Luz: Guys!

[Eda lets go of the passerby.]

Passerby: Ah!

"Why was she harassing that person?" Camila demanded.

"She was trying to figure out why they weren't getting any customers," Luz explained. "Eda's sales technique can be a little…rough around the edges sometimes."

Luz: You will not believe what's going on! [Poses under a banner.] It's a book fair! Where books come to life!

[A book jumps off one of the stands next to her.]

Book: Hello.

[Luz screams and kicks it.]

"You really should have expected that by this point," Amity pointed out.

King: A fair without rides?

Boy: Who needs rides when this [Shoves a book in King's face.] can take you anywhere?

"I love books," Luz said wistfully. "It's so cool they had them in the Demon Realm too. They have fantasy books too, but theirs take place in the Human Realm. And they are wildly, hilariously inaccurate. Great comedy value!"

King: Nyeh.

[King throws a strip of bacon on the boy's head. A winged demon flies by and picks him up. The boy screams.]

Camila let out a shriek. "I'm sure he was fine," Luz lied. She never even gave him a second thought until now.

Eda: A, ew. [Throws book on the ground.] B, I'm bored. C, I feel like pickpocketing some dork while they browse. [Walks off.]

Luz: No, wait! [To King.] Will you give it a chance? I'll let you ride in my hoodie! [Puts her hood up.]

King: Ooohoohoohoo!

"It's all about applying the right pressure point," Luz bragged. "In this case, hoodie rides."

[Cut to Luz walking through the book fair with King in her hood.]

Luz: This book fair's got everything! A zine-making workshop, meet and greets, and—what's that? [Gasps.] A writing competition!? I've always wanted to be a writer.

Luz had always held onto that dream, even since she was a small girl. Sure, she wrote Good Witch Azura fanfic. And she was very good at it! At least according to the hundreds of people who left kudos on her works. But she always dreamed of being a published writer with a devoted following of readers. Like J. K. Rowling, but without the bigotry. But every time she got in trouble for her creativity, a little bit of her will to pursue her dream evaporated.

King: Writer? What? I thought you wanted to be a witch?

Luz: Of course I wanna be a witch. But where I'm from that's kinda... impossible. So my runner up dream was to be a writer. [Pulls a picture out of her pocket.] I've had this about the author picture since I was seven years old. I know my good angle. I'm gonna enter the competition.

Camila gave a huge grin. She had almost forgotten about that picture until now. Manny had been so taken by Luz's dream and her desire to create an about the author picture that he'd rented some professional photo shoot equipment and turned the living room into a photography studio until he got the perfect shot of her. It wasn't just him humoring her. He really did believe Luz had it in her to become a famous and successful author. It warmed Camila's heart that Luz was still carrying around that thing. It was like she was carrying a piece of her father with her wherever she went.

[Bo laughs as she runs by.]

King: Ugh! What are these basement dwellers doing out in natural sunlight?

Tinella Nosa: Um! We're in line for Jon De Plume, most famous writer on the Boiling Isles, famed author of the Realm Warriors series! I'm gonna have him read my story... and marry me.

[Cut to Jon signing a book.]

Man: Jon, will you sign my child?

Jon: I'll sign anything! [Laughs evilly.]

King: Such power. Such command he holds over his minions. I must have the same! Luz the human! I too shall enter the competition.

"I really should have listened to my instincts," Luz lamented. She'd sensed it could go wrong somehow. But she'd dismissed her worries.

"Well, at least this time around, there's no mortal danger," Camila said. Really, what harm could Luz get up to writing a novel?

"Well…"

"Oh, Luz," Camila said, shaking her head in dismay.

Luz: Really? [Gasps.] We could work together! It'll be perfect! We're best friends, so we'll make the best team!

King: Team! Yes!

[Luz begins walking away.]

King: My name goes first on the cover.

-THEME SONG-

[Cut to Luz's room in the Owl House, where she puts down a large corkboard.]

Luz: Now, let's write down some ideas that we want to see in the story.

King: I can write anything?

Luz: Yeah! [Hands him notecards and a crayon.] We're brainstorming, every idea is a good idea.

"The key to successful writing is coming up with a meticulously detailed outline and then proceed to systematically smash it to powder before the might of improvisation," Luz explained. "Ideally, your finished product shouldn't resemble your outline in the slightest."

