This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

BRP elven glamour

Has anyone encountered a BRP-based system covering elven glamour (innate illusion, deception, maybe tied to the seasons or the land) either in print or fan work on the net? Something that feels mechanically ​different​ to just another spell list?

Thanks!
The past was alterable. The past never had been altered. Oceania was at war with Eastasia. Oceania had always been at war with Eastasia.

Naburimannu

Only the last of these is anywhere close to BRP or directly responsive to your question, but the rest might serve for inspiration:

  • Red Tide has a "scion" race-as-class for elf/human changelings who have a vaguely fairy-like set of powers.
  • Castles & Crusades Codex Celtorum has 15 dense pages of fairy spell-like abilities, some of which are tied to moon phase or seelie/neutral/unseelie alignments.
  • The old Ars Magica supplement "Faeries" had a good short list of broader fairy powers.
  • Fourth Edition King Arthur Pendragon is when they started codifying Celtic Magic which has some fairy ties.
