This phenomenon would be exponentially greater within their own homeland - which is where we are presently located. One's shadow, for instance, could potentially develop its own will."

"Or it could merely be a trick, a prank by one of the fae. An inconvenience for a time, potentially debilitating if not taken care of, but not inherently malicious in nature. Fae are not human, after all. Their understanding of things can be quite different from our own."
