Azul says that, as a child, his grandmother would welcome him home from school with “a whole table loaded with a variety of snacks and drinks” for him, his birthdays would be celebrated with the largest table at his mother’s restaurant stacked high with his favorite foods, and his family “was most insistent (he) cleaned (his) myriad plates.”
In a photo from Azul’s childhood, Ruggie describes Azul as “twice as wide” as other children in his class, while Grim says, “Azul, you were THIS round and fat back then!?”
Azul never explicitly says that his appearance was one of the things he was bullied for as a child, but it was possibly a factor.
The insecurities he states openly are being hopeless in both studies and athletics, and always being alone.
Azul reflects on how he did not belong with other mermaids, he was an octopus (“unlike other merfolk”) and he was an introvert who never asserted himself.
We see a flashback where mermaid children comment on child-Azul creating ink when he cries, being slow and being boring to play with. This seems to have been the catalyst in Azul becoming who he is present day: he resolves to turn his disadvantages into strengths and get revenge, saying, “I never forgot for a second the sight of those who mocked me. Those who bullied me.”
He creates his own unique magic, an ability to take the talents and strengths of others: “I’m not the same silly, lonely little octopus I used to be.”
But it seems that his pre-self-transformation past is still a delicate subject for Azul: he acquires all the yearbooks from his former classmates and photo negatives from their photographer. When he is unable to legally dispose of a class photo on display in a museum he tries to acquire it through Jack, Grim and the perfect in Book 3.
Azul explains, “I thought that if I could erase every photo of my past…I could erase my past itself.” While he says that he wants to be like the Sea Witch who “never hid her past misdeeds. She worked to restore her reputation, and earned the people’s respect that way” in Book 3, the topic seems to remain sensitive for him: he silences a Book-4 Grim who comments on child-Azul being “round.”

Jack Howl
Your camera was angled perfectly just enough to show you, your yoga mat, and the space where you usually demonstrated exercises for your chat.
“Alright guys” you said cheerfully, squatting down so you could glance at the comments scrolling up the side of your screen, “today we’re focusing on legs. We’re starting with some weighted squats, but don’t panic you can do these with body weight too.”
Your viewers sent a mix of encouragement, questions, and, of course, memes. But one comment suddenly caught fire in the chat
Chat:
Neko_: hold up… what’s in the back?? 👀
suns-out-sleeps-in: THOSE LOOK HEAVY AS HELL
tails1lord: no way she lifts those omg
jen_jen: they look really heavy!
You froze mid squat. Oh. Right. The dumbbells. The really heavy ones.
“Uh… yeah,” you said, trying to play it off. “Those are mine. I… totally lift those.”
The chat exploded.
Chat:
Jen_jen: PROVE IT
tails1lord: SHOW US
suns-out-sleeps-in: LIFT IT QUEEN 💪🔥
Neko_: bet she can’t do it 👀
You bit your lip, nervous laughter slipping out. “…Okay, fine. But don’t judge if I make weird faces doing it.”
Walking over to the corner, you crouched and wrapped your hands around the cold metal handle of one of the massive dumbbells. Deep breath. You can do this.
You pulled… And immediately felt your grip slip.
“Whoa—!”
The weight didn’t even get halfway up before it slipped completely from your hands, the momentum sending you tumbling backwards onto your mat with a very loud noise.
Before you could even reassure the chat that you were fine, you heard rapid footsteps.
“Y/N?!” Jack’s voice rang out from down the hall.
A blur of tall, broad shouldered wolf practically skidded into the room. His ears were perked, eyes sharp with concern as he crouched beside you. “Are you hurt? Did you fell? Something fell on you!?”
You sat up quickly, cheeks burning. “I’m fine, I just…slipped…”
That’s when you realized.
Jack was fully in frame. Shirt slightly rumpled from lounging, hair still messy, tail flicking behind him as he scanned you over for injuries.
Chat went feral.
Chat:
Jen_jen: WAIT WHO IS THAT
suns-out-sleeps-in: Oh my… hello big boy
Neko_: you’ve been hiding him from us???
tails1lord: Oh my gosh! Look at those muscles!!
Jack blinked, noticing the camera. “…You’re still streaming?”
You gave him a sheepish smile. “Yeah… surprise?”
His cheeks went red, but instead of bolting, he sighed and crossed his arms. “Figures you’d hurt yourself trying to show off.”
“Hey!” you protested.
He smirked faintly before helping you to your feet. “Next time you want to move something that heavy, I’ll do it for you. Those are not for you.”
“Wow, okay, strongman,” you muttered, but you didn’t miss how your chat was now spamming heart emojis and #CoupleWorkout.
Chat:
Neko_: THEY’RE SO CUTE
suns-out-sleeps-in: protectiveness level 1000
tails1lord: he totally carries her bridal style don’t lie
Jen_jen: ship confirmed 🐺💖
Jack gave the screen one last glance before shaking his head and muttering, “I’ll be in the kitchen… try not to break yourself again.”
The moment he left, you looked back at chat. “…So, uh… I guess you’ve met my boyfriend.”
The spam intensified.
You groaned. “Yeah, I’m never living this down.”
Ace Trappola
“Alright chat, we’re jumping into another round!” you chirped into your mic, fingers tapping rapidly on your keyboard as you loaded into the match. “And guess who’s joining us again? It’s everyone’s least favorite mod.”
Ace’s voice came through discord with a scoff. “Excuse you, I’m your best mod. The only one who deletes thirst comments before you see them.”
You snorted. “Okay, maybe you’re useful for that.”
Chat was already eating up the banter.
Chat:
k-m3t: ACEEEE 💀
angelbabyy111: this is why we love when he joins
kogane-twst: they flirt too much to be “just friends”
Spade_card: please stop
Neko_: i swear y’all better be dating
You ignored the last one, grinning mischievously to yourself.
The game kicked off, and the chaos began. Bullets flew, players screamed, and Ace was way too confident for someone who missed two headshots in a row.
You, on the other hand? Oh, you were on a mission. With a sniper in hand and a devilish little grin, you crept behind the in game building where Ace was camping, completely oblivious.
“Ace, where are you?” you asked sweetly. “Did you rage quit already?”
“I’m literally on fire right now. My kill streak’s insane!” he bragged.
You peeked around the corner and aimed. One clean shot. Headshot.
Ace’s character collapsed instantly.
“WHAT THE?!” he gasped.
Your chat exploded.
Chat:
k-m3t: OH SHE GOT HIM
Spade_card: sniped his ass LMAOOOO
kogane-twst: don’t let him live this down
angelbabyy111: she’s too powerful
You couldn’t help the laughter that left you. “Looks like you weren’t that on fire.”
Then Ace muttered, almost too naturally… “Ugh, babe, that was so unfair!”
Your hands froze.
Chat didn’t.
Chat:
Neko_: WAIT….
kogane-twst: did he just say…BABE???
Spade_card: stupid…
angelbabyy111: YOU TWO ARE DATING???
k-m3t: EXCUSE ME?????????
You stared at your screen, face heating up. “W-Wait, what? He didn’t say babe.”
“Yeah, I didn’t say babe,” Ace added quickly, voice an octave too high. “You guys heard it wrong.”
“Yup. Totally. Misheard. Definitely no babe here.”
You kept playing it cool until you saw one particular comment.
Chat:
Neko_: just admit it. y’all are 100% dating. the way he calls you babe and you roast him like a wife
Panic.
“Me? With him?” you said, laughing a bit too hard. “Ew! Never!”
Silence.
“Ayo! wait!!” Ace cut in, sounding wounded. “Ew?! What do you mean ew?!”
You blinked. “Ace...”
“No, no, no, don’t ‘Ace’ me! You could’ve just said no like a normal person! ‘Ew’?! That’s… traumatizing!!!”
“Ace, we were supposed to deny it!” you hissed into the mic. “Why would you react like that?! Now they know!”
“Well, excuse me for not wanting to be labeled gross!!”
“NOW they’re really gonna believe it!” you snapped. “You’re such a pain…”
“Yeah? Well, your aim is annoying!”
“I killed you once!”
“YOU CALLED ME EW!”
You sighed, rubbing your forehead. “Okay. Fine. Whatever. Yes. We’re dating. Are you happy now, chat?”
Chat:
Neko_: I KNEW IT
Y/n_card: OMG THEY’RE TOGETHER
kogane-twst: “babe” slip was REAL
angelbabyy111: ace is so dramatic i’m crying
kogane-twst: not the boyfriend getting roasted 😭
Jen_jen: this is the best day of my life
You leaned back in your chair, groaning. “Can we go back to the part where I sniped him? That was a good time.”
Ace snorted. “Nah, we’re gonna talk about how you ew’d me.”
“I’ll do it again.”
“Yeah? I didn’t hear you call me ‘ew’ when we were making out!”
You nearly choked.
Chat lost it.
Azul Ashengrotto
“Look at this one!” you grinned, carefully holding up a delicate porcelain teacup for your camera. “Isn’t it gorgeous? Late 1800s design, hand-painted gold rim… oh, the craftsmanship!”
Your room looked like a tiny museum, shelves behind you lined with old clocks, porcelain dolls, strange little trinkets, and a new velvet covered box waiting to be opened.
Chat:
waitlexist: omg that teacup is BEAUTIFUL
yuu-twisted: girl your collection is insane 👀
neurodivergent-and-mentally-ill: how much was it tho 👀👀👀
sharkarella: yes spill the damage $$$
Your smile froze. The dreaded question.
“…Oh, um,” you stalled, putting the cup gently back down. “You guys don’t really want to know that, do you?”
The chat spammed YESSSS.
You glanced nervously at your door, then leaned in close to the mic, voice dropping to a whisper. “…It was 3,200 thaumark.”
The number had barely left your lips when a voice roared from outside your room “HOW MUCH?!”
You jumped so hard your chair nearly tipped. The door flew open, and in stormed Azul, glasses slightly askew, looking like he’d just aged ten years in five seconds.
You immediately braced yourself. “Azul, I-listen, it’s not as bad as it sounds—”
“Three thousand two hundred thaumark?” he repeated, pinching the bridge of his nose. “On one item? My pearl…”
But then you held out the teacup with trembling hands. His eyes flicked to it… and suddenly softened.
“…Is that… a genuine 18th century porcelain set?” He stepped closer, reverently taking it from you to examine the detail.
You blinked. “…Yes?”
All at once, the scolding melted into awe. His lips curled into a smile as he traced the gold rim with his thumb. “The preservation… the artistry…” He sat down beside you, leaning toward the camera without even noticing. “Do you realize how rare it is to find one in this condition? This is practically a treasure!”
yuu-twisted: they’re literally soulmates what the hell
Neither of you noticed, too swept up in your little bubble. You grinned at him, sliding over the velvet box. “That’s not all. Look! I also got this pocket watch. Mid 1800s, still ticks!”
His eyes lit up like a child’s at a candy store. “You’re joking. Show me!”
And just like that, the two of you were chattering excitedly, comparing notes on rarity, craftsmanship, history. Azul was leaning right into frame, glasses catching the ring light as he carefully inspected each antique with you, occasionally smiling at how happy you were.
Chat:
sharkarella: THEY FORGOT WE EXIST 💀
yuu-twisted: he went from “HOW MUCH?!” to “omg treasure 😍”

