With Elsewhere U, Im curious if metal glasses would affect anything, or how most strings have metal somewhere in them.Would the fae want music/art or majors, but not go anywhere near the metal? What if sometimes people get frustrated because their strings keep breaking for no good reason, because sometimes, people walk by and all of a sudden it snaps. Thisd be really amusing for bassists who are NOT USED to it, they keep getting smacked by their strings. The cost of strings can pile up over time
Not all metals are anathema to them; only iron truly hurts them and breaks spells (if you step into a fairy ring with iron on you, whatever magic makes that place a doorway of a sort will burst like a bubble and it becomes normal ground again)
And silver affects them, although to a lesser extent, and less as a repellent than a way to see them (silver nitrate burns, silver-backed mirrors, some photographic processes)
So instruments strings, which are often other metals but plated with silver, would probably increase your likelihood of seeing the Fair Folk while you were in contact with them, which in turn makes them more likely to notice you. Between this and the Fair Folkâs general fascination with music, this is probably why music majors seem to attract so much attention.
