I asked on Plurk earlier whether Glamour was a tradable item, and the answer was yes, so!
I imagine trading it would follow the same mechanisms as Virtues and Sins. But when it's defined as "the distilled essence of human sentiment" (energy sourced from emotions, and not ties to any particular emotion in and of itself), what would the actual worth of it be, relatively speaking?
In the NWoD canon, "Glamour can be used to "jumpstart" the strange enchanted objects of the fae." Would this possibly extend to celestial/demonic weapons or artifacts, that require a jumpstart? Or potentially temporarily boost their abilities?
There is a skill called Hedgespinning, that allows the Changeling to channel one point of Glamour per hour into focusing on and creating a Fae item; could this work to create Celestial/Demonic/Sithen items as well?
How would other races go about using Glamour?
How would harvesting work? Typically this would be a simple matter of just skimming off human emotions, but that's the kicker isn't it - humans are an extremely minimal presence here.
The strongest Glamour is harvested from deep-rooted or intense emotions, but harvesting from supernatural creatures also brings certain risks, such as losing oneself to a derangement (mental illness or madness) that their source has. Airdra and I discussed it briefly, and we figured that Peregrines, with their only-very-recent gain of long-term memories, would give very minimal Glamour due to the lack of strong emotional history; and perhaps Immortali would follow regular Glamour rules depending on their species. But we didn't have any ideas on what would happen from harvesting Angels, Demons or Sithen.
