* KickTheSonOfABitch: After Glossaryck's KickTheDog moment, it's hard to feel sympathy when Ludo burns him in a fit of rage.



* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome:
** 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.
** The members of Mewni royalty and the Magical High Commission are emotionally mature enough to roll off Glossaryck's behavior, and to do their duty to work with him. Ludo, on the other hand, has been emotionally abused throughout his entire life and feels no such obligation to deal with Glossaryck, so pulling his usual JerkAss antics just make Ludo feel hurt and angry.
** Building on that last point, Ludo is an emotionally-unstable abusive victim in possession of a powerful weapon he has limited understanding of how to use. Knowingly antagonizing and humiliating someone like that is a ''very'' bad idea, and it winds up having pretty severe repercussions for Glossaryck.
