Editing Glamour (section)

===Goblin Gunk===
Pioneered by [[Sir Turdswallow]],<ref>Toadswallow put some regular old house dust there, and makeup stuff, dirt, paint flecks, and other things Lucy didn’t recognize.<br><br>“I prefer layers. A jumbled assortment. Ten very different, capable goblins over one exceptionally strong Fae. Ten tricks, each with a small chance of working, over one with a high but imperfect chance of success.”<br><br>Lucy nodded. “This is your extension of the idea that goblins are the eighth court?”<br><br>“It’s my best attempt so far. I had to cheat. I borrowed from Guilherme. I acquired glamour from markets that don’t ask questions. I’m not all the way there yet. There are still parts I don’t understand. Maybe you could teach me as much as I can teach you now. Winter glamour is strong in its way. I won’t deny that. But let me teach you my way, before you get out of reach. Watch Bubbleyum. Then we’ll try.”<br>[...]<br>“Better. There are some who would take issue, even if we can look to a great many goblin practices and see them doing the same.”<br><br>“So you’re not the first?”<br><br>“I might be the first to take this direction with this much enthusiasm and focus. In summoning other goblins, we dig deep into the earth, tree rot, or trash, enough we can get to the guts of it. Bluntmunch does it. I’ve done it. I’ve taught you to do it. Mixed earth, if you will, visceral particles. I know many goblin practices that use stolen glamour as a component to cheat their way along, made palatable to goblins by polluting it, mixing it with dirt, lead paint chips, bodily fluids, and other things.”- [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2022/05/31 Excerpt] from [[Crossed with Silver 19.2]]</ref> <!-- 
“For the time being, don’t use any glamour of the seven courts,” Toadswallow said.
Of the seven courts.  He’d said that very carefully.

“What did Toadswallow say it was?” Lucy asked, diplomatically.

“Goblin gunk.  He said lots of fancy stuff.”

“Clever stuff,” Biscuit said, nodding.  She offered up a smile that was more tugging the corners of her mouths sideways than anything else, like she didn’t know how humans smiled.

“Din’t understand it,” Cherrypop muttered.  “But it’s glamour!  Boo!”

''I can’t tell if Cherry’s actually clued into something and didn’t catch enough of Toadswallow’s patter to buy into it, or if she circled around so far in ‘being wrong’ that she actually landed on the right answer'', Lucy thought.

It ''was'' still glamour, even if it was goblin glamour.  Ramjam had let the sled do the work, but Tatty didn’t have that.  Besides, Ramjam was closer to his regular size, while Tatty was blown up to five times her original size.

goblin gunk

He poured some of his goblin gunk into a bottle of booze, corked it, and threw it to her.  She caught it out of the air, just in front of a startled Grandfather’s face.  Her extended arm caught some of the blurring effect that had touched Anthem as he’d walked over.  The grit quieted it.
