I'm confused by the order of Last Breaths here. SpellMaker had a LB that made Ophallo mortal. Poppa Henry made it into a mirror before he died. Did Syndon have a LB?

"Yet there is something,” the SpellMaker said. “Something I could never pin down and study. No matter how much I lied to Ophallo, I could never truly see who his new master was. I only know that that master, and the maybe man, exist. I also know how we can stop them.” Is it Supreme Leader Snoke? I'll bet it's Supreme Leader Snoke.

Magic blankets!

I was kind of expecting more from the Trial. It was a huge deal earlier, a race against the clock to save everyone before they were put to death in Henry's place. Who's putting on the Trial? Ophallo? Why would he give up? Or his flunkies? Syndon? Why does he care about a Trial and politics since he just wants to conquer? Some other governor whose power/authority is unknown and entirely unimportant in the face of Ophallo and Syndon except to clear Henry's name? I'm actually very confused.

Wait, so...what happened with Warven? I don't remember. Is the Night King here? Is he resurrecting the dead for his own evil army?

Five thrones and six rulers. Can I get seven crystal stars, too? Oh, wait, that's Paper Mario.

Things were just starting to make sense and get into a rhythm and then suddenly MAGIC AND PROPHECY AND INFO DUMP AND SHAKE THAT BOX OF STUFF! And what do we have in the hat? Oh, looks like a SpellMaker Dream! And the next Powerball numbers are Trial, Council, Wanderer, Ring, and, the bonus number is Emily! If you have all of these together, come claim your prize of WORLD PEACE.
