A Glitterfly is a Joy Epiphling Spirit.
Overview[]
Joy-spirits are rare. They seldom appear in great numbers save in truly extraordinary circumstances. Some magi like to bind these Epiphlings into fetishes in their Chantries, retreating to the spirits' warmth whenever the world hangs heavy on their shoulders. Unfortunately joy does poorly in captivity; fireflylike Epiphlings often burn themselves out struggling against their prison walls. Many Dreamspeakers consider it a crime to compel service from these fragile Umbrood, and refuse to associate with anyone who is selfish enough to try to "own" a Joy-spirit.
Appearance[]
These tiny Epiphlings of Joy are all but invisible and untouchable, even in the Umbra. A Joy-spirit seems to be a minute shimmer of intense color, and a faint glimmer of something beautiful from the viewer's past. When a Gaffling of Joy speaks, it almost croons or hums hypnotically, coupling speech with Influence. If someone actively tries to communicate with a spirit, it becomes excited and energetic, broadcasting an uplifting sort of exuberance that can wash the garigue from a weary mage's limbs.
