Rhapsody (CTD)

Rhapsody is a means of harvesting Glamour that is strictly forbidden by the Kithain. A changeling can imbue so much raw Glamour into a mortal that he burns like a Roman candle; all his creativity goes into one, final, glorious masterpiece. This is the last creation the artist or Dreamer is capable of as he is left drained forever after.

All Kithain, Seelie and Unseelie, forbid the use of Rhapsody because it destroys any possibility for more Glamour in the future. It also destroys the mortal's life so thoroughly that he may become an enemy of changelings subconsciously, if he survives. Many Rhapsodized mortals succumb to exhaustion, suicide or stress-related ailments. The work of art that results from Rhapsody contains copious amounts of Glamour, and when the work is destroyed, the Glamour is released. (And this is added insult to injury for the artist—not even his greatest creation is allowed to live on.)
