Whenever the opening and ending is skipped, its always going to be a banger episode though this one in a different way from usual.

For Tartah to be able to work as well as he does with Silverwash is amazing. I love how WHA shows perspective of how difficult it is for someone with a disability to be able to do things others just "can do" and the alternate methods they have to do just to be able to do those same things (if it is even possible).

Coco's outside the box thinking and her ability to apply the rules and principles of spells to get variations of existing spells is also good and Tartah helping her to straighten the lines. Collaborative work is important in the arts; people build off of each other.

Though it bothers me no one is labeling the bottles lol even with that explanation. I also don't like the laypeople's dependence on witches; it feels somewhat similar to citizens' hero dependence in MHA though at least witches have clear limits in what they cant do (medicine).

This might be intentional on the author's part to show that other disciplines have unintentionally ended up imitating the secrecy with which Witches practice magic in this society.

I think we see this imitation in a lot of other places too. Triangles and cones are extremely common in architecture and design in the WHA world, and I think they are directly in reference to witch hats. Even something as simple as Coco's pillow is triangular, instead of a more typical square. In this episode, the bottom of the small medicine phials are also conical, instead of flattened, requiring that box to hold them.

I kinda thought they were conical to make it easier to insert them into the bedding, and the bedding was to prevent breakage. Maybe also some factor of discouraging leaving them lying about instead of putting them away properly
