faye FAYE — A collective term for magic beings. Faye are those creatures who exist as a natural part of the world and do not practice magic so much as be magic. Examples include fairies, sprites, and → listeners. Other creatures may be considered faye in some cultures while only fauna in others (an example of this is → calamity fish). Faye can also refer to geography or flora. Faye do not seek magic or develop magical properties. Rather, magic is a basis of their fundamental makeup. This is the primary way they differ from the → söklyn (seekers of magic) in that faye are born/spawned with magical abilities.
