Bottled faeries act as [[item]]s on the [[Neopets]] website. They are sold at [[Neopian Magic Shop|Kauvara's Magic Shop]] and are also sometimes given out as prizes for certain [[game]]s, such as the [[Alien Aisha Vending Machine]]. If a [[Neopet]] releases a faerie from its bottle prison, the newly freed faerie will grant blessings to the Neopet that freed it. These blessings can then be used to purchase [[abilities]] at [http://www.neopets.com/dome/abilities.phtml Aethia's Ability Academy]. | ||
==History== | |||
:''Main article: [[Retired Abilities/Faerie Abilities|Retired Faerie Abilities]]'' | |||
Before the Battledome was closed for renovations on October 17, 2012, bottled faeries worked much differently than they do today. Rather than granting blessings, each bottled faerie instead directly bestowed a single ability unto the Neopet that released it. During this time, abilities were divided into six types, one for each of the six types of bottled faerie that existed at the time. The type of ability that a Neopet learned when releasing a bottled faerie depended on the type of faerie that was being released. For example, opening a ''Bottled Water Faerie'' would teach a Neopet a water faerie ability. | |||
When the revised ability system went live on February 20, 2013, all of the original faerie abilities were [[retired]] and all of the bottled faeries that existed at the time were converted into fading bottled faeries. | |||

Faeries freed from their bottles turned to stone shortly after being released. | |||