Camila shrugged. It wasn't how she'd write, but if it worked for Luz, then she was cool with it.

King: [Writing.] Mhm! Done! [Pins up paper that says "VIOLENCE".]

Luz: Aw, is that all you want to see?

[King holds up paper that says "BLOOD :)".]

"To be fair, King does have his finger on the pulse of what kids want these days in the Demon Realm," Gus pointed out.

Luz: Hmm.

[Cut to later, with the corkboard mostly full of notecards. Luz pins up three more, reading what's on them as she goes.]

Luz: Romance! Magic! Heartbreak with shimmer tears. And, the main character is, of course, ahhh, Luzura! [Holds up a card with a drawing of herself wearing a pointed hat.] I know it's kind of cliché, but what's wrong with cliché?

Luz let out a gasp, as she realized the truth. This was how Belos had found out about her true identity! She'd told who she was for the entire Isles to see. She might as well have been putting a flashing sign on herself.

She was so wrapped up in her thoughts that she didn't realize everyone was staring at her. What had happened, Amity wondered with dread, for Luz to be so against cliché now?

[She pins her character card to the board. King pins his, a stick figure drawing of himself, next to it.]

King: Nyeh! And my main character is the King... err... the Ruler of Demons! With this totally original, all-star cast, victory will be ours!

Wait a second, Hunter thought. This was starting to sound rather familiar. Could it be? No. No, it couldn't be. It was impossible.

[Luz puts a typewriter onto a desk and sits behind it.]

Luz: Now for the easy part.

[Cue montage.]

"What…is this, Luz?" Camila asked.

"Wait, other people don't do montages in their heads?" Luz asked. Everyone just stared at her.

"What is wrong with you?" Hunter demanded.

[King stares at the corkboard, now with "ACT 1", "ACT 2", and "ACT 3" on larger notecards in the middle. Luz puts a giant piece of paper over the acts of a drawing of Luzura and Ruler standing in front of an explosion. King and Luz high-five. Cut to Luz writing the following on a chalkboard: "Step 1: Find Cat. Step 2: Endanger Cat. Step 3: Shave Cat (?). Step 4: Book Complete."

"You didn't really endanger a cat, did you, mija?" Camila asked sternly.

"No, it was a metaphor," Luz explained. "For putting the characters you love in danger. And sometimes writing scenes where their guts are slowly ripped out of their bodies while their loved ones can only watch helplessly, because the Dark Lich has them paralyzed with a neurotoxin that's slowly killing them."

"I still haven't forgiven you for that fic," Amity said.

"It was properly tagged," Luz defended herself. "You have no excuse!"

King nods. Cut to the chalkboard now hanging up and reading "STORY STRUCTURE" with a circle on it, a line cutting it in half, with the numbers 1-8 on it. King gestures to it several times. Luz draws a face on the circle. They both grin. Cut to the floor littered with paper, most of them scribbled over with red. Luz is typing and King is pacing while reading. A banner above them reads "Luzura's Awakening".]

Hunter breathed a sigh of relief. It was just a coincidence, that's all.

King: "Luzura's tears fell on the frozen prince, bringing him back to life." Ehhh, it just seems kind of unrealistic.

Luz: I see what you're saying. [Stops typing.] But in your version, Ruler just destroys everything. I think a little romantic tension could help the scene.

King: Hey, there's more to life than shipping.

Camila winced. Anyone who had spent more than five minutes in Luz's presence knew that one didn't insult shipping in her earshot if they valued her life. She could go on for literal hours about the glory of Hezura or any one of a hundred different ships.

Luz: Don't you dare insult shipping in my presence!

Eda: [Offscreen.] Apprentice! Living room!

Luz: I'll be back, we'll figure this out, okay writing buddy? [Luz leaves.]

[Cut to the living room, where Eda is looking at the map.]

Luz: Hey!

[Eda closes the map.]

Luz: What's up, boss lady?

Eda: I am popping out for a few days to an undisclosed place to do undisclosed things. You're in charge.

"She found this map to the Bloom of Eternal Youth, a flower that was supposed to grant immortality," Luz explained. "She and Lilith actually worked together to find it. But it turned out to be a trap and a hoax on top of that."

"I guess you're not the only one who can get tricked, mija," Camila said. Luz sighed. Intellectually, she knew that. But still, the guilt felt like it was eating her alive sometimes.

