Charmcaster captures Gwen, and pulls off a ritual to gain ultimate power.
Tropes
- Almighty Janitor: Bezel himself is an old man raking leaves for the university. He can do whatever he wants with magic, which he's long since gotten bored of, so he prefers to entertain people with stage magic. He could have easily stopped Charmcaster at any time, but only helped Ben, Rook, Kevin, and Zedd get past her forcefield before allowing Charmcaster to turn him into a totem.
- Chekhov's Gun: The car that got banished by Charmcaster in her last appearance reappears here.
- Hoist by Her Own Petard: Trapped in Charmcaster's bag, where magic can't be used, Gwen uses her lipstick to draw a trap rune on the floor, which upon being touched by Charmcaster, will use her still-external magic to drag her inside.
- Internal Reveal: Everyone learns that Charmcaster’s voices are captives inside her bag.
- No Challenge Equals No Satisfaction: Bezel, who is renowned for being The Archmage, has grown bored with magic because it has no rules or limits. He much prefers stage magic, for being nothing but rules.
- Scaled Up: Charmcaster turns herself into a dragon for her climactic battle against Ben.
- Shout-Out: Bezel, a wizard trying to be a stage magician, resembles Mumbo Jumbo from Man of Action's Teen Titans, who was a stage magician with wizard powers.
- Sleight of Handiness: Ben and Skurd perform a sleight of hand to trick Charmcaster into thinking Ben has magic. When she checks her bag for the totem they stole, it activates Gwen's trap and pulls her into her own bag.
- Villain: Exit, Stage Left: Addwaitya teleports away after reluctantly congratulating Gwen on defeating Charmcaster. Darkstar tries running away as well, but Rook catches him before he can get away.
