". . . enchantment, by its very nature, is a magic that is dependent upon the arousal of affect (feeling). This magic, naturally, is beneficial to both the magic wielder and the one effected by our enchantments for the enchanter experiences the ecstatic feeling and the other senses it and is moved by it, in that way sharing in the ecstasy that we feel. For otherwise, our magic is marked by anhedonia, or an inability to experience pleasure in our workings. . . . So, beloved elfae kindred ours, embrace your joy and channel it toward your magic. Let your magic excite your feelings while keeping your mind calm and steady, if not mostly silent and serene, which is to say focused, and let your affect touch the world and infect it with love, laughter and the enchantments of Elfin."
