The main trio revisit Legerdomain in order to rescue Charmcaster from her own realm.


Tropes in this episode

  • All for Nothing: Charmcaster sacrifices all the souls in her home world to bring her father back. She succeeds, but her father refuses to be resurrected at the cost of many other lives and even calls his daughter worse than Addwaitya. As a result, Diagon undoes everything.
  • All There in the Script: The credits identify the being with which Charmcaster bargains as Diagon.
  • Hero Killer: Charmcaster successfully killed the heroes, something no other villain has managed.
  • Hypocritical Humor: Kevin comments that Enemy Mine situations never end well, to which Ben points out the obvious.
  • I Know Your True Name: Ledgerdomain can only be accessed when its true name is evoked, and its true name changes every few seconds.
  • Meaningless Villain Victory: Charmcaster actually succeeds in defeating the heroes and sacrifices every soul in Legerdomain to bring her father back from the dead. However, her father doesn't want to be resurrected at the cost of so many lives and chooses to return to the afterlife willingly, which returns all the souls Charmcaster sacrificed.
  • My Species Doth Protest Too Much: Ben and co are helped by a rock monster named Ignaceous, who is a scholar as opposed to his more violently destructive brethren.
  • No Body Left Behind: Ben as Chromastone is completely disintegrated by Charmcaster’s soul sucking machine.
  • Noodle Incident: Among several team ups from prior episodes, Ben mentions an Enemy Mine with Doctor Animo
  • Pet the Dog: Diagon revives Spellbinder at Charmcaster’s request, and when the revival is refused, restores the sacrificed souls to life.
  • Post-Modern Magik: Gwen combines a spell with a program on her laptop computer to predict Legerdomain's true name before it changes again. Ben is impressed and calls her a "magic hacker". It takes a few tries, but it works.
  • Sequel Episode: To Where the Magic Happens.
  • Unwanted Revival: Charmcaster's father, Spellbinder, refuses to come back to life at the price of everyone in Legerdomain being dead.
  • You Monster!: While he doesn't use these exact words, Spellbinder is clearly horrified and disgusted at his daughter Charmcaster for sacrificing all the souls in Ledgerdomain just to bring him back to life.