Luz: Great!

Eda: No questions!

Luz: Okay!

Eda: I said no questions! [Closes the door.]

[Luz shrugs. Cut back to her room.]

Luz: Well, King, it's just you and me for a while. [Gasps.]

[In the minute she's been gone, King has transformed the room. Drawings of King and screaming people are on the corkboard. Luzura is now in the trash. King is typing peacefully.]

King: Hey hey Luz, great news!

Luz: What have you done?!

[Even the banner has been changed, now reading "RULER'S REACH".]

Hunter let out a loud gasp. "It was you!" he said, pointing at Luz. "You wrote Ruler's Reach."

"Well, I cowrote it," Luz said modestly. "And King stole the credit, so…"

Oh, this was going to be so embarrassing. But Hunter was just going to have to press forward. Luz deserved it. "I love Ruler's Reach! It's my favorite book!"

Luz's eyes lit up. "WHOA! I have a real life fan! And it's…hang on. You're not just saying this to mess with me, are you?"

"No, it's true!" Gus said. "His Penstagram handle is Rulerzreachf4n!"

Luz's mouth dropped open. She could not believe this. Finally, she met someone who had read and loved her published work in real life! One of her dreams was coming true! "I can't believe it! I never thought I'd ever meet anyone who'd read my work before…"

"Hey!" Amity protested. "I've read your work! I've read all your fanfics!"

"Well, yeah, batata, but you're a bit biased," Luz said gently. "Plus, you only read my work because I showed it to you." She turned to face Hunter. "So what was your favorite part?"

"Definitely the part where Ruler gave into his inner demons and unlocked the power of the Scepter of Death after Luzura was violently murdered," Hunter said. "It was an extremely satisfying conclusion to his character arc."

Luz laughed nervously. She wasn't going to mention she didn't write that part of the book.

"Oh, man, I can't believe I know the author of my favorite book," Hunter said with a dopy grin, and then the bottom dropped out of his stomach. "Oh, no, I tried to kill the author of my favorite book!"

"You did what?" Camila shouted.

Luz waved her hands frantically. "No, no, he didn't try to kill me, he tried to kill King! And he didn't really try to kill him, just threatened to."

"Luz, please stop talking now," Hunter begged her.

King: I just made a few tiny edits and this baby is humming!

Luz: [Picks up drawing.] Luzura dies?

"It was the only way it could end," Hunter argued. "Theirs was a tragic love story. It was never sustainable. The life of a ruler is a cold and lonely one. There's no room for love."

King: I know, right! What a twist!

Luz: King, I know you're trying to help, but I think you're crossing a line.

King: Yeah, into greatness. Don't you want us to win?

Luz: If this is how you want to win, maybe you should submit the story on your own. [Leaves.]

"In retrospect, maybe I shouldn't have given up on him," Luz admitted. "I mean, sure, he crossed a line later, but he was just trying to make the story the best it could be."

"And he succeeded!" Hunter said ardently.

[Cut to Luz's room. Luz is writing on the typewriter.]

King: Hey, Luz!

[Luz looks up and glares at King.]

King: Guess who won the writing competition and became a blockbuster writer superstar?

"He didn't even give me credit," Luz groused.

"But, mija, don't you see what this means?" Camila said with enthusiasm. "You achieved your dream! You're a published author! I mean, true, it wasn't under your name, and King stole everything that should have been yours. But still, it's an extremely impressive accomplishment!" Luz beamed with pride. She'd been so upset with King she hadn't thought of it that way. "And I for one would like to read this Ruler's Reach."

"Well, I don't have a copy on me," Hunter said. "But I practically have the whole thing memorized and I can give you a play by play account later."

"I would love that!" Camila said.

[He slides into the room while Luz resumes typing.]

King: You're right, it's me! Me! Do you wanna touch my scarf? A fan crocheted it out of their own hair! It smells so bad!

[Luz continues typing.]

King: My publisher is throwing a huge party for my book, Ruler's Reach. [Puts an invitation on the table.] And I, uh, I'd like for you to be there.

[Luz sweeps the invitation off the table. It hits the floor and she continues typing.]

"I think I had a right to be angry," Luz said, sounding as if she was trying to persuade herself even to her own ears. "He stole my work!"

"I think he's too young to understand how it would hurt you, Luz," Amity said. "He didn't really mean to hurt you."

