MEH must be intentional and a shift in their portrayal, if Fridge/we're supposed to agree with it not this.


* NightmareFuel: One Spells R Us story involves a male babysitter who is grieving the loss of his wife. He feeds his charge, a very young girl (whom he loves like a daughter), some candy he bought from the shop. Said candy instantly and ''very'' painfully ages her up to an adult woman in a matter of minutes, causing her bones to stretch and [[{{Squick}} inducing all of the menstrual periods she would have had during those years -- at the same time]]. The ''real'' horror sets in when the man and the newly-adult girl flee to the shop: instead of trying to fix the situation, the Wizard encourages the man to take the new young woman -- whose mind hasn't caught up with her body yet -- ''as his new love interest''. One could write a book on all the horror and {{Squick}} contained in that story.
* MoralEventHorizon: Some of the [[AlternativeCharacterInterpretation darker interpretations]] of the Old Man are nothing short of pure evil. For example, in [=XoXo=]'s story "In the Belly of the Beast", a cursed artifact turns a passenger plane into a dragon. Everyone aboard [[CruelAndUnusualDeath dies horribly]]. The Old Man scoffs at their fate, without the slightest hint of remorse. (Worse, it's hinted that the reader is supposed to ''agree'' with the Wizard because the customers who bought the artifact were annoying, slightly rude tourists.)
* MyRealDaddy: While Bill Hart is the series' creator, an author going by the pen name Morpheus explored and helped shape the original formula by posting dozens of stories in the series early years and [=ElrodW=] was responsible for threading together the canon most fans are familiar with.