Leona Kingscholar
The kitchen was warm, filled with the soft golden light of afternoon sun and the gentle hum of your voice as you read chat while gently rolling out cookie dough. Your sleeves were pushed up, apron dusted with flour, and the counter was a colorful spread of cookie cutters, sprinkles, and ingredients.
“Okay chat,” you smiled, holding up a lion shaped cookie cutter. “I know I said we’d go with bunnies and flowers today, but come on. Look at him. Too cute not to include.”
Chat:
aurorab-0-realis: 🦁LION COOKIE LET’S GOOOOO
ceruleantai: okay but the way she’s smiling rn... sus
naroiseyyy: lion cutter supremacy
echosofmortality: make 5 of those. ten. a whole tray.
You giggled, pressing the cutter into the dough with a satisfying squish. “I might make a whole batch of lions. Just for fun.”
You were fully focused on the cookies now, lining them up neatly on the tray, bunnies, cats, dogs, and lions all in a row. “Once these are in the oven, we’ll start on decorating. I’ve got pink icing and tiny candy bows, so we’re going full cute mode today.”
The stream was peaceful, cozy. Just you, your viewers, and cookie chaos.
Until…
Chat:
magical-regical: WAIT WHO JUST WALKED BY
swinginthinggiantbagel: HOLD ON HOLD ON HOLD ON
wokasiv: WHO WAS THAT???
m1lly69: WAS THAT A MAN???
suns-out-sleeps-in: TELL ME I’M NOT CRAZY
satsu-neko: IS THAT… IS THAT LEONA KINGSHOLAR???
echosofmortality: IS THAT THE PRINCE???
m1lly69: HE’S SHIRTLESS. I REPEAT. SHIRTLESS.
naroiseyyy: OH MY GODDDDD
You blinked. “What are you talking about? No one’s here.”
And then like a slow motion cinematic horror scene, you heard it. A low, gravelly yawn behind you.
You froze.
Then turned. And there he was.
Leona. Half-asleep. Hair a tousled mess. Eyes lidded and sharp with sleep. And yes… completely shirtless.
He was rummaging in your pantry for dried meat snacks like this was the most casual thing in the world (I mean… it was…), completely unaware that you were, in fact, live streaming in front of thousands of viewers.
You dropped the icing bag. “Leona?!”
He looked up lazily. “Mm?” His eyes flicked to you, then the setup, then your laptop screen. “You’re streaming?”
Chat:
echosofmortality: OH. MY. GOD.
jen_jen: SHE JUST SAID HIS NAME SO CASUALLY
wokasiv: SHIRTLESS. SNACK RAID. PRINCE.
Neko_: NOT HER DATING A PRINCE???
y/n_cookie_: I THOUGHT THIS WAS A COOKIE STREAM
m1lly69: BRO HE LOOKS LIKE HE JUST WOKE UP FROM A NAP AND STILL FINE ASF
ceruleantai: EXPLAIN. NOW.
You went pale. Then red. Then pale again. “Y-Yeah, I’m streaming…”
Leona blinked, still looking completely unfazed. “Thought you were done by now.”
You scrambled to block him from the camera view… too late, obviously, and tried to laugh it off. “W-Well, surprise, chat! This is Leona. My, um…”
He raised an eyebrow, leaning against the fridge with all the smugness in the world. “You gonna tell them or keep pretending?”
You hissed under your breath. “You’re not helping and you’re still shirtless, Leona!”
He smirked, sharp teeth glinting. “Yeah? You weren’t complainin’ this morning.”
Chat:
aurorab-0-realis: HOLY HELL.
jen_jen: THIS IS A FAMILY FRIENDLY BAKING STREAM 🥲
m1lly69: THIS MAN SAID "YOU WEREN'T COMPLAININ'"😭
wokasiv: WE NEED TO BREATHE
echosofmortality: SHE REALLY BANGED A PRINCE
ceruleantai: LITERALLY A LION PRINCE AND A COOKIE STREAMER
Neko_: #ROYALCOOKIECOUPLE
You covered your face with both hands, laughing hysterically now. “Okay! Yes! We’re dating! He’s my boyfriend!”
Leona gave a lazy wave toward the camera and snagged a lion shaped cookie from the tray, even though they hadn’t gone in the oven yet.
“Unbaked…” he muttered, but still eating anyway. “Tastes like dough.”
You blinked. “Because it is.”
He shrugged. “Still good.”
Chat:
suns-out-sleeps-in: EATING RAW COOKIE DOUGH LIKE A SAVAGE
naroiseyyy: I CANNOT BREATHE
jen_jen: this stream went from sweet to scandalous in 5 seconds
m1lly69: BEST. STREAM. EVER.
With your cheeks burning and laughter bubbling out of you, you turned back to the camera. “I don’t even know what to say anymore. Do you guys want to decorate cookies or… just watch my boyfriend commit snack crimes?”
Leona stretched and walked back toward the hallway, still shirtless and unbothered. “I’m goin’ back to sleep. Try not to burn the kitchen down, herbivore.”
And just like that, he was gone. You turned to the camera with the deadest stare possible. “...I’m never doing a baking stream again...”
Chat:
Neko_: YES YOU ARE
aurorab-0-realis: WEEKLY COOKIE
magical-regical: STREAM WITH LEONA PLS
ceruleantai: COOKIE & CROWN SERIES
y/n_cookie_: LION SHAPED COOKIES ONLY
m1lly69: WE’RE NEVER LETTING YOU LIVE THIS DOWN
Cater Diamond
You were practically glowing under the studio lighting, but it had less to do with the ring light and more to do with the guy sitting beside you.
Cater had his hair tied up in a casual half bun, sleeves rolled, and was currently trying to read the back of a face mask packet like it was a science test.
"Okay, okay, so this one says it's got 'infused sea minerals and blueberry extract', what even is sea mineral?"
You snorted. "How would I know? You’re the one who dragged me into this collab idea!"
Cater gasped, dramatically clutching his chest. “Dragged? Sweetie, you were texting me heart emojis the moment I said 'skincare haul stream.’"
“Exposed,” you said with a wink to the camera.
You both sat at a desk covered in half opened skincare packages, a rainbow of serums and masks, casually chatting with your audience like this was just another Wednesday (which, to be fair it was).
Chat:
aster-luna-light: another chaotic skincare stream let’s goooo
jen_jen: not Cater reading ingredients like a chef
Neko_: THE FLIRTING IS REAL
Cay_fan: just admit you’re dating already 😭😭😭
Legend_Ace: married energy for real
You both laughed as the questions started pouring in, just like always.
“Guys,” you said, pointing at Cater with a grin. “How many times do we have to tell you?”
Cater leaned in, mischief sparkling in his eyes. “I’m literally her cousin’s ex-roommate’s dog groomer.” He joked.
You cracked up. “He’s my brother from another timeline.”
“Platonic soulmates from opposite ends of the zodiac.”
“He’s the wind beneath my friendship wings.”
Chat:
Legend_Ace: bro shut UP 😭😭😭
jen_jen: NOT THE DOG GROOMER
CayxY/n: STOP LYING TO US
y/n_litlcam_: you two are literally glowing
aster-luna-light: the chemistry is suspicious
Neko_: also… are they both wearing… RINGS???
You blinked at the screen. Cater froze for half a second, then casually glanced down at his hand… where, very visibly, a golden ring shimmered on his finger.
You followed the trail of chat messages down, realization dawning… then frantically tried to adjust your camera to hide your hand.
“...Oops,” you said innocently.
“Oopsies,” Cater echoed, clearly trying not to laugh.
Chat:
CayxY/n: YOU THOUGHT WE WOULDN’T NOTICE???
jen_jen: OHHHH MY GOD
Neko_: RING RING RING RING RING
y/n_litlcam_: I KNEW IT. I KNEWWW ITTTTTT
aster-luna-light: STOP PLAYING WITH OUR HEARTS
You and Cater exchanged a glance. Then you both shrugged in sync.
“Okay, okay,” you said, holding up your hands. “You win. You caught us.”
Cater grinned and leaned toward the camera. “Surprise~ We’re together.”
“And engaged,” you added, wiggling your fingers and showing off the ring with a sheepish grin. “It’s… pretty recent.”
Cater practically sparkled as he showed off his own ring. “We were gonna wait to tell you guys, but someone left their ring in full view of a very smart chat.”
Chat:
Blueber_Deuce: I’M SOBBING
Neko_: THIS IS CANON NOW
aster-luna-light: BEST PLOT TWIST OF THE YEAR
Jen_jen: you two are SO CUTE
Cay_fan: ENGAGED??????
Legend_Ace: when’s the wedding stream lmao
You smiled softly at the screen, leaning into Cater’s shoulder. “You guys have honestly been with us since the beginning, so... thanks for always being there, even when we were total trolls.”
Cater wrapped an arm around you and beamed at the camera. “We promise to keep bringing the chaos, just now with matching rings.”
And as chat continued to spam emotes and celebration messages, you rested your head on Cater’s shoulder, both of you laughing as you opened the next skincare pack.
Maybe the masks were hydrating, but honestly? Nothing made you glow quite like being in love, with your best friend, your partner in crime, your now official fiancé.
Vil Schoenheit
The camera was perfectly angled, your ring light softly glowing, illuminating the elegant satin dress draped over your figure. You gave a little twirl for the camera as your chat erupted with emotes and excited comments.
“Okay, okay, so this is the dress I picked for the premiere,” you grinned, brushing your fingers down the fabric. “I wanted something simple but still elegant, you know? Because I’m gonna be in the same room as, like, actual movie stars and celebrities. Insane!”
You held up a palette. “I’m thinking champagne shimmer on the lids, nude gloss, nothing too bold. The goal is: I belong here, not I tried too hard, right?”
Chat:
aurorab-0-realis: THE DRESS IS GORGEOUS OMG
swagdreamcat: slay queen attending events with the stars
babebleu: YOU’RE GONNA LOOK SO GOOD
naroiseyyy: I’d cry if I saw you on a red carpet
Neko_: wait what’s that behind you???
You blinked, glancing at the camera. “Huh?”
Chat:
Neko_: THAT OUTFIT IN THE BACK
sugarxrt: HELLOOO WHO OWNS THAT???
swinginthinggiantbagel: that jacket is like celebrity level glam
juiceboxofdepression: IS THAT YOUR BOYFRIEND’S CLOTHES???
You stiffened slightly. The outfit hanging innocently in the background, betraying all your well laid secrecy. Sleek, structured, with a cascade of embroidered silver threading on a deep violet coat. It looked like something that belonged on a runway or in a glass case.
You laughed nervously. “Oh, that? Pfft. That’s, um, just my friend’s. He left it here. We were… doing a fashion collab. Photoshoot stuff.”
Smooth, right?
You casually adjusted your camera to crop the outfit out of frame. “Anyway… focus, people. This is my night to shine!”
The next night at the movie premiere
Paparazzi flashes. Red carpet chatter. Every major name from the fashion and film world seemed to be there. You posed for a few quick photos on the carpet, exchanged greetings, and slipped into the venue trying to stay chill.
You were just one influencer in a sea of elites.
But the internet? Noticed something.
And not just something…. someone.
Vil Schoenheit, actor, model, icon of elegance and perfection, arrived fashionably late, head held high, wearing a breathtaking violet ensemble embroidered with silver thread.
The exact. Same. Outfit. From your stream.
SparkTok. Magiccam. All of it imploded in minutes. And the comment sections blows up
“Is Vil dating that streamer???”
“NO BECAUSE THAT JACKET WAS IN HER ROOM”
“caught. red-handed. in couture.”
The next day
You stared into the camera with a painfully forced smile.
“Hi, everyone,” you said sweetly. “Sooo, wasn’t that event just incredible? The venue was gorgeous. I didn’t get to talk to every celebrity, but, you know, just breathing the same air as them? Like, wow. Life goals, right?”
Chat:
babebleu: SO WE’RE JUST GONNA PRETEND THAT HE WASN’T IN YOUR HOUSE?!?
naroiseyyy: SAME JACKET BABE. SAME. JACKET.
sugarxrt: don’t act dumb we saw EVERYTHING!
swinginthinggiantbagel: YOU. ARE. DATING. VIL.
swagdreamcat: WE NEED A STREAMER X CELEB POWER COUPLE CONFIRMATION
You widened your eyes with fake innocence. “Dating? Me? Vil? Oh come on, chat, be serious. That outfit? Total coincidence. Designers copy each other all the time.”
You waved a hand dramatically. “Besides, I’d never hide something like that from you. I’m a very transparent person, remember?”
Just as you finally leaned back, satisfied with your convincing performance (which clearly didn’t convince anyone), you heard it.
Click. Clack. Click.
Footsteps.
Then the soft sound of keys.And a familiar, unmistakably smooth voice…
“I’m home, sweet potato.”
Your entire body tensed. Your soul left your body. Chat exploded.
Chat:
Neko_: AHAHAHAHAAH
Jen_jen: SWEET. POTATO.
aurorab-0-realis: IT’S HIM. IT’S HIM. IT’S HIM.
Bex_y: YOU LYING WOMAN
Vil_fan: SHE’S DEAD SHE’S GONE
sugarxrt: SHUTTING DOWN IN 3… 2…
babebleu: VIL CONFIRMED OMG

