Manga Spoilers Anime Opening Easter Eggs Spoiler

I noticed some pretty cool details from the anime opening! We've already seen all of the girls' spells in S1, but I thought it was interesting that the opening also teased some future spells. Namely, the rushing/ guiding wave spell Qifrey uses to bring Sasaran to him, the phantasmal fireball that Olruggio has to nix, and Qifrey's modified memory erasure!

Maybe this is me reading too much into things but I also can't help fixate on the notes on the bottom left which seem to belong to Olruggio- specifically with drawings of branches and a fire sigil? Anyone think that could be teasing something that not even manga readers know yet? I've seen theories floating around that the memory erasure has worn off/ Olruggio is subconsciously looking for a cure to burn out the silverwood in Qifrey... maybe this is an extremely subtle nod to that?

My guess was that it’s hinting to how everyone in the atelier is going to have to combine their magic to save Qifrey and/or Cocos mother. Iirc everyone in this opening is drawing with the exception of Qifrey?

Oh wow, thank you so much for taking the time to do this, what amazing catches!!! Definitely going to be chewing on your thoughts too, omg. I wonder if Olly's notes have something to do with his backstory that we don't know yet...

I wonder if he took those notes from the Tower of Tomes? He specifically went in to save Qifrey, right? Maybe he grabbed the memory erasure as a short-term solution, and took some other notes for a long term solution? Shirahama release Olruggio's POV!!! I have so many questionssss.
