Did Sasha use a love spell on Cedric?

So, yesterday I was looking at these storyboards that were kindly shared here (thank you so much, I love that episode) and I saw this:

Does that mean Sasha actually used a love spell on Cedric? Or just a discarded idea?

Cedric's face in the storyboard makes me laugh a lot, btw

So, you're all welcome

CONCEPT ART CEDRIC YOU WILL ALWAYS BE LOVED

Live Laugh Lconcept art cedric my beloved my baby I will protect you from all the evil things in world

Every time I watch that episode (I love it) and see Calista and Sofia smiling in the background, I feel like they're being threatened to do it.

I can imagine something like:

Calista: What do we do?

Sofia: Just keep smiling. (Forced smile)

Oh, the way Cordelia behaves in that song makes me think of so many headcanons. By the way, have I mentioned that I love that episode? (I did)

Cordelia just showed up, sang the best intro song for an episode, bullied Cedric, gave us the lore of their family (More about Cedric), and disappeared.

Headcanons and Ideas that Episode “Through the Looking Back Glass” Left Me With

(Long post)

1. Wandless magic

First of all, every time I see the incident scene, I can't help but wonder about the magic without a wand. I mean the part where Child Cedric performs a spell with his bare hands, when he tries to fix Cordelia's hair.

That got me thinking because (and correct me if I'm wrong) I don't have seen another sorcerer or sorceress do magic only with their hands. My headcanon about this is that some wizards, with a long lineage of magic, can do some spells without a wand.

And, well, it makes sense to me knowing that Cedric came from a long line of wizards.

Anyway, I don't know if doing this kind of magic is somewhat advanced for a child. It caught my attention when Child Cordelia says: "But you can't cast a spell like that, Ceddy. You're too young".

And then, Cedric shows her he actually CAN do the spell. That, more than a headcanon, makes me wonder if Cedric was a prodigy in magic before losing his self-confidence due to the incident.

And it makes me a little sad thinking about whether Cedric could have had a brighter future if that incident had never happened.

2. Goodwyn being a terrible father

I always found it so unfair the way everyone treats Child Cedric when the smoke serum failed, and even more so, the way his parents let it happen. I know this doesn't even happen in the episode, but I think it's somewhat implicit that Goodwyn didn't defend or at least comfort Cedric. He doesn't even seem to forgive him for his "mistake."

I mean, if your son accidentally hurts his sister, I understand your anger at first. Maybe saying he shouldn't be playing with things he doesn't know or punishing him for his carelessness, perhaps. But eventually, you should tell him it's fine, that you know it wasn't his intention, right? I don't know, something like that, because despite everything, HE'S A CHILD.

Children make mistakes. Cedric's "mistake" was serious, of course. But I think that, as a father, anyone should not let it grow so much that it becomes social rejection. I don't know if I explain myself. But I mean that the way Goodwyn (and Winnifred) handled the matter was terrible.

This brings me to my idea: something was wrong in that family even before the incident. (Explained more in the later points)

Maybe not as bad as it sounds, but personally, I believe something was happening at least between Goodwyn and Cedric for Goodwyn to act like that. I could also say, my headcanon is that Goodwyn had all his hopes and expectations on Cedric. He was going to be his replacement, the new Royal sorcerer, even if he was a child.

I believe part of the way Goodwyn probably reacts and treats Cedric after the incident (I'm referring to all the scolding and interrupting him, as seen in the Mystic Meadows episode) comes from that idea of him disgracing his legacy. Sorry if it's a very basic idea, but this takes me to another point.

3. Goodwyn shit-talking about Cedric

So, similar to the part before, I think that even before the incident, Goodwyn was very hard on Cedric. For the reasons I explained before, I think Goodwyn put pressure on Cedric to get his spells right and that kind of thing. Because, surely even before everything, Cedric did not meet his expectations.

And one of the reasons I believe this is because of that part when Child Cordelia screams at Cedric during the incident: “This is all your fault.”

Because even if, at that moment, it definitely looked like it was his fault, why was Child Cordelia's first reaction to scream and blame Cedric? Because it's a learned habit.

From nothing more than Goodwyn. A child doesn’t learn alone; they imitate behaviors from their home and environment. He doesn't care to say it in front of Sofia (a girl who shouldn't be involved in it) in that buttercups episode, after all. That’s my headcanon here.

Cordelia saw the way her father scolded Cedric, and then, she learned to do it. The incident was only the trigger, so to speak.

