Bark & Bone Contribution
Of Brittle Heart and Bleeding Bone instructs a grieving parent how to summon a Bone Fae.
Here’s a snippet:

Beware anything larger or incomplete. The larger the creature, the more towering the fae, for fae expand into the space of their bounds to fullest capacity – to face a bone fae the size of a bear is not only folly, but certain death – and incomplete bones beg for the gaps to be filled by any bones, regardless of their current state entombed in living flesh. You will, unfortunately, be the closest source of raw material at hand.