King: Alright, fine! Be that way I guess.

[King leaves. Luz stops typing and looks up. She sighs.]

Typewriter: Girl, you don't need him.

"There's nothing quite like bouncing your ideas off of enchanted typewriters," Luz said.

Luz: But I don't want to be mad at him, either.

[She picks up the invitation and opens it. Inside is a golden paper that says "MEET THE AUTHOR TONIGHT ONLY BONESBOROUGH LIBRARY". A picture of King in a blue sweater is in the middle.]

[Luz enters the library, looking generally disinterested.]

King: Luz! I can't write without her!

"Now he's figuring this out," Luz muttered.

[King runs up to Luz.]

King: Luz, buddy! I'm so glad you could make it!

Luz: Hey, King, I didn't wanna be angry at your success. You're my friend. So, congratulations!

"My success!" Luz shouted. "It should have been my success!" She laughed sheepishly. "Guess I still have some issues…"

"When you get back, you can write a sequel together and share in the success," Hunter said hopefully. He needed to know what happened next to Ruler.

King: Great to hear, 'cause I really need your help with my next book!

Luz: Huh?

King: Apparently I can't write my daring works of genius without rebelling against your gushy fantasy slop!

Luz: [Blushes and angered.] Excuse me?

King: We make a great team! So, here's a pen. Writey writey, clock's a-tickin'!

Camila shook her head in dismay. She blamed Eda for this. She should have been teaching him proper manners.

[Luz takes the pen and drops it, making the gathered crowd gasp.]

Luz: I'm not writing for you after you made fun of all my ideas!

King: Hey! What the heck?

Luz: [Turns to go.] Congratulations on all your hard earned success. [Leaves.]

"Wow, you know how to roast someone good," Gus said.

[Cut to the library, where Luz is going toward the exit. She sees one of the many posters of King around the building.]

Luz: [Sighs.] They got his good angle.

"Oh, mija," Camila said gently. "One day, they'll get your good angle."

"Nope," Luz said. "I'm still gonna use that picture of me. I don't care how old I am. Papi went to all that trouble because he believed in me. And I'm not gonna let it go to waste."

"That's what I like to hear."

[A shadow falls over her. Two large reptilian-like guards are in front of her.]

Luz: Uh, can I help you?

[The guards step aside to reveal Piniet.]

"Ay, I don't like to, you know, make assumptions based on appearances, but that guy looks like bad news," Camila said nervously.

"Eh, I've gone against worse," Luz responded. Like that was supposed to make Camila feel better. "But, yeah, your instincts were right."

Piniet: Perhaps. I hear you're an aspiring writer.

"I never thought that sentence could be so menacing," Luz complained. "I'm never gonna hear it the same way ever again."

[Luz nervously laughs.]

[Luz is inside a dressing room, in a translucent purple box.]

"Yeah, so…turns out I'm not really good at close quarters fighting," Luz admitted.

Luz: [Gasps.] King!

King: Luz! [Runs up to her.]

Luz: That snappily dressed lizard trapped me in this shrinking box.

"A shrinking box!" Camila shouted. "How dare he? Oh, he is so getting the chancla." She considered her list of people to be chanclaed:

Wrath – she was going to chancla him to death if she got the chance for what he did to Vee, probably literally. Eda – maybe just a few whacks; she's gotten better, but she needs to learn that her actions have consequences. Lilith – try to brand Luz, would she?! The only thing saving her from a Wrath-style beatdown was that she thought Luz was Eda! Maybe Edric and Emira – possibly a light tap or two, but she was reserving judgment. They were just kids. Maybe they got their act together. And now this lizard dude.

[Piniet tightens his fist. The box shrinks and hits Luz in the head.]

Camila clutched her heart. How much more could she stand of seeing her daughter in danger?

Luz: [Screams and falls.] You gotta get me out!

King: [To Piniet.] What are you doing with her? Let her go!

Piniet: You wrote Ruler's Reach together. So if you don't want her crushed, you'll write together again.

"Oh, come on! Like anyone can write under those conditions!" Camila said.

"Yeah, I want a sequel to Ruler's Reach, but I don't want it that much," Hunter said.

[Luz and King both give him kicked-puppy looks.]

Piniet: Oh, don't give me that look. Some of the best books were written in literal crunch time.

