After Ludo gains back control of his body after the events of "Starcrushed", he attempts to write his victory in the magical spellbook.
Tropes:
- Anthropomorphic Personification: Glossaryck appears to have been this to the spellbook, given that burning it burns him too.
- Continuity Nod:
- The bird and spider return with the bird wearing a taco shirt and carrying a bag of tacos. Hekapoo portaled them to a taco shop in the season 2 finale.
- The Star and Marco's Guide to Conquering Every Dimension book has a map of Mewni which shows there's a Merfolk kingdom in the sea. Ludo landed and even interacted with some merpeople.
- Curb-Stomp Battle: Ludo's "fight' to open the book hilariously consists of the object beating him up at every turn.
- Didn't See That Coming: Subverted; Glossaryck did foresee his death, and even goaded Ludo into it.
- Enmity with an Object: Ludo fights the book when it won't let him write on it. Being a magical book, it fights back.
- Exact Words: Glossaryck says that Ludo is no longer the owner of the book. That's because Toffee had claimed ownership of it.
- Face Death with Dignity: Glossaryck doesn't show much reaction to dying, though he admits he's a little upset.
- Forced Transformation: Ludo thinks Glossaryck has transformed into a pillar, but he's just talking from behind it.
- Freeze-Frame Bonus: Mina Loveberry can be seen hiding in the eyesocket of the lizard monster statue in the ancient temple.
- Foreshadowing: Mina Loveberry's cameo hiding in the ruins of the monster temple.
- The Gadfly: Glossaryck.
- While Ludo is struggling with the book, he points out that there's a spell to resolve the problem within the book itself. He then nonchalantly adds "never mind".
- He jokingly tells Ludo that he should try talking to the book, then laughs at how ridiculous Ludo looks when he does.
- Kick the Dog: After suggesting to Ludo that he talk to the book, Glossaryck laughs when Ludo spills his guts out to it.
- Killed Off for Real: Glossaryck dies just after roasting pudding perfectly.
- My God, What Have I Done?: This is Ludo's reaction when he realizes that he killed Glossaryck.
- No-Sell: Ludo attempts to use the Levitato spell on the book, but the book bounces the spell right back at him, sending him flying over the horizon.
- Running Gag: Glossaryck trying to roast pudding on a stick. He finally gets it right, just before he disappears.
- Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: A book of magic spells or not, it's still a book. So, when Ludo throws the Book of Spells into a fire in a fit of rage against Glossaryck, it burns up.
- You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: Toffee manipulates Ludo into burning the book and killing Glossaryck, knowing that the latter has no loyalties to him anymore.
