Recap / Ben 10 Ultimate Alien S 1 E 14 Where The Magic Happens

The team tracks Aggregor down to a mysterious door that leads to Ledgerdomain - the realm of all magic. In order to access it, Gwen has to call an unlikely person for help - Charmcaster.

---

• Another Dimension: Ledgerdomain is a dimension where all magic flows through.
• Boring Return Journey: After Aggregor gets the third piece of the Map, it teleports him back and into the regular universe.
• Cool Gate: The Door to Anywhere is a giant stone door though which one can access Ledgerdomain. In order to go through it, however, you have to know its real name.
• Downer Ending: The team once agains fails to stop Aggregor from obtaining a piece of the Map of Infinity. Not only that, but Charmcaster, who's was starting to get along with them and may have joined the side of good, stays behind so she can stabilize the dimension. The next time we see her, she's much worse.
• Enemy Mine: Charmcaster initially shrugs at the idea of helping the team, but when Gwen tells her it concers Ledgerdomain, she immediately agrees to help them.
• Evil Overlord: Addwaitya is an Geochelone Aerio (Terraspin's species), who used his natural resistance to magic as well as his prowess at it to and his control over the Alpha Rune to subjugate most of the dimension to his will.
• Forgot About His Powers: Word of God is that this is literally why Ben didn’t turn into Terraspin and use his magic immunity to counter Addwaitya’s sorcery.
• Heel–Face Revolving Door: One of first of many for Charmcaster. She intially accompanied the team for her own reasons, but she eventually began to genuinely bond with Gwen, suggesting she may join the side of good. Alas, she decides to remain on Ledgerdomain in order to stabilize it and, by the next episode, has gotten much worse.
• Human Alien: The episode retcons Charmcaster and Hex into this, as they originally lived in Ledgerdomain alongside their people until Addwaitya murdered most of them, including her father.
• Magical Land: The primary location of the episode is Ledgerdomain, a dimension where all magic in the universe is believed to flow and the actual homeworld of the sorcerous Hex and Charmcaster. It can be accessed by magically summoning the Door to Anywhere. Besides human sorcerers, the realm is home to such creatures as the Pallorfang and Scrutin, and days inside are minutes on Earth. At the series' time, it's under the tyrannical rule of Addwaitya.
• Oh, Crap!: Addwaitya's response when Ben smashes out of his mana crystal prison as Ultimate Humongousaur.
• Reptiles Are Abhorrent: Addwaitya is an evil turtle alien who has conquered Ledgerdomain and rules it with an iron fist.
• Skull for a Head: Through using magic, Addwaitya portrays himself as a Geochelone Aerio with a skull for a head. Without it, however, he appears as a regular member of his species.