Quick world lore question; does the game ever specify what kind of potions/poisons exist in twst? Like, since it's technically a fantasy world, would things like health/stamina potions like you'd see in rpg's exist? Or would it be closer to reality, like home remedies and basic pharmaceutical stuff?
I'm only an EN player and I havent read all the pomfiore student's vignette's so if they answer this there then im sorry for the bother ; ;
Potions aren't talked about in the only Pomefiore students' vignettes! (In fact, if we're talking just strictly Labwear vignettes... Vil and Rook's don't really focus on potions at all; only Epel's sort of does.) There isn't actually a ton of lore about potions, and in the times when they do become relevant, the writing tends to focus more on the ingredients and/or the preparation process rather than what kind of potion would be produced. For example, the entire Labwear series of vignettes frequently brings up rare or dangerous plants that require the application of magic in order to safely harvest, such as the mandrake and the lantern blossom.
I wasn't able to check all vignettes (since that would be like... what, probably a few hundred at this point? If not that, then at least over 100), but there's definitely mentions of potions with various effects. From all lab vignettes alone and combing through the main story, here's what I could glean:
transformation/transmutation potions (prologue, book 2, Beans Day, book 6, etc; this is probably the most often mentioned type of potion)
voice-changing potions (Leona Labwear vignette)
color-changing potions (Epel Labwear voice line)
plant growth potions (Epel Labwear voice line)
sleeping potions (Silver Labwear vignette)
awakening potions (Silver Labwear vignette)
magic enhancing potions (book 2)
breathing underwater potions (book 3)
a potion that changes one part of your body to that of an animal's (book 3)
itch-relief potion (Lost in the Book with Stitch)
potion that heals burns instantly (Jamil Labwear vignette)
painkiller potion (book 5)
hair-lengthening potion (Wish Lantern)
potion that cures all throat and tongue diseases (Jade Bloom Broom vignette)
shrinking (for 30 seconds, there is also a normal variant) potion (Beans Day, Big Little Adventure)
body enlargening potion (Big Little Adventure)
mouse repellant potion (Big Little Adventure)
On the subject of poisons, no specific kinds are mentioned as far as I'm aware. There's a Poison Refining class (Cater Labwear vignettes), but we don't really get specifics. When poisons are talked about, it's usually in reference to the Fairest Queen or the Pomefiore dorm leader being skilled in making potent poisons, or it's Kalim talking about the many attempts on his life and unnamed poison antidotes.
There may be more mentioned in other places, but at this time I don't have the capacity to check every single event and vignette. If you know of any more that aren’t listed here, please let me know and I can update the list!!
It should also be noted that "potions" can also be used for other purposes. This includes creating special effects for movies (mentioned in Vil's Labwear vignettes) and enhancing the effects of skincare (book 6, Azul Ceremonial Robes, etc.).
You'll notice that the effects of these potions can also be achieved via regular spellcasting. (In fact, we see Adeuce practicing color changing magic in Floyd's Labwear vignettes + Vil using color changing magic to help himself hide from paparazzi, etc., Jack's/Malleus's/Azul's UMs also allow them to do things without the help of potions.) Because of this, I believe that potions are meant to be an alternative way of spellcasting without actually needing to use magic. This makes already prepared potions usable by mages who don't want to expend energy/build blot as well as by NON-MAGES.
Within the world of TWST, there is an occupation known as the “medical mage”, who appear to combine magic and medicine into their practice. Furthermore, what is called “Potionology” in EN is written as 魔法薬学 (literally, "magic pharmaceuticals") in JP, implying that there is, in fact, an intersection between magic and medicine. This is similar to how "technomancy" is described to be the cross between magic and technology.
In terms of a "healing potion", there are instances which show that a magic potion may heal or at least speed up the body's natural healing process. For example, in 7-68 of the main story, Baur gives Lilia something to drink to help him with the dire blow he just took. It doesn't appear to restore him to full health though, as Lilia states he still needs rest afterward.
In EN, they use the term "potion" but in JP they use "薬" (kusuri), which is "medicine". Baur qualifies the character with "魔法" (maho), which is "magic", so the term he's using is "magic medicine". This is probably the closest thing to a "healing" potion that we know of in the TWST lore.
So technically, yes, TWST has "healing potions". I wouldn’t say there is one blanket cure-all potion though; based on what we know of potionology and how it’s very similar to irl chemistry classes, we can assume that there are generalized “healing potions” but that there must also be far more specialized and targeted ones, similar to medicine irl or non-enchanted or non-magic infused medicine. This is supported by Riddle mentioning a potion that instantaneously heals burns, implying that there is no “cure-all”.
I would imagine that, like transformation potions, “healing potions” would have to be highly regulated since they’re basically a drug 💀 Riddle even mentions licensed potion pharmacists that formulate potions, as those who consume them may undergo physiological changes. (There would probably be OTC types too, given proper governmental approval!)
Magical potions can only be brewed by licensed professionals or under the supervision of a licensed professional like Crewel. Some potions are ineffective if not brewed by the person who intends to drink it, while other potions require infusions of magic while harvesting the ingredient or preparing the potion in its cauldron.
Apparently sweets may also be infused with magical properties. One example is the Leaping Macaron, which temporarily increases concentration.
Ahoy!Hoy! How are you today, Ms Raven? I hope you're well and all is well.
Out of curiosity, Which of the twst boys have their unique magic and what/ how do their unique magic work?
The UM names, chants, effects, and restrictions we know of so far are below the cut. Please note: JP uses the term “unique magic” and EN uses the term “signature spell”; I will be using the abbreviation “UM” throughout this post to refer to it.
Note that some incantations are taken directly from the official localization; others come from fan translations that I happen to like or prefer over the official ones, which I will indicate with "***".
Please also know that we don’t know the same amount of information about each UM nor their effects or limitations. I’ve done my best to compile what information we do know for certain though. I’ll update this post as more information comes out!!
***Beware of spoilers, as this post has information from TWST JP!!***
Riddle
"Off with Your Head" collars a target and seals their magic away, preventing them from spellcasting.
The collar cannot be removed by any means unless Riddle himself chooses to do so.
It can be used on multiple targets at once.
It does not work on Ortho (not registered by the magic as something organic) or Chenya (no neck to collar).

