We know fairies can down (but of course can't die of it); can sorcery let one be indefinitely comfortable underwater?

It eventually you get to vacuum or the little air just make it harder to fly/breath?

Could kind magic create mass? Can sorcery solidify air? Does fairy regeneration creates mass?

I was thinking in putting the place high enough to be out of the way and hard to notice, maybe make it invisible or hard to see.

Sorcery can make you comfortable underwater, more easily by producing an air bubble than by making the fairy able to breathe water but possibly either.

I am undecided on whether there is vacuum, but you stop being able to fly before that.

Fairies can only create mass in the indirect and not terribly useful sense of eventually healing from any injury even if you don't feed them, and that sort of thing. Even rapid plant-growing is just accelerating the usual process of plant growth.

You could turn an existing sky island invisible and coax it higher if you were a good enough sorcerer. This might work as far as it went for a while if nobody noticed the island go missing.

What about underground? Is there a limit to how deep you can dig? What's even down there?

I have the impression that Alicorn said that Fairyland didn't have tectonic activity and lava, but maybe I confusing with the other Fairyland *points daevinitywards*

I think you could dig as far as you liked provided you solved the usual structural problems with digging deep holes. I think it gets more boring as you go down. Actually, "a layer of interestingness between a lot of boring" sounds like a harmonic regularity in fairyland. But if you went down a hole you would bring some harmonic eddies with you and eventually something neat might happen.

Harmonic eddies?

Living things have effects on the harmonics of the space they occupy. It's boring down underground, but if you lean on a wall for a while you will affect the harmonics of that wall and then if you come back a hundred years later there might be a mushroom there or something taking whatever-mushrooms-have-that-isn't-root in the nonboringness you made.

*This gets amplified if you bring more people?
*The changes are towards "fairyland" interesting, right? Like eventually you would get a cave of mushrooms that glow and make pretty music or whatever?
*Does the same thing happens if you make a boring floating island and take it far up?
*Underground harmonics are simpler?

Yes, yes, yes, and moreso as you go farther down.
