[QUOTE="Brainwatch, post: 7839642, member: 6683885"] I too like the idea that the "magic" is somehow moonlight. Several ideas that jumped into head are: 1) a Local druid/druid circle (gang?) performs a ritual under the full moon that creates a liquid moonlight. A: The halfling distiller stole a bottle and is now getting desperate to replace his dwindling supply. B: The moonlight is payment from the druid(s) to the distiller who is extorting/blackmailing/threatening someone they love.. C: The moonlight is a "gift" from a druid as a symbol of (forbidden?) love. D: The druids supply the moonlight because they want to share it with the world and the distiller is just a middleman who has no idea what the "secret" ingredient actually is. 2: The moonlight is secretly being supplied by a Fae because: A: The Fae wants to see the mischief caused when the moonlight is suddenly not available. B: The Fae is supply the moonlight to "get back"/defy the Fae court C: It all part of a plot. Next year when the same full moon appears (for example first full moon after spring equinox) all who have consumed a sufficient quantity will become thrall/slaves/transformed of the Fae court. Just some quick thoughts. [/QUOTE]