It obviously got worse after the incident.

4. Winnifred and Cordelia Relationship

I know it was such a short scene and maybe the animators didn't want to make a young Winnifred model, but where the fuck was Winnifred during the incident? It's your daughter's big special entrance; shouldn't you be in the front row to see her?

That was just a thought I wanted to share, anyway…

This episode, and others about Cedric’s family, gave me the headcanon that just as Cedric had a bad relationship with his father, Cordelia had it with her mother.

Maybe not as bad as Cedric with Goodwyn, but something like that. Let me explain my thought. When Child Cordelia needs comfort, she doesn't look for her mother; she runs to her father. (Well, yeah, because Winnifred wasn't there, so we don't know if Cordelia could have gone to her instead.)

I think Cordelia and Goodwyn had a better relationship because Winnifred always had a slight preference for Cedric that only grew after the incident. With Goodwyn and Cordelia attacking Cedric, Winnifred may have felt an obligation to be on her son’s side.

That probably would make Child Cordelia feel like her mother is betraying her. I mean, if your mother tries to defend the person that hurt you (that left you bald), you probably feel angry at her.

Even more so when she spends her time saying he's a “great sorcerer” despite everything he did. You live permanently bald because of him, and he's a great sorcerer? That's totally bullshit. (At least, that's what Cordelia must have thought.)

And, as it seems in “Cedric be good,” she also supports him in anything he does. Even when it’s something bad and a legit crime. I just imagine Winnifred defending Child and young Cedric for everything he did, even if, sometimes, it was really his fault. So, in part, that makes me understand Cordelia's anger.

Yeah, I made a headcanon to understand and empathize with Cordelia a little.

So, probably Cordelia got closer to her dad. I also can see them talking shit about Cedric while doing some activity together, lol. It's like their recreational time.

Summary: Cedric is a mommy’s boy and Cordelia is a daddy’s girl. (Is that expression well used? I don't speak English but I have seen some people use it. I'm a little afraid of using the wrong expressions and having something else understood.)

5. Sorceress/ sorcerer balls are a presentation to magical society.

Yep. That's my other headcanon. (And I think it's for any gender)

I belive this because of the other wizards we can see in the background. Again, I know it's because it's probably easier for animators to use the same models of other characters, but let’s leave that aside.

These wizards are the same as in the episode “Hexley Hall” during the song the other familiars sing to Wormwood. These people are academics from Hexley Hall and, apparently, very important people in the world of wizards. (Because of the number of portraits they have around the series and so on.)

I think the ball is a way of presenting the new little wizards who will join the world of sorcery. Also, I think that after 10 years old, is the time they enter Hexley Hall. So, it makes sense for people from Hexley Hall to come to these parties to see their future students and members.

I say it's from the age of ten because in Cedric's flashback in Hexley Hall, he already has white locks. Personally, I think Cedric was 8 or 9 during the incident, and that Cordelia is the older sister. In fact, I thought that was canon until I saw some people disputing it.

Anyway, that only makes Cedric's mistake more significant. Because he, in front of the eyes of the most important people in the magic community, looked like a failure. And maybe that's why he had such a bad reputation in Hexley Hall.

Plus whatever he did in his school years.

Thank you for your time! I would like to know what you think about it. I can't believe how interesting a scene that's less than five minutes long is.

Omg @majoresca That's amazing, I adore those ideas.

I hadn't thought of it that way! I love thinking about what you said about Winnifred. I feel like it gives it a little more depth. I have always found her to be a somewhat difficult character to understand.

But that detail of how she caresses hair to comfort people and how she couldn't do it with Cordelia is, oh, delicious.

Thank you for your time! I would like to know what you think about it. I can't believe how interesting a scene that's less than five minutes long is.

i think this is the funniest thing ive ever made

Silly sketch I did last night about Cedlock

(Skip if you are not interested in the ship because I'll ramble a little, thank you very much)

So, here's the real reason why Greylock joined the Order of the wand. May everything be for the good of the kingdom and its alliances.

But I'm sure Cedric would never make a pose like that, this is all a Greylock's fever dream.

While doing so, I was thinking about an old song that, for some reason, brought up the following scenario:

Greylock, after trying (and failing) to flirt with Cedric for the hundredth time, breaks into a sad-dramatic song. Well, in my head it really works more like the classic drunk guy who starts singing for his ex.

The song is from Spanish, but here is the translation. Just like the other dialogues.

1.

