Short answer: Yes.

That is extremely possible.

Great, that's what I was afraid of. Is there a safe way to take care of these things? Or get some kind of magic cast to prevent it from being as bad as it could be?

Clean up after yourself?

Wow, would never have thought of that myself.

Seriously though! Fur, feathers? Antlers, sure, but what do you do with something like that afterward?

Most of what you've listed are potent personal items that usually retain a strong degree of a being's essence and energy for varying periods of time. Where I come from, it would be an easy 100. It's possible here. Why?

It came up talking to someone about moonblessing changes. I don't know what is or isn't the same person to person, but for me, for example, I grew and shed antlers during last month's moon cycles. But with how weird things are around Moonblessed and how often weird things target us, I started wondering and worrying if that might be something to be concerned about. What about those who have bird stuff going on? Scales? Snakes and fish both shed those. Fur might not fall out in the same ways, but if we have more people like that puppet guy looking into older, forgotten magics, then using the things we kind of just... leave laying around, what can we do to guard against it?

You've put a decent amount of thought into this. I like that.

In a case like this, execution is more simply stated than practiced for the majority of people. The simplest answer is to change the form of the object so that it can neither be acquired, nor used if it is, but to do that, a person must be orderly in collecting anything that can be used as a focus for them and careful where they store it should they choose a particular day to address it instead of doing so immediately or someone can come into a wealth of you to utilize or sell to someone who can.

To change the form of the object, the easiest, most effective solution would be to cleanse it with fire and properly scatter the ashes. Thorough destruction is a must. In skilled hands, even the smallest undamaged wisp of a hair or feather can be used to achieve great effect. It isn't simply a matter of cleaning up after oneself, but proper disposal.

If you want to discuss measures to guard against things before the fact, a person skilled in such things could be employed to install wards and counter spells, but there are many factors to consider when you start getting into those sorts of hypotheticals.

Fire isn't one of my things, which is annoying... How hot of a fire is needed to reduce something like antlers to ash? Hair is... easier I guess, but what about feathers?

I don't think wards would work around me anyway, they have a tendency not to remain in place for long. Counter spells might also get complicated depending on how they work. I'm not sure what magic would react well or not with me, for example, or would work here because of what we are.

what's going on

someone messing with you, shino??

Hey Josuke!

Not right now, that's mostly been the same stuff that uh. Anyway, everyone's been caught up in before. Like the squid queen and the puppet tea guy? Last month was relaxed, snow storms were the most normal thing yet.

I was talking with someone about shedding antlers and then the weird magic people seem to be rediscovering here... it's been bothering me, wondering what else people might be able to do without us having a way to fight against it.

for a minute there i thought some wizard bastard was threatening you or something.
if you're ever in any trouble, you gotta let me know, alright?

anyway ... if you ever lose your antlers somewhere and are worried about this, crazy diamond could probably retrieve them. [ Maybe? He's never tried using his stand on moonblessing features. ]

[ he blinks, but smiles after a moment. ah... people really are good more often than anything else. ]

Same goes for you, you hear? You have my blade... or whatever people say when they're saying they'll fight for you. By you? All that stuff.

How can he do that? Murasame might be able to find things too, especially if it's part of me, but... honestly I'm not sure.

Hey. This really was a good question to ask.

[ a soft snort from him reading this, and a sigh. ]

Seems important to ask when there's no easy answer to find. I'm not even the research guy, but it's important.

I feel like sometimes this isn't considered by people here.

If you're not used to magic or shedding more than hair from your head I guess I can see why, but the normal from elsewhere isn't quite how normal is here.

It doesn't really work that way where I'm from, but judging from the replies you're getting I'm apparently the outlier.

In a group of three, sure, but none of us really know what's normal here, right?

How does it work where you're from, out of curiosity?

Well, it just sort of.... is, I guess.

I'm a malak, which means I'm an earth spirit, and can use wind artes. The only way for a person to be able to use artes like I do who isn't a malak would involve making a pact with one.

It used to be a lot more common for humans and malakhim to make pacts than it is now.

Depends on the person but I imagine so. Wouldn't it have to be someone familiar with that kind of magic? Otherwise hair is just hair.

Was the puppet guy familiar with his magic from long experience? That's not the impression I had, at least.

Hair is hair where I'm from most the time, so that's what I'd prefer to believe, but the strange magic here... I don't know if I should believe that.

This is not information I have, maybe he was or maybe he was not.

Don't believe that then, better safe than sorry. You wouldn't want to end up as a puppet, right?

With blood it's possible, but in my experience names are much more potent things to work magic with. As far as I can tell that doesn't seem to be as much of an issue in this world as it is where I'm from, but caution never hurts.

Names??

I don't know that it is so far... but maybe there is a form of magic here that also relies on names? In which case if we didn't all lie on intake we're kind of messed over.

I'm not saying for sure that such magic exists here like it does in my world, but given everything we've seen possible so far it can't be discounted.

And if it does you're right that it probably wouldn't bode well for most of us.