First use of UM: prologue-3 of the main story
First instance of incantation: Episode of Heartslabyul manga chapter 1
Trey
In JP, Trey’s UM is called “Doodle Suit”. In EN, it’s called “Paint the Roses”, which likely derives from how the UM is written literally as “(Let’s) Paint the Roses”.
His UM allows Trey to temporarily override or “paint over” (instantly write over or complete someone else’s magic construction formula) a targeted aspect of something or someone else, usually the senses. For example, he can rewrite taste as well as rewrite “other people’s magic” as “his magic”.
Trey says he can write over colors, smells, and tastes.
“White to red, and red to white. Paint the Roses/Doodle Suit!” (TWST EN official light novel localization)
First use of UM: 1-14 of the main story
First instance of incantation: Twisted Wonderland Novelization Volume 1
Cater
Cater’s UM is “Split Card”, which allows him to create clones of himself. The clones can act independently, but the more clones Cater creates at once, the more strain is placed on him.
In the manga, the clones are shown to revert to playing cards when they’re no longer needed or damage.
Cater could only make one clone at first.
When using Split Card, the clones' magic is weaker than the original Cater. The original Cater's magic is also weakened, since he has to expend magic to manipulate the clones. To use his UM is like using 2-3 spells at once, so it easily strains him.
It takes a powerful imagination to create convincing clones.

First use of UM: prologue-3 of the main story
First instance of incantation: Episode of Heartslabyul manga chapter 7 and/or P.E. Uniform vignette
Ace
Ace's UM, "Joker Snatch", manifests in book 7, in Riddle's dream. In EN. the UM is “Joker’s Wild”.
It seems to allow the user to swap a spell with his target. He is then able to use the target's UM or a spell.
If he doesn’t know what magic the other person is using, he cannot perform the trade.
If the magic of his target is not yet “fully constructed”, then he also cannot trade. However, Trey says this is something Ace can overcome with practice. Ace could also add what is missing of the magic construction formula himself at the swapping stage.
Depending on the magic, Ace may not be able to perfectly replicate it. For example, Ace cannot use UMs that involve changing form or becoming a different material. (Jack can become a full wolf because of his ancestry, but Ace just got… hairy. Sebek’s UM requires intense training snd physical prowess with withstand the aftereffects, which Ace lacks.
Ace describes using someone else’s UM as very difficult. Stealing magic and using it masterfully is like performing a magic trick you don’t know the secret to, and being allowed no time to practice it. Azul’s contract is different because there is consent involved.
"Your trump card’s mind now! Joker’s Wild…!" (TWST EN official localization)
***“I’ll take your best/most precious treasure. Joker Snatch…!”*** (fan translation)
First use of UM: 7-290 of the main story
First instance of incantation: 7-290 of the main story
Deuce
His UM first manifests in book 5; in JP, it goes by the name “Bet the Limit”, whereas in EN, it’s “Double Down”, both of which are betting terms.
Bet the Limit allows the caster, Deuce, to send back all the damage he has taken at double the power.
"It's payback time! Get a load of this! Bet the Limit/Double Down!" (TWST EN official localization)
***“I’ll make you pay for that! Grit your teeth and take it! Bet the Limit!”*** (by Mystery Shop TLs; some creative liberties taken)
When Azul uses Deuce's UM in Glorious Masquerade, the chant is: "... It's time to pay up! You're in for a world of hurt! Double Down!" (TWST EN official localization)
First use of UM: 5-45 of the main story
First instance of incantation: 5-64 of the main story
Leona
“King’s Roar” turns anything Leona commands into sand. It also seems to induce a dry environment. The UM is called “The King’s Roar” in EN.
According to in-game dialogue, anything Leona touches after casting King's Roar turns to sand. Due to the limitations of the visual novel style of the game, it's unclear whether or not Leona's spell requires physically touching something. If we reference other official materials (such as the animated trailer) it doesn't look to be a hard requirement.
He can control the sand he creates.
Leona's UM has the capability to kill (since it has an effect on even living beings); this terrible power is part of the reason why he was gossiped about and feared by the palace servants (seen in his post-OB flashback).
The light novel implies that Leona was "born" with this magic, rather than having developed it.
"I am the one who hungers. I am the one who thirsts. I am the one that robs you of your future. Kneel before me! King’s Roar!" (TWST EN official localization)

First use of UM: 2-25 of the main story
First instance of incantation: Leona Dorm Uniform vignettes (part 3)
Ruggie
“Laugh with Me” lets Ruggie control the movements of other people by forcing them to copy his own body.
The more people he's controlling, the more difficult it is for him. (It's possible to take magic-enhancing potions to increase the number of people he can control at once, seemingly without negative detriment.)

