Trivia
- Several encoded messages appear on the update's pages, and they use Agathodaimon symbols.
- Two are found on ribbons that stretch across the page. The first says "Bazbo Bibbons", and the second "Abo alabazbus"
- Several sentences can be read within an illustration of a spell book
- FEAR NOT THOSE WHO SEEK TO DESTROY YOU. FOR WITH THIS BOOK YOU ARE GRANTED THE STRENGTH OF A GIANT.
- OR PERHAPS WHAT YOU SEEK IS A RAIN OF BURNING COMETS TO SMITE YOUR FOE.
- A RAIN OF COMMETS(sic) ISN'T GOOD ENOUGH FOR YOU
- FINE. YOU SHALL BE GIVEN THE SPEED OF CHEETAH.
- AND STILL NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR YOU
- FINE. WELL LEAVE THIS TO CHANCE. TRY NOT TO BURN YOUR OWN FACE OFF.
