What type of energy force causes quills to continue to migrate deeper into the body?

It is the body's response to a foreign object that is responsible. A small quill, splinter, etc would eventually get pushed out as inflammation waxes and wanes and the skin cells grow/replenish around it. If the object is too large or in too deep, the body will attempt to isolate it and wall it off