First use of UM: 2-2 of the main story
First instance of incantation: Episode of Savanaclaw manga volume 2 (I think chapter 7)
Jack
"Unleash Beast" gives Jack the power to turn into a large, powerful wolf form without the help of a transformation potion or other outside means. In EN, it has become "Unleash the Beast" to comply with English grammatical rules.
His UM is not actually transformation, but avatism, which is reverting to an ancestral form.
Jack’s maternal grandma had a similar UM; Jack was watched her transform and was eventually able to shift himself.
In his wolf form, Jack has heightened strength, speed, etc.
He is still able to speak in wolf form.
Jack had to train himself to be able to stay in his wolf form for long periods of time.
***"Faster, sharper, stronger! Unleash Beast!"*** (TWST EN official localization)
First use of UM: 2-25 of the main story
First instance of incantation: light novel volume 2 (in game, 7-218)
Azul
"It's a Deal" grants Azul the ability to confiscate an agreed-upon ability or spell of his client; Azul is then able to use these abilities or spells for himself.
If the client is not able to fulfill their end of the contract or breaches its terms, the client is forced to comply with Azul's every command (via the anemone they'd sprout on their head).
The agreement is valid as long as the golden contract which seals the agreement is left intact; however, the contracts are fragile like real paper. For this reason, Azul electrifies them with magic in order to create the false impression that the contracts are indestructible.
The contracts and consent allow Azul to use UMs he takes very easily.
Azul is also able to take abilities without consent or without a contract. This method causes much more rapid blot accumulation, as normally the contracts help limit this.
He destroys/rips the contracts to return the ability he took.
He indicates that he "worked on" his UM, whatever the heck that means. It implies he trained or practiced using it to get better st it or to better understand its limits.

First use of UM: book 3 of the main story, but he's been using it long before NRC
First instance of incantation: 5-5 of Glorious Masquerade
Jade
“Shock the Heart” forces a target to speak only the truth. It requires the target to look into Jade’s left eye in order to work.
This UM can only be used once per person and fails if casted on someone who is very alert, cautious, or are already aware of its effect. This is why Jade intentionally keeps his UM secret.
Shock the Heart is not all-powerful or absolute; in cases of strong loyalty, a target may not divulge the truths Jade wants to hear. For example, Kalim, who was very easy to initially trick, trusts Jamil so deeply that he resists Jade’s demands to tell him who in Scarabia has a mind-controlling UM.
Jade's UM does not work on those with stronger magic than him.
Jade states that a target's psychological state influences the effectiveness of his UM. Therefore, it is more likely to work if his target is distressed or put under pressure. This robs them of the capacity for rational thought.
"Don’t be afraid. I want to help you. Shock the Heart." (TWST EN official localization)
First use of UM: 3-1 of the main story
First instance of incantation: 4-25 of the main story
Floyd
“Bind the Heart” allows Floyd to redirect magical attacks, thereby rendering him unaffected by them.
His UM is highly dependent on his mood; if Floyd isn’t feeling up to it, then the spell won’t work.
***“It was just gettin’ good, but what if I butt in?”*** (by MysteryShopTLs!)
"I think I'll ruin the moment. Bind the Heart". (TWST EN official localization)
First use of UM: 3-18 of the main story
First instance of incantation: 7-187 of the main story
Kalim
“Oasis Maker” summons a large amount of (fresh, not salt) water in exchange for only a (relatively) small amount of magical power.
Any additional effects of the water (if any) are not specifically stated; other characters just remark that the water is tasty and at a nice temperature.
Kalim says he doesn’t think his UM is all that useful, especially since the development of waterways in his home country has made it much easier to access potable water.
"Respite in the scalding sands, a neverending party. Dance! Sing! Oasis Maker!" (TWST EN official localization)
First use of UM: 4-14 of the main story
First instance of incantation: 4-14 of the main story
Jamil
His UM is known as “Snake Whisper” in JP and “Snake Charmer” in English (which is likely taken from the way “Snake Whisper” is literally written as “Snake Charmer” in the original JP).
This spell lets Jamil hypnotize people and make them follow his commands. His targets must make eye contact for him in order for Snake Whisper to work.
Jamil’s UM does not work on animals, since he cannot communicate with them.
His UM cannot compel someone to do something they absolutely would not do.
The more a target resists Jamil’s UM, the more target will hurt until they finally succumb to the spell.
Long-term use and/or controlling multiple people at once can cause more rapid blot accumulation.
Mind control or manipulation magic like Jamil’s is harder to master.
"The one you behold is your master. When I ask you a question, you will answer. When I give you a command, you will assent. Snake Whisper." (TWST EN official localization)
***"The one you see reflected in your eyes is your master. Answer when I ask. Bow when I command. Snake Whisper."*** (by Mystery Shop TLs)
First use of UM: book 4-6 of the main story, but Jamil has been mind-controlling Kalim before this instance
First instance of incantation: 4-30 of the main story
Vil
"Fairest One of All" lets Vil curse any item he touches and to set the conditions to break that curse. These conditions are immovable and, once set, not even Vil can lift the curse.
In Twst, a “curse” is based on negative intent, so it may be possible (NOT confirmed) that Vil’s UM fails unless there is negative intent behind it?
"I lose naught and fear naught. This shining crown was made for me. Fairest One of All." (Note: Vil denotes the conditions for the curse after the chant.) (TWST EN official localization)
First use of UM: 5-32 of the main story
First instance of incantation: 6-55 of the main story
Rook
In EN, Rook's UM is "Arrow Afar". The original name for JP is "I See You". This is a small, slight (and therefore hard to notice or gauge as dangerous) spell that is cast upon targets. He can then pinpoint their exact location, regardless of distance.
If the tagged item or person has entered a zone which blocks off magic, then Rook cannot track their location.
"Come, see if you can flee from me. I See You/Arrow Afar." (TWST EN official localization)
First use of UM: 6-25 of the main story (for tracking); the tagging is actually done earlier in the book
First instance of incantation: 6-25 of the main story
Epel
In JP, Epel's UM is "Sleep Kiss". In EN, it was changed to "Crimson Slumber". This lets Epel conjure enchanted glass coffins to contain people. Once inside, his targets fall into a deep sleep. Epel describes his spell as being able to “stop the activity” of people inside the coffin.
The coffins can be used as powerful barriers to protect others. It may also help in delaying or slowing the effects of a curse if a vicim is placed inside one of Epel’s coffin.
Epel manifests his UM in book 6; Rook helps guide him in using it.
He claims to only have a 70-80% success rate in casting his UM.
"Your eyes will close, your breath will still. Sleep Kiss/Crimson Slumber." (TWST EN official localization)
First use of UM: 6-58 of the main story
First instance of incantation: 6-58 of the main story
Idia
"Gate to Underworld" allows Idia to open and close the gateway to the "Underworld"/Tartarus which is house in STYX HQ. It is written in EN as "Gate to the Underworld". The Underworld holds many dangerous Phantoms which the facility researches.
It is implied that Idia’s UM is hereditary to the Shroud family.
"Game, set, match. Gate to (the) Underworld." (TWST EN official localization)
First use of UM: 6-68 of the main story, though technically Idia may have used it in 6-54 to let OG!Ortho out of Tartarus (we don’t get to see it explicitly being used).
First instance of incantation: 6-68 of the main story
Ortho
No information available yet; Ortho has stated that he cannot use magic, so it’s unlikely that he can have a UM at all.
UPDATE: Ortho confirms in book 7 he does not have a UM and cannot develop one. However, what makes him "unique" is his robotic nature; he is able to transfer his consciousness to new vessels (first occurrence of this is 7-46).
Malleus
“Fae of Maleficence” summons thorns which causes all living beings in its area of effect to fall into a deep slumber. (Ortho speculates that people, if left in this state, will have their bodies deteriorate.) In EN, the name was changed to “Fae Maleficence”.
His barrier grants him absolute control of whatever is contained inside of the space the thorns preoccupy. This includes stopping time and space within the area. Previously, Malleus was also seen stopping time in the event Endless Halloween Night.
It is possible for Malleus to manipulate the sleepers’ dreams and to glimpse into them.
The dreams can run by themselves, pulling reference information from each individual dreamer's memories and desires. If the dreamer tries to wake up, the dream will do everything in its power to keep the dreamer asleep.
It may be difficult for Malleus to enter one’s dream if the dream takes place in a period where he does not exist (such as not yet being born out of his egg) or if he does not understand certain concepts (like technology). This is because magic requires imagination, and it is hard for Malleus to imagine particular scenarios.
"Spinning wheel of fate, spin the threads of calamity. I, the Lord of Malevolence, offer this blessing. Fae Maleficence." (TWST EN official localization)

