I was just reflecting on this magic mirror, and I noticed something for the first time! OMG I’m so excited! Sit down for this one, guys.

Let’s begin with Viren and Claudia:



Their reflections are correct for normal reflections. Viren’s hair swoops to the right, and Claudia’s ear and earrings are visible on her right. Nothing wonky here.

Here’s Viren doing that nasty eye spell and getting nowhere:

His hair swoops to the right. Normal reflection.

Then he sets everything on fire and squishes the flame out, and the mirror turns on.

And just for a couple of seconds, we can clearly see that HIS HAIR SWITCHED DIRECTIONS.

The mirror is in use from one side. The reflection is flipped.

Now, hold onto your butts, because here’s where it gets crazy.

When Runaan is chained up in his cell, we can see he’s got some nifty markings over his heart. They’re on his left side, just like his broken horn.

But in the mirror’s reflection, they should look like they’re on his right side but they don’t.

The mirror is active from one side.

AARAVOS IS WATCHING!
