* How many adventurers died in their quest to find the Phoenix Gem? [[spoiler:It was still at the fountain, so clearly no one had managed to obtain it in the last thousand years.]] If no one was successful, [[spoiler: was Corey knowingly sending these adventurers, as well as the brothers, on a suicide mission?]]

** AWizardDidIt. Joke aside, it's entirely possible that the trap-filled dungeon was built by a wizard a thousand years ago, and also that Phoenix Gems were magical artifacts created by wizards.

** Not to mention, Ian's implied to be a shy, scholarly, relatively sheltered kid who looks like he lives in a pretty good neighbourhood/area. His reaction feels like the natural equivalent of a sheltered middle-class suburban human teenager seeing a tough, scary-looking leather-wearing biker gang for the first time.

** Pixies may normally use pixie-sized vehicles; this particular biker gang may only use larger ones because big bikes look more impressive. The pixies' ''existence'' wasn't surprising, but their ''behavior'' was.

** The spell's own wording specifies that it can only be used on a given person on ''one'' occasion. The occasion in question being the day of the original casting.

Added DiffLines:

** Possibly it was originally intended to be an ''anonymity'' spell rather than a disguise spell: something to allow the caster to pass inconspicuously through an area where they might otherwise draw unwanted attention. Not so much to trick people as just to avoid confrontations, whether with pesky fans, creditors, or folks who keep bugging the caster to perform magical favors.