First use of UM: 7-37 of the main story
First instance of incantation: 7-37 of the main story
Lilia
"Far Cry Cradle" allows Lilia to view the memories associated with an object by touching it.
Lilia implies if he mastered the spell, he can filter out the information he wishes to see.
Confusingly, he also seems to be able to see the memories associated with locations, as he does this with Castle Wildrose. Furthermore, his UM is seemingly able to summon memories from multiple parties at multiple points in time, if the location is shared. This might not be just Lilia's magic by itself though; the story implies Malleus may have boosted Far Cry Cradle.
It’s not clear if only Lilia can see his visions or if he can also project them outward for everyone else to see too.
"As fast as the days pass by, take me there in the blink of an eye. Far Cry Cradle." (TWST EN official localization)

First instance of incantation: 7-81 of the main story
Silver
Bear with me, Silver's UM has like a million and one parts to it...
"Meet in a Dream" essentially allows Silver to hop between peoples’ dream worlds. It can only be used when he himself is asleep and when he is aware he is dreaming.
Silver does not experience narcolepsy while he is within a dream.
“Dreamways” are transitional places between dreams. These dreamways look like a softly colored sky with birds flying through them. When he uses his UM, he is shot flying through a dreamway and roughly lands in another dream.
Silver cannot control whose dream he goes to, although he has noted that it tends to be people whom he has a strong bond with, such as Lilia or Sebek. It's not clear how he is able to walk in Mickey's dream, as Silver doesn't seem to be familiar with him.
The dreamer is indicated by a shining white bird that flies around them. Silver must stay close to the dreamer or else he will risk falling deeper into sleep.
The dream indicator (the shining bird) can mistake magical copies of the dreamer as the dreamer themselves. (This occurs with Cater; Silver’s UM mistakes a clone for the true Cater.)
He can only leave the dream when the dreamer wakes up (thus dissolving the dream world) or if he uses his UM to hop into another dream.
The dreamer can be woken by a large shock, whether physical or emotional.
Silver says his UM does not take a lot of magical energy to use.
"Those I've met and will someday... Meet in a Dream." (TWST EN official localization)

Sebek
"Living Bolt" turns Sebek’s entire body into lightning. He can use that magic to attack and to travel very quickly.
However, the spell will damage his body with use.
Sebek reports developing this UM when Silver enrolled at NRC and when Sebek was training by himself. He wanted to be able to rush to Malleus’s side at a moment’s notice
Sebek says this is the first time he's using his UM and that he hasn't fully mastered it yet. He had not intended to use it until he has mastered it.

First instance of incantation: 7-84 of the main story
Che’nya
"Not All My Head" allows him to turn himself invisible, whether it is all of him or everything but his head.
Che'nya appears to use his UM to sneak onto NRC campus and to steal food.
While using his UM, his body actually vanishes from existence; you cannot grab his vanished away body parts. This makes it impossible for Riddle's UM to collar Che'nya and easy for Che'nya to dodge attacks.
“Most everyone’s mad here. You might’ve already noticed I’m not all there. Not All My Head!” (creative liberties taken by me version)
“Everybody's weird here. You've noticed that already, haven't you?” Not All My Head!" (more literal version)
First use of UM: 1-18 of the main story

Rollo
“Dark Fire” envelops Rollo’s entire body in fire. He can manipulate this fire as he likes, and the flames grow more powerful the more negative feelings there are present.
"Crimson lotus flames, burn my body and guide me. Darkfire!" (TWST EN official localization)

First use of UM: 5-5 of Glorious Masquerade
First instance of incantation: 5-5 of Glorious Masquerade
Fellow
“Life is Fun” makes a target more optimistic. They are then more susceptible to being manipulated by Fellow.
This UM is notable as the only one so far with an incantation spoken in English instead of in Japanese.
The spell has no effect on people who are already very optimistic like Kalim. It also doesn’t work if Fellow tries convincing the target to do something they would never considering doing “from the bottom of their heart”.
The spell doesn’t work on heavily guarded people or people that recently underwent a traumatic event.
Life is Fun doesn’t cost a lot of magic, so it is difficult to detect. It can be used multiple times and accumulates very little blot.
"Come on, take it easy! Life is Fun!" (TWST EN official localization)
***”Come on to the theatre! Life is Fun!”*** (by curekibouka!)
First use of UM: 5-6 of Stage in Playful Land, but technically we’ve been seeing him cast it as early as chapter 1 of the event
First instance of incantation: 5-6 of Stage in Playful Land
Skully
"Scary Night" allows Skully to turn targets (whether objects or people) into pumpkins.
He is still developing his UM, so he cannot use it often. This is something Skully is a little embarrassed about; he still needs to work on it, especially since appearance-changing magic is hard to master.
While pumpkin’d, the targets can still speak but cannot move or use magic.
He can turn people back to normal by releasing the spell, or whenever he runs out of energy to maintain the spell.
Skully masters his UM during his fight with Sebek (out of desperation + his love for Halloween).
Leona suggests that Skully’s magic may not work on a mage with a lot of mana.

"Switch the Doom" swaps the magic that is most important to a mage (unique magic); his own unique magic can be caught in this random shuffle too.
He can easily use others’ UMs, despite this being a difficult feat.
In order for Swing to recast his UM, he has to basically return the magic and reshuffle it.

