The phases of the moon affect the strength of a light-talent fairy's magic. During full moons, their skills are most powerful. And during a new moon, their magic is at the weakest.[citation needed] Light fairies are quick-witted and literally "bright". They are perfectionists who love to be in the spotlight, being the stars of celebratory light shows in Pixie Hollow. These fairies often put on dazzling light shows and performances on special events. At these times, their glows are so brilliant that clumsy sailors out on the ocean have mistaken them for flashes of lightning over the horizon.[citation needed]
