea that there should be two different types of magic. One would exist in our modern day world while the other would be a pure type of magic that exists and is used only by the faerie creatures themselves.

​

Chaotic Magic: This type of magic exists because of non-believers. As a person grows older, they tend to believe less and less. This causes a type of dust particle to form due to non-belief and is used by those who thrive in our world. The Taker, as described in the first Mierna book, can be any creature that drains mortals of their energy, often times thriving in communities where these particles collect, called Faerie Wilds. 

​

In the coming third book, we'll see exactly how these particles affect Vlanders. Thus, we get to the point of rain. Why is it a big deal for Vlanders to appear during or after storms? This is because chaotic particles can cling to his coat, weighing him down and possibly draining him of his own powers. They may even drain humans if one happens upon a faerie ring or hear a lonely song in the woods. 

​

Beware the woes of faerie foes

With lies upon the tongue. 

They lead you astray,

Then beg you to stay

Until your days are done!

​

Faerie Magic: Vlanders uses pure magic created from belief when born into the Fae. This type of power can yield many different results, but its color will always show up as a blue-green or turquoise, while chaotic magic is a deep purple.