Hi! Not a request but I have a question, do you know how the magic in Twisted Wonderland works?? I'm sorry, I don't know who else to ask about this 😅😅
I’m not sure if I totally understand what it is you’re asking since there’s a lot of directions we could go in for “how magic in TWST works” 😅 but I’ll quickly summarize what I can recall in general:
According to Lilia, magic was originally a miracle born from a strong desire in one’s heart. If your desire is strong enough, you could theoretically overpower someone else’s magic.
Magic has been around since ancient times and science advanced to become closer to magic.
Lighters were developed to imitate fire magic, and the airplane was inspired by flying on brooms.
You must be born with the aptitude for magic. However, even if your parents or your grandparents were able to use magic, it does not guarantee that you will as well. We see many examples of this in TWST's main cast; plenty of the boys have family members who are non-mages.
People develop their magic and UM at different ages. For example, Riddle perfected his unique magic by age 10, but Sebek is said to be a late bloomer with his magic.
Only 10% of the human population in Twisted Wonderland is even capable of using magic at the basic level (enough to lift a cup). We do not know what this percentage is for other races such as fae, beastmen, and merpeople. To attend a prestigious magic school like Night Raven College, you must be the cream of the crop of this 10%.
It is believed (implied, not outright confirmed to my knowledge) that fae are specifically more magically inclined than the others (as the Briar Valley, which boasts a population of mainly fae, rely on magic for everyday things).
Magic education is not typically offered in most schools; you’d need to go to a specialized program like NRC, have a private tutor, or self-train.
According to Trey, most magic schools require a fourth year spent off-campus at an internship(s). The only time fourth years return to campus is for cultural festivals.
At NRC, first years study the theory behind magic; upper level courses involve more actual usage of magic in the classroom.
Students are not authorized to use magic combat unless formally granted permission by a faculty member or any dorm leader.
Imagination or visualization of one’s magic is apparently important for spells to be successful. This is most likely why NRC invests in classes like Music(ology) and the (Visual) Arts.
Magic is stated to be temporary. Even the incredibly powerful Malleus cannot permanently change the color of fabric (a very basic spell).
Curses and blessings have more long-lasting effects (usually a period of hundreds of years) that may wear away with time.
Blessings and curses are defined as magic bestowed upon someone. They are technically the same thing, and differ only by whether the intention is positive or negative.
It is considered rude to cast a spell on a person without their consent, especially if said spell is typically cast on objects.
It's implied you need to be conscious to maintain magic (excluding curses and blessings). For example, when you go to sleep, your magical fire will go out.
Autonomous magic also exists, though it requires considerably more power to maintain.
Every magic user is capable of manifesting a magic unique to them (which appears to be tied to the user’s personality and/or life experiences); this is known as “unique magic” (or a “signature spell” in the localization). Like with normal magic, UM manifests at different times for each mage.
The name for a UM and its chant appear to come “from within”; they are not names the mage consciously decides on.
UM typically requires more magic to cast than a standard spell. However, there are also UMs which require less magic than the average spell, such as Kalim and Silver’s.
Some UM (like the Shroud family’s Gate to (the) Underworld) seems to be hereditary.
Incantations are not always required; sometimes UM chants are said and other times they are not. This is also true of general spells. For example, Sebek and Silver chant “fire” and “light” to summon those elements but we don’t see Grim doing the same for his own fire magic.
Magical pens (or rather, the magestones in them) act as conduits through which a magician can channel their magic, though they are not required to cast spells.
Magestones were not always standardized; this affected quality and therefore the spells that resulted.
Using magic produces a dangerous and highly toxic byproduct known as “blot”. With proper rest and nutrition, blot naturally goes away.
Negative emotions speed up blot accumulation.
Different people accumulate blot at different speeds, just as different people have different magic pools to begin with (as determined by genetics, but apparently can be artificially inflated by magic training).
It is implied that the larger your magic pool, the longer blot remains in your system.
Letting blot build up from straining one’s magic or not allowing time for recovery will result in a state known as “Overblot”, in which the blot consumes the user and gives birth to a physical manifestation known as a “Phantom”.
You must sever the connection between the mage and their Phantom to snap them out of Overblot.
Phantoms will drain the vitality out of its host until they are dead; the Phantom will continue to exist afterwards.
“Overblot” is supposedly an uncommon occurrence.
Blot is made of strong toxins and stagnant magic. It condenses and crystallizes once it is expelled from the body.
Being in the presence of blot for extended period of time can make a mage feel ill. It’s not clear if blot can corrupt other mages just by touching it, but this appears to happen with Idia.
Blot appears to be caustic.
According to Idia, magic has no classifications like blood types do.
Magic circuits are like fingerprints; each mage has their own and it is unique to them, even blood relatives have different ones.
Even if one mage gives their magic to another person, the target’s output is still considered their own magic.
Magic can be naturally present in nature; magestones form as a result of crystals absorbing magic from the earth and air.
S.T.Y.X. is an organization that dedicates itself to studying blot and Overblots; they have captured a number of Phantoms and use them as test subjects for their research.
Anti-magic armor is able to be manufactured, but extremely powerful magic such as Malleus's can overwhelm the anti-magic quality of said armor. This implies a limit to how much magic can feasibly be blocked by armor made to keep it out.
It is the magic gemstone/magestone in the magical pens that absorbs blot; these gems are easily mined from certain caves.
It is possible to perform magic without a magic gemstone, but blot will build up in the body instead. The blot will also accumulate much faster, making normal spell casting take a much heavier toll, let alone unique magic.
Reiterating on the last point, it seems to take considerably more magic to use one’s UM. However, we also know of cases where this is not true, such as Kalim’s Oasis Maker (requiring only a little magic power to produce a ton of water).
Magical pens are not always pens. The NRC staff appear to have fashioned their gemstones into other items, and RSA students wear their magical gemstones as brooches instead of as pens. According to Lilia, the form of magical pens has changed a lot over the years. Sometimes they were super big, other times they were very small (see Lilia’s School Uniform vignette for more information on this).
Potion making does not seem to require magical input (unless, as the previous bullet point states, you need to infuse magic into an ingredient or into the potion itself), but flying a broom seems to (as Yuu is told they cannot play Magical Shift/Spelldrive, which requires riding a broom).
There is some level of chemistry involved with making potions; elements (the ones on the Periodic Table) are sometimes mentioned in reference to lab work.
Transformation potions are said to be outlawed. (This is why everyone was shocked when Jack’s unique magic allowed him to turn into a wolf.)
It is harder to use warping magic if you are injured.
Merpeople that go to work and study on land are given free potions from a special organization first established by the Mermaid Princess; these potions grant merpeople human forms for anywhere from 7 to 10 days and need to be continuously consumed in order to maintain its effects.
Potions apparently all taste bad.
There are special jobs related to magic, such as magical healers/medical mages (like Riddle’s parents) and magic policemen/magic marshals, something Deuce hopes to become in the future).
Magical engineering/technomancy (that is to say, the cross between magic and technology) is also a thing; Idia and students in Ignihyde generally excel in this field.
Magic must be infused in order to harvest certain ingredients, such as mandrake (see Cater’s Labwear vignettes for more information on this).
There are equations necessary to cast certain spells, such as “autocleaning via implement magic infusion” (see Riddle’s Dorm Uniform vignettes for more information on this).
There are items infused with magic that even non-magicians can use with ease (such as Yuu’s Ghost Camera), as they do not necessarily require magical input to operate.
It is also possible to infuse clothing with magic; this is the case for the NRC ceremonial robes and dorm leader uniforms. Infusing magic helps to protect the wearer.
Malleus is considered one of the “top 5 magicians in the world”, implying that there is some kind of ranking system in place. It's not clear how these spots are calculated or determined.
Ghosts are prone to gather in places with a lot of magical energy, such as NRC grounds on Halloween night.
Excess magic harms humans but heals fae.
Fae can draw magic from nature; fae are more magically inclined than other races.
Hundreds of years ago, mages were called “witches” and “wizards”, which were derogatory phrases. People feared them and magic.
You need a license to fly in cities.
Age 9-10 is considered “not that early” for magic to manifest. 14 is considered “late bloomer” status.
Anything that had has a spell cast on it has a magic trace.
Experienced mages can sense magical traces.
In recent years, the term “mage” was adopted to refer to magic-users.
Defense magic can protect you against the cold.
Losing one’s UM is treated as a very serious thing.
Mage licenses are international and mages are recognized as working toward the betterment of society.
There are laws and special agencies dedicated to disciplining those who would abuse their magic.
Focus and/or an adrenaline rush may temporarily enhance the accuracy and potency of spellcasting.
Magic is constructed using formulas.
It’s harder to transform someone else than transforming yourself.
Emotions have an influence on how well you perform your UM.
Wish Pieces are objects and/or magestones that supposedly respond to strong desires and are able to grant wishes. Whenever a Wish Piece appears, it tends to cause a massive shift in the course of history.

