Basically, the character leaves your park.

Plus side: You no longer have to worry about sending them on tasks. They will still generate magic while home, which you can collect in the main courtyard or with Merlins gathering spell.

Minus side: They don't drop any tokens. If you wish to level them up or use them to grant a wish, you have to call them back... which happens instantly.

It's very useful during a special event. For example, during the Pooh event, I sent everyone who did not generate Pooh currency or tokens home. That way, my extra characters were out of the way and I could focus on the event, and my characters still generated magic.
