A Crown's release floods the using Fae with the aspect of reality held in the Crown, transforming them into a primal manifestation of it.
Owynn was using his Contracts of Shadow to mimic a shinigami's abilities (similar to the D&D spells shadow conjuration and shadow evocation)), based on what he saw of Einion and James when he came across them. This is why he used the same Kido system that James uses, despite other Fae not having an equivalent.
HZ: Contract of Beauty should change name to Vainglory. Written word begins to tread on Old Man Oath's abilities.
NS: Strength is not a contract. A Fae's super-human strength comes from a Minor Contract of Stone. Similarly, almost every Fae ought to have at least an Adequate Contract of Celerity, in order to have a shunpo-equivalent.
Right, time to go and write up the page!