This wasn’t my idea!! I just saw it and found it really interesting, so I wanted to spread it around and share my thoughts. All credit for the initial idea goes to OP, Twitter user @kodama_ma_!
To roughly translate OP's tweets:
"What if... What if there was time in Prince Minajael's childhood when he was playing with his friend (a tiger whom he affectionally called "Tora-chan") and, one day, entirely without malice, the tiger accidentally scratched Minajael (and drew blood)? There would be a massive commotion/uproar, and the prince would desperately shield his friend, crying out, "Stop it! No, it's not like he did it on purpose!" But no one would listen to him. In that moment, it was the first time he truly grasped the reality of what it meant to be a prince, and even though he loathed it, he wiped away his tears...
"... put on the most 'dignified expression' he could, and, speaking in as cold of a voice as he could muster, Minajael declared: "--That is an order. Do NOT harm him. I will show no mercy to anyone who lays a hand on him." ... …What if that actually happened? What if that was the first time he ever issued a 'command' to another living being…?
Ugh, I cannot stress enough that this is SUCH tasty angst 😭 I feel like it also fits Mina super well, especially because this makes me think of the scene from Aladdin when Jasmine reveals herself and uses her authority as the princess to command the guards to release Aladdin. (The switch from sweet, curious, and a little sassy to authoritative is so good!!) I also love the idea that Minajael, despite disliking his status as crown prince, knows how to wield his power well and uses it to correct what he sees to be acts of injustice or inflicting pain onto his loved ones. Again, this is VERY Jasmine-esque of him.
I was talking about this headcanon with a friend the other day and they wondered how far the commotion actually went. They suggested that the servants even suggested to put down the tiger and then another friend went, "damn, that's more concern than the Sunset Savanna palace servants ever gave for Leona" That friend also pointed out that even though Mina hates using his authority, he's willing to use it to protect those he cares about... It really speaks to the difference between NRC and RSA. Using your power to get yourself ahead vs using your powers for others 🤡
Having someone fret over your safety every living moment, having a whole kingdom on his shoulders, having lives laid down for one drop of his blood... That's an immense weight to be on a child, and he didn't ask for any of it. I find it really ironic that the crown princes in Twisted Wonderland tend to not care for their titles or thrones. Malleus doesn't exactly resent it, but him being crown prince has negatively impacted his social life by isolated him from others and building him up as a figure to be worshipped, never treated like a normal person. Silver doesn't even acknowledge his royal bloodline that much; he considers himself his adoptive father's child. And then there's Mina, who wants to run away from it all 🥲
In which where a certain prince decides, why keep escaping blind dates when he could just marry YOU? (Minajael x GN! RSA 3rd year! Royalty! Reader)
Minajael had done it again.
He had not offered a polite excuse. Had not made a strategic retreat. Not even a grand speech about having the right to marry who he wants and leaving through the front door with a flick of his coat.
He hadn't walked out with dignity, not slipped away quietly, no.
He launched himself out of a second story window with the level of grace equivalent to that of a startled cat and landed in a bush that did absolutely nothing wrong to deserve such treatment.
There was a long pause as he attempted to quietly get out of the bush, branches snapping and leaves rustling as he did so.
Then, a voice from above, with far too much exhaustion.
"Please stop escaping blind dates like it's a heist."
Minajael froze.
Because that voice, that flat, tired, judgemental, and painfully familiar voice, meant that he had been caught in the worst way.
Slowly, very slowly, he turned his head upwards.
"I can explain," Minajael began as he looked up to your disappointed stare.
He couldn't exactly continue making a valid excuse while still half-way inside a bush.
"..You jumped out the window. Not a lot of room there for reinterpretation."
"It was a tactical exit."
"Tactical my ass, you knocked over a tea set on your way out."
"It was in my path."
You exhaled slowly, pressing two fingers to your temple. "You were on a blind date. Not infiltrating a fortress."
Minajael finally untangled himself from the bush with what remaining dignity that he could salvage. "In my defense, the conversation turned towards marriage expectations within 5 minutes of small talk."
"That's what blind dates are for. Mina, they pull this once a week."
"That's what NIGHTMARES are for."
"I refuse to be paraded around like a decorative vase towards strangers who think that marriage is a personality trait," he muttered, scowling with annoyance at the thought.
You leaned slightly over the railing, looking down to see the mess that was currently your friend. Disheveled, annoyed, but still very much alive. "Did you try saying no?"
"I did."
"And then?"
"They kept talking."
"..So you chose defenestration as the next best option," you concluded. "Yes, that makes perfect sense. Why choose to walk out the door when you can yeet yourself off the second floor through a window?" You asked, your voice dripping with sarcasm.
"I chose freedom," was Minajael's defense as he pointed upward slightly.
You sighed, before muttering, "One day they're going to start putting guards outside the windows."
"They'll have you catch me first," Minajael added with a grin.
"I am begging you," you continued flatly, "to exit like a normal human being."
Minajael tilted his head, before announcing, "Desperate times call for desperate measures."
"Shocking. Truly the most shocking thing I've heard in the past.. 20 seconds."
Minajael glanced up again as a quiet moment of silence passed, before asking, "Why are you even here?"
"I was invited," you answered. "And unlike some people, I use the door."
"Bold strategy."
"It's worked every time so far," you shrugged.
Minajael hummed, absentmindedly brushing off the last of the leaves. Then, almost automatically, he stared upwards towards you, his gaze remaining for a second longer than necessary.
Neat, and staring calmly, as if you didn't just witness him hurl himself out the window just to avoid a young lady asking him how many children he wanted.
Annoying.
Conveniently annoying.
You ignored him, sighing. For someone who was sharper than most, Minajael came up with the most random ideas for the sake of his freedom from royal politics.
Which included the time where he stole a magic carpet that was supposed to be sent towards his cousin in order to use it to make his 4th escape that year.
..It was February.
Minajael shifted his weight, glancing down at the thoroughly flattened bush beneath him, (which he was pretty sure was a bush that cost millions of madols to even tend to) and then back up. "You're judging me."
"I'm thinking."
"That's more dangerous."
"I'm thinking," you continued, ignoring him, "that if your problem is being forced into marriage arrangements-"
"It is," Minajael nodded.
"Then perhaps you could simply make yourself unavailable."
Minajael blinked, whipping his head up again to look at you.
"..What?"
You tilted your head slightly, expression calm in that unsettling way you had when you'd already thought five steps ahead of someone.
"If you just find someone as unwilling to marry as you, and convince them to just stay with you so that you'll look unavailable, then people will stop trying to get you to marry. After all, they'll think you're engaged."
There was a pause. A painfully long one. Somewhere in a distant, a bird made a very loud, and unfortunate noise.
Then slowly, visibly, something clicked. A lightbulb turned on in his head.
"Of course, I doubt that you would do such a thing, so consider it as a simple jest-"
"Oh."
You frowned slightly, not fully understanding the chaos that you had brought upon yourself. "..What do you mean, 'oh'?"
Minajael straightened, now fully out of that completely, and utterly destroyed bush.
"Oh," he repeated, this time with growing energy, "as in, 'oh, that is brilliant'."
You narrowed your eyes, leaning on the railing. "Now I'm getting scared."
"No, no, you started this. Now listen," Minajael said, pointing at you like he just discovered fire for the first time. "You're right. Completely right in fact. Engagement does solve everything."
"Yes..?"
"And," Minajael continued, pacing around in circles now, "as long as that person is suitable, someone convincing, someone that my family wouldn't reject, it should be fine, right?"
Your expression shifted into a frown. "...Yes."
"And," Minajael went on, voice picking up speed, matching his pace, "it has to be someone with status. After all they are trying to set me up with reputable princesses that don't have "questionable" pasts.. Someone that my family doesn't think will embarrass me in front of half the continent."
"..Mina."
"And, someone I can actually tolerate."
You went still.
And right at that moment, Minajael stopped pacing.
No, no he turned around. And looked directly at you.
The silence stretched long enough to be dangerous. And then"
"No."
Minajael grinned. "Oh come on."
"Absolutely not," you announced.
"You didn't even let me finish."
"I don't need to, I know more than enough to know what you're getting at."
"You do actually. This is a very well-thought-out-proposal. It works out for the both of us. Aren't your parents trying to get you to marry as well?"
The silence stretched longer, and the more it did, Minajael's smirk grew wider.
"..Your plan is an incredibly idiotic-"
"It's not actually," Minajael interrupted. "Think about it. You're also from Royal Sword Academy, you're the heir to the royal family that my family is trying to befriend and ally themselves with, you have no troublesome background- in fact you're seen as a 'catch' by those grandmas trying to set their grandchildren up with others, aren't you?"
"I am not getting fake engaged just so that you can avoid conversations. I said find someone equally against the idea of forced marriage as much as you. When I said that I did not mean me."
"It's not just avoiding conversations," Minajael said. "It's a long term strategic freedom."
"No."
"No more blind dates."
"No."
"No more awkward tea meetings."
"Still no."
"No more-"
"Mina."
Minajael looked up, to see that you had straightened fully now, no longer leaning out the window. "You want me to lie to your family. Do you realize how bad this could go?"
Minajael held your gaze, before mumbling, "It wouldn't be a complete lie."
Minajael knew a thing or two about his life. He knew that despite his fortunate background, he would never be permitted outside those catle walls. Never.
His whole life revolved around the idea of marriage, and the chance of meeting a worthy suitor. It was a cycle, where he was met with those who only wanted him for his status. He knew, in the end, that he was just a pawn in a game of politics.
He could never leave. He could never join the masses, those brimming with happiness, and freedom. He could never be one of them, unless he fought back.
So, he decided. If he were to ever marry, it would be someone that he chose. Someone he picked on his own terms. Someone willing to explore with him, someone who could match his wit, someone he'd like to bicker with. Someone who would fill the void in his heart that always seemed to remain empty.
And so he looked up, up at you, who stared down at him with those tired, exasperated eyes.
And for once in his life, he didn't feel that void, the thing that he believed was a constant part about him. Something he thought was just another part of his body.
You blinked, just once. "Excuse me?"
"We.. already get along, don't we? I mean, I get along with you better than most people I know. So.. it's.."
You didn't respond.
"It's not.. that, ridiculous. Not completely, at least."
Minajael didn't look away.
You sighed, before muttering, "You jumped out of a window to avoid a conversation."
"Yes."
"And now you want to solve that problem of yours, by creating an even bigger problem?" You asked.
"Also yes."
"..You're unbelievable."
"I've been told that. Many times in fact."
You looked down at Minajael, for a long, and unbearably tense moment, eyes unreadable.
"..Fine."
Minajael blinked, eyes widening. "Wait.. really?"
You looked at him, incredulous, "Did you seriously ask me such a question without even expecting a positive answer?"
Minajael grinned, "I mean, knowing you? Yeah, I did."
"..Just don't jump out of a window next time."
"No promises."
"Oh Great Sevens give me patience-"
"Don't you mean strength-"
"If they gave me strength I would have killed you by now."
Note: This may be OOC since this is before Minajael's canon personality has been released, like the only answer I get when I google his personality is the shitty AI overview. However, I would like to add that this is a scene where Minajael already had a crush on you for a long time so he's just plotting at this point.

Prankster Fairy dust victims has gone through another wave of more unfortunate circumstances...or maybe they're having way too much fun in this situation.
