ACEP ID:
The episode introduces several distinct magical enhancements and chemical mixtures that serve as "features" of the Brakebills students' training:
The Ardent Eccentric – Magicians S2E2 – Hotel Spa Potions
: Dean Fogg introduces a defensive "feature" where students are tattooed with a cacodemon (a small, lobster-like demon) that lives under their skin. This acts as a one-time-use weapon that can be released during a desperate battle.
: Margo prepares a modified version of a hangover drink she and Eliot used to share. By adding Ativan and Nightshade , it becomes a potion that grants external control over a person's muscles. In the episode, this is used as a temporary fix for Penny’s cursed hands, allowing Professor Sunderland to manipulate them to perform spells.
