Question time! Toby Daye trivia is fun.

Since I have a book coming out in a week, I figure it's time to once again offer to answer your questions about the world. So...

I will make five blog posts detailing aspects of Toby's universe. Ask me anything! I will not answer every question, but will select the five that I think are the most interesting/fun/relevant, and will detail them to my heart's content. There's a lot to learn and know, and asking loses you nothing.

Leave your questions on this post. I'm declaring comment-reply amnesty for any that I choose not to answer this time, since otherwise, my wee head may explode.

Game on!

ETA: Things covered last time we did this: inheritance, fosterage, madness, historical records, and Cait Sidhe court structure.

OK, Seanan, here's the question (started on another thread): what is the relationship between energy and magic? For instance, if a fae has telekinetic powers, what does it cost them to 'push' something to a speed or to lift it? Do they get this energy (or most of it) from somewhere else (local environment, other people, their home area, some 'other' magical field (like the Force), etc.)? Does this depend on the type of fae (compare, in some fantasy worlds, witches who get the energy from themselves versus sorcerors who steal it from others)?

If the fae can take energy from somewhere else and translate it into Real World(tm) energy, does this give a possibility of one being enslaved by mortals for the power (the mortals would see this as "something for nothing", nothing which bothers them anyway)?

Good question, no answer...yet.
