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.
