Bruh that Otto-man rehearsal was the funniest shit in the show yet. Also damn, super speed might not be a superpower I would want anymore

it makes you wonder, what the creators of these spells were thinking when creating them, half of Nico's spells are straight ass

That's the catch, they didnt.

I would assume in this world, all the spell developments is still ongoing and unfortunately most of those spells are still bound by laws of nature like the Double it one

i also think from a writer's perspective they want to show that you can't get a free lunch when it comes to things like magic; there's always a price to pay, especially when used for selfish reasons

Except for flying. That part's just cool.

The flying had the weight limit though but for herself it is pretty cool

The only time they've really paid off without a drawback was for the guy who needed privacy to take a dump.

The flying spell also worked just fine without any complications. The only problem was a foreign object entering the spell zone.

....I just realized how much funnier that would've been if said truck had looked a bit like Optimus Prime.

To be honest I always thought the problem was that 1, Nico is a witch in training who doesn’t really get the spells yet, and 2, they’re being used by idiot teenagers that suck at thinking about consequences.

They seem to be the magical equivalent of prescription drugs. They have a main use that's really beneficial, but they always seem to have side effects, so you just have to be careful about when they're applied.

Maybe those spells are suppose to be like genie wishes, where they backfire on you if you are not careful on what you wish for.

Well these spells do apparently include preventative measures so you can’t cause harm to others so the detrimental elements/obvious blowback can help keep ‘em in check
