So that gave me an idea, you see, to have all my characters - only in one specific story that I'm working on - to always carry mirrors in their back pockets for just such an occasion. Or else I could have the forest populated with hanging mirrors, so the elves could shave without accidentally slitting their throats. BUT WAIT: If it's an urban fantasy, I could have mirrors all over the house - tinkling, subversive mirrors turning and twisting in the air-conditioned environment, distorting the world and the characters.

Sound like a good idea?

How about a fantasy world where a spell the character casts goes awry causing them to be constantly surrounded by magic mirrors that reflect them and everyone around them? They'd be intangible, because they're magic, but still show reflections.
