   Hypothesis: Creatures of Faerie live via a nuclear fission/fusion field.   
      
   Logic: They are poisoned uniquely by the presence of matter that   
   contains no (or few) atoms that can be fused/split without loss of   
   energy.   
      
   Experiments to try:   
      
   * Do they affect the half-life of (small) samples of fissile material?   
   Tests should check for both detected decays and absolute decays.   
      
   * Might they be useful fusion catalysts?   
      
   * Could they be part of small nuclear devices, including small power   
   sources as well as low-yield explosives?
