Homebrew Farey Species Details
A relative to elves, they derive from very magic oriented beings that have shrunken to very short sizes. They have an affiliation with nature, spirit, good feelings, and peace. A very friendly people.
Despite their small sizes, which can get even smaller with their transformation, they can reach high speeds and fly tall altitudes. Their main use of movement is their wings, causing their general strength and physical prowess to be more meek. However, their abundance in magic can make up for it, even allowing them a natural physical buff which allows them just enough strength to be able to push someone over in their fairy form. As much as they can be seen highly valuable for stealth, their wings emit small little pixie dust which can have a multitude of attributes - even causing wild magic.
They're typically more useful for magics, support, and scouting.
