Nanoisms:

One woman who had a studio just a couple of blocks from my aunt's house once painted a few of us as fairies, with ripped jeans and glossary wings...

We spotted a couple of the Magics playing on a car. They were leaving trails of glitter all over its service.

Shameless word padding:

It is just something for you to be aware of as a hypothetical possibility that may come to play a part in your life sometime in the future.

Plain old bad writing:

...the wild magic running wild...

It seemed to offer resistance for a moment, then it sunk into me like I was made of pudding.

And the Faerie usually gave us some idea of our focus for the working, but on this night, there was no mention. She seemed more tense then usual as well, though it seemed to be making her more focused and determined, rather then distracting her as it seemed to be the rest of us. Through the grounding, she managed to get us focused as well, until we were all in her state: tense but focused, on edge but determined.
