I was starting to give Ebony Raven Tera (insert 12 other random names) credit for using Abra Cadabra to end the story, like as if she made the rest of it disappear, in story, to explain why there isn't any more story. Once you all talked about Avada Cadavra, I remember one time she misused abra cadabra for that same spell, and now I think it's entirely possible she wasn't trying to wrap it up like that at all and still was just planning for My Immortal to have no end. Great finale, you need to have Em back on for something else as well.

This podcast is fun and informative. Santell and David have a great friendship and it really comes through in every episode. I love hearing the stories that I never heard the real way, like Ali Baba and the 40 thieves (41, right?). Morgania really deserved more respect after what she did for her OWNERS. They also have fun stingers, like ARMY STUFF and LESSONSssss. Their catalogue of stories is also growing and it's fun to see the spread of culture as it grows.

This story started as a criminal street magician and ended up as the Tom Sawyer of two-birds-with-one-stone murder. LESSONS: When trying to make bushels of money, always try to work murder in somewhere. Great episode
