I guess after watching ‘Into the Wand’ and seeing others theorise about it, I kind of want to give my two cents into it.

Note I am not a hardcore theorist so don’t expect a huge amount of detail.

So we’ve all seen this tapestry:

(Oh yeah, spoilers if you haven’t seen the episode. Although, I guess it’s kind of pointless now.)

We all know that Moon, Star’s mother, fought Toffee some time ago, cutting off his finger and therefore somehow forcing him to be without it.

Despite the fact that he can regenerate.

Now, there are theories on his ties to the royal family that fans have already gone into, but I’m not going into any of that.

What I’m going to ask is: why hasn’t his finger grown back?

Some have speculated that the spell caused him to become immortal, and while I can see that it would certainly fill the ‘darkest spell of Moon the Undaunted’, I don’t see why Moon would cast such a spell at a monster. And it’s not like he was left in a crippled state, he only lost his finger.

I think the spell was meant to cancel out his regenerative abilities. I think Moon was aiming to kill him, but missed. She hit his finger, cutting it off and cursing it to never grow back.

After that, who knows. Maybe after realising that wand could kill him for good, Toffee ran away. Maybe the wand only had enough in it for one blast. Either way, Toffee lived to see another day, haunted by the fact one of the few spells the wand could use to actually kill a monster could end his life.

And so he set out to destroy the wand for good.

But hold on. It has also been speculated that the voice in ludo’s wand is Toffee’s spirit. Toffee put his soul into that half of the wand, and is now manipulating Ludo.

I guess that would explain why his hand hasn’t regenerated. He’s not in it anymore. Or at least, not for the time being.

So what is his goal here? Why did he put his spirit in the wand? I don’t imagine it was an accident, and given his knowledge of the wand I don’t doubt he knew it wouldn’t be broken forever.

I think his end goal is to bring the wand together again, and thus gain control of the wand and end the curse on himself. From the inside, he will gain control of the wand, or perhaps he’ll manipulate whoever’s in control of it (likely Star. Can you imagine her reaction to her wand speaking to her? She’ll do what it asks, even if it’s questionable.)

Perhaps from the inside of the wand, he can also break the wand for good, instead of only cleaving it in half and killing the unicorn inside. Or perhaps all it will do is allow him to regenerate to his full power, finger and all.
