A couple of other things popped into my head while i was re-reading Late eclipses at work:

Is there a particular reason we dont see more flash-bang glittery magic bits from various people? I mean, the Queen of the Mists throws around transformations, Oleander does illusions, Toby has a mish-mosh of spells. The first born seem to have the most, but there havent been any sort of cataclysmic showdowns between the players thus far. I appreciate the fact that Toby solves situations, and then charges to the rescue in mundane ways. But I wondered why Sylvester didnt start throwing magic around when Oleander went to rush him or if fireballs and lightning werent in the realm of faerie magic.

Just a ponderance.

It depends on the type of fae. Sylvester probably couldn't call thunder if he wanted to. And we haven't really dealt with any storm fae. Roane can cause storms...

Flash-bang magic tends to do property damage AND get you killed. Bad combo.
