1x05 Mendings, Major and Minor

big spells, small spells and tournaments, at the moment things are going well

So unfocused, disappointingly so after how great the preceding episode was. I had hopes. They were not met.

There are some great beats in this episode, but ultimately they're dragged down by the rest.

I don't like the creative decision that magic comes from pain. It could have been from love, or both. But the idea that every one of the students are bubbling with rage in each and every spell seems pretty far-fetched. In Star Wars, dark magic is formed by anger, and light magic by... well, something like mindfulness and concentration, I guess. That would have been better. Maybe something like that appears later on in the series.

Julia is like a magic junkie. Girl has no boundaries as to how far she will let herself sink to get what she wants.

“A great way to get the things you want is to be so miserable, you don’t want them anymore” :pensive:
