It's up to you to decide where they really come from. The book says they're summoned.
Looks like it. Other people think so too.
Yup. Personal range, Sun duration, +4 for constant effect. You'll certainly want to use Muto on the physical form of the device you're enchanting, rather than Creo.
You can thus create something like:
Electrum Necklace of the Stone Guardian
MuTe 30
Created as charged items, each pendant can be laid on a boulder of size up to +3, which animates into a faerie wearing the pendant (Might 1). Removing the pendant permanently destroys the faerie.
Base 5, +1 Touch, +2 Sun, +1 Size, +4 levels Constant, 1 levels Might
(Electrum has a MuTe form bonus)
Or
Ritual the Phoenix's Rebirth (ok, it's not technically a ritual)
MuIg 49
Enchants a bonfire, which must be kept burning during the whole enchantment process, giving birth to the mythical Phoenix (Faerie Might 25). The only known lab text requires the ashes of the old Phoenix.
Base 10, +2 Sun, +4 levels Constant, +25 levels Might
Or
The Hermetic Prometheus.
MuCo 45
Animates a creature (Size+2) made of multiple human corpses stitched together (Faerie Might 6). As designed by Mary Shelley of Merinita.
Base 20, +2 Sun, +1 Size, +4 level Constant, +6 levels Might.
Now, for something weird: the Corpus guidelines say you can't turn a living person into a faerie. But what about a Bjornaer magus?
edit: fixed levels.