"Then it's not worth it," Camila said. "That is a toxic mentality that contributes to burnout and unrealistic expectations."

[The box shrinks again.]

Luz: [Yelps.] That's a toxic mentality that contributes to burnout and unrealistic expectations! King, do something!

"Aw, you listened to me," Camila said, touched and surprised in equal measures that Luz listened to her frequent pleas to moderate her writing binges and drink some goddamn water, for the love of God, don't you understand that hydration is important, young lady?!

King: [Growls.] Set her free, now!

Piniet: Not until I get my best-seller. You'll recall you are under contract.

[Piniet pulls the contract out of his jacket. The paper glows. King floats.]

King: Ah! Nyeh!

[A hole opens in the box.]

Luz: Ah! [Backs away from the hole.]

[King is flung through the hole.]

King: Oof!

Piniet: [Drops paper and a pen into the box.] Make your deadline, or you'll never be able to hold a pen again. Just like...

[Piniet holds up Jon De Plume, now shrunk into a cube.]

Everyone gasped. "I always thought he was a hack, but he didn't deserve that," Willow said.

Jon De Plume: Help me!

King: No!

[Piniet opens a briefcase, in which are dozens of other cubed authors. They scream for help.]

"He can't possibly be allowed to get away with this!" Camila said. "I mean, didn't anyone notice when those authors disappeared?"

"It's all perfectly legal, I'm afraid," Hunter said. "I mean, obviously it's wrong, but it's not illegal. We don't really have laws protecting the safety of, well, anyone."

Author #1: Help us!

Author #2: Get us out of here!

[Piniet puts Jon De Plume into an empty slot and closes the briefcase.]

Piniet: I'll leave you to it. [Leaves.] Looking forward to your next volume! [Closes the door.]

[The box shrinks again. Luz and King gasp.]

King: We're not getting out of here until we write a book, and that'll take forever! We're cube meat!

Luz: Well, I have my story.

King: But it's all hugging and crying! I can't put my name on that.

Luz: King, that is why we are in here! Because you can't compromise! [Turns around.] All I wanted was to write a dumb story with my friend.

"Your story isn't dumb!" Hunter told her. "It's a masterpiece of unparalleled proportions!"

Luz grinned widely. "Wow, I think that's one of the nicest things anyone ever said to me." It was even better because of how turbulent their relationship was. Of course Luz's friends, mami, and girlfriend gave her praise a lot, but they were sort of obliged. But Hunter didn't really like her very much (maybe?), so she knew that when he did give praise, it was unquestionably genuine.

King: Luz, you're living your dream. You're becoming a witch. But this celebrity is as close as I'll ever get to my dream. It all went to my head, and I hurt you. I'm sorry.

Luz: Hey, [Puts a hand on King's shoulder.] being with you is one of my favorite parts of this dream.

"It really was," Luz said, her expression wistful. "If I'd just stumbled on the Isles without encountering them…I don't know what I'd have done."

"You'd have been eaten in, like, two days flat," Hunter said. "And that's me being optimistic."

"And we're back to normal."

[The box shrinks again.]

Luz: [Yelps.] I have a plan. But we need to work together this time.

King: Just tell me what to do.

"I left out the part where I explained the plan because it's more fun if you see the end result," Luz explained.

King: Hey Piniet! We're done!

[The door to the dressing room opens. The box is now so small King has to be under Luz's legs, which are bent in order to fit.]

Piniet: Faster than I expected!

King: That's the miracle of teamwork!

[A hole opens in the top of the box. Luz holds up her manuscript: Luzura and the Shimminger Tears of Love + Hate. "+ Hate" is added in red while the rest is blue. Piniet takes it and flips through part of it. The box shrinks slightly.]

"You mean we could have gotten a Ruler's Reach sequel if it weren't for that hack!" Hunter shouted. "Oh, I am so mad. If I'd known, I'd have thrown him in the Conformatorium for life!"

With the caveat that he should have received a fair trial first, that sounded more than okay to Camila.

Piniet: This is much more gushy than your last book.

King: Skip to the finale, because it is quite a payoff.

[Piniet rolls his eyes. He keeps reading. Luz and King prepare to move. Piniet gets to the last page.]

Piniet: What is this all about?

[He flips it around to reveal a light glyph drawn on the last page.]

Luz: Light spell!

