Wish-Granting
Lepitsunes primarily grant wishes by giving the wisher a boost of motivation or luck in order to achieve their goal. For more healing-based, materialistic or otherwise impossible wishes, they have a small reserve of magical power that can be used to grant them, and they recharge it by being exposed to moonlight. Likewise, lepitsunes themselves survive off of moonlight; deprive one of its sight of the moon for too long, and it will gradually weaken and die.
If a lepitsune feels an emotion very strongly while granting a wish or tries too hard, the heat generated by the stardust in their wings may singe them. They gain an energy halo while wish granting is in progress- the more experienced the lepitsune, the larger and brighter the halo, and the faster and more effective the wish-granting is. The sign of an exceptional lepitsune is a permanent halo above its head, and this may be brought about either from honed skill and power, or in rare cases, from birth.