[Luz reaches through the hole in the box and activates the glyph. The manuscript catches fire and turns into a blinding ball of light that rapidly disappears.]

"NO!" Hunter shouted and started crying.

"It was for the best, Hunter," Luz consoled him. "It really wasn't my best work."

Piniet: Ugh!

King: Ugh, I just realized I should've said enlightening. "Skip to the finale, you'll find it enlightening."

Luz: King! The contract!

[King's contract is hanging out of Piniet's pocket.]

King: Pretentious scarf, go!

[King uses the scarf as a lasso and pulls Piniet toward them. Luz grabs the contract and rips it in half with her teeth. The box explodes.]

Piniet: I made you a star, and this is how you repay me?

King: No, this is!

[King opens Piniet's briefcase. The cubed authors jump out and attack Piniet, screaming. Luz runs past, carrying King. They run into the two reptilian guards at the door. Piniet frees himself of the authors.]

Piniet: You are making this harder than it needs to be! And believe me, I am being very patient! [Steps on a cubed author.] But let's...

[Piniet pulls a pen from his jacket. He pops the cap off and presses a button. The nib of the pen extends into a large two headed battle axe, which he raises above his head.]

Piniet: ...cut to the finish.

"Ugh," Gus complained. "That was a terrible pun."

[The doors are burst open, sending the guards flying.]

All: [Looking at the door.] Huh?

Tinella Nosa: King! I am your biggest fan! [Runs over a guard, stands between King and Piniet.] And I fought my way back here for you... to read my story?

King: I'm sorry, my lawyer advised me not to look at unsolicited work.

"You can get into a lot of trouble by doing that," Luz explained. "If ideas from the work show up in your own work, you might get sued for plagiarism. It doesn't even have to be on purpose! Sometimes, ideas just seep into the subconscious."

Tinella Nosa: But... but... eep!

Piniet: [Takes her story.] Ugh! If I read this, will you go? So I can annihilate them in peace?

Tinella Nosa: Of course!

"Gee, thanks, Tinella," Luz complained. "I free you from unjust imprisonment, and this is how you repay me."

[Piniet tosses his battle axe, adjusts his glasses, and slowly reads. Luz and King look at each other, then one of the guards. The guard shrugs. Piniet finishes the story. He's nearly crying.]

Piniet: Oh, it's beautiful! You—You must let me publish this! I can make you a star!

Tinella Nosa: Really?

King: Wait a minute. What about King?

Piniet: Ugh! [Takes King's jacket.] You're old news. She on the other hand is the future! [Drapes King's jacket and sunglasses over Tinella Nosa.]

Author #3: Whoo-hoo!

Author #4: Freedom!

King: Hey!

Luz: King! We're good then?

Piniet: [Waves them away.] Yes, quite.

[Luz picks King up and backs out of the dressing room.]

Tinella Nosa: [Shoots off finger guns.] Pachew, pachew.

"So he got away with everything?" Camila said, absolutely disgusted.

"Sorry, mami. It happens sometimes."

[Luz and King are snoring on the couch of the Owl House until Eda opens the door.]

Eda: Hey, kids. Woof. [Drops her staff, cracks her back.] That was a rough couple days.

Luz: Yeah, I'll say.

Eda: [Sits on the couch.] Ah. Well, nothing a bit of apple blood and a good book can't mend.

Luz: Books?

King: Nope, I don't know nothing about that.

Luz: We hate books. Wow, look at the time!

Camila shook her head in dismay. "I hope this incident didn't put you off of writing, Luz. You know how much I love your work."

"Not to worry, mami! I'm still just as passionate about writing as ever! Just a lot more wary about who I collaborate with."

King: What's a book? Good night!

[Luz does a back-handspring out of the room while King just runs away.]

"Oh, Luz, I am so proud of you," Camila said. "I know it didn't work out the way you wanted it to, but I am so happy you're finally a published author! And at the young age of fourteen! It's a very impressive feat, sweetie."

"Well, thanks, mami!" Luz said. "I guess when you think of it that way, I'm pretty proud of it too."

She turned to face Hunter. "Now I am going to make us some more popcorn, and you, young man, will help me and tell me all about this Ruler's Reach. Leave no stone unturned! I want to hear every last detail."

A chance to give an unlimited infodump about one of his favorite topics and favorite non-wild magic related one? Hunter wasn't about to let this opportunity pass him by!