You walked by my side

With great indifference

Your eyes didn’t even

Turn towards me

I saw you without you seeing me

I spoke to you without you hearing me

And all my bitterness

Drowned inside me

2. How long were they together?

3. They were never anything.

For some reason the song makes me think of them (Yeah, a Pedro Infante song, lol) Within my silly headcanons for this ship, I like to think that Greylock has been in love with Cedric for years. And since Cedric doesn’t even notice, Greylock is dying from his indifference.

That's all, just some nonsense

Why Calista Has Such a Good Relationship with Cedric: An Analysis and Headcanons on Calista's Family Dynamics.

I’ve been thinking about why Calista likes Cedric so much and I’ve come to some interesting conclusions. I’ll break it down into points to explain my ideas.

(Long post)

1. How the world perceives Cedric.

For this, I think it’s very important to consider the interactions between Cordelia and Cedric before resolving the incident. It seems that despite their animosity, they have reached a truce for Calista’s sake.

Of course, they still have their conflicts, and Calista knows this because neither of them tries too hard to hide it. In reality, I think they do try, but both have short tempers that lead them to end up arguing.

In this scene, I like to believe that Cedric is afraid to say "No" to Cordelia because he tries to maintain the little peace they have created. Cordelia, although condescendingly, treats Cedric somewhat better in this episode.

If you notice, their arguments become more accusatory when they are alone. Like the scene before Calista and Sofia arrive with the mirror in "Through the Looking Back Glass"

In front of Calista, Cordelia limits herself to dismissing Cedric with small comments. For example: "Don’t be embarrassed to admit you forgot the spell" or "Don’t bother, we have delicate things and we don’t want... anything to happen to them" (Well, she doesn’t say exactly that, but that’s the vibe).

Anyway, these comments certainly have an impact that Calista does not overlook. She is aware that her mother sees Cedric as incompetent, as a failure.

I wouldn’t be surprised if, visiting her grandparents, Calista also heard similar comments from Goodwyn. Because he doesn’t seem to mind dismissing his son in public either: "Cedric the so-so" (Goodwyn about Cedric in Mystic Meadows in front of Sofia).

That’s why I like to believe that Calista says: "Any friend of my uncle Ceddy is the bestest best friend of mine."

Because, in reality, there are few people she knows who have a good image of Cedric. In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised if Sofia (besides Winnifred ) was the first person Calista knows who gets along well with her uncle.

Now, where does this lead us? Well...

2. The pressure that Cordelia inadvertently puts on Calista.

With this point, I’m not trying to say that Cordelia is a bad mother who pressures Calista to be perfect. No, at least not exactly.

In fact, I think Cordelia is a good mother. She cares about Calista and knows her perfectly. I like the next scene because it shows a bit of what I’m saying.

Despite being in a hurry, Cordelia doesn’t scold or yell at Calista. She gets down to her level to talk and make her understand that she can’t take her agenda without permission, and she kindly asks her to return it.

Of course, like any person, Cordelia has flaws as a mother. One of them is that often, unintentionally, she generates pressure on Calista not to fail. Let me explain.

By saying it’s unintentional, I mean that Calista, seeing how her mother treats Cedric for being a poor sorcerer and making mistakes, might get the idea that if she make mistakes, she would be treated the same way by her mother. Even if it really wouldn’t be like that.

Certainly, Cordelia asks her to behave, but she doesn’t scold her directly as she does with Cedric, because her issue with him is completely different. But, at least before looking in the mirror, Callista didn't know that.

3. Calista’s internalization of the fear of disappointing others.

That said, I believe that if Calista really thinks that if she fails like Cedric, she will be treated the same way by her family, it explains a bit of her anxiety to get along and prove herself in front of the witches in "Too Cute to Spook."

Now, although I said that what Cordelia does by generating this expectation for Calista is inadvertent, the next scene really catches my attention.

I always wondered why, at that particular part of the song, Cordelia caresses Calista in such a way. To me, it seems a bit like a kind of warning for Calista.

It’s probably not intentional, as I said, but I find it curious.

Anyway, continuing with this point...

It’s not very well explained in the series how complicated the spells that Calista does are, but it seems to me that for a child, she can do an incredible amount of things. She can make herself float, create illusions, create objects out of nothing, and, more interestingly, she can undo spells from a more experienced sorcerer (Cedric).

I say this because of that scene in "Gone with the Wand" where Calista frees Cedric from the nets he created for Morgana and ended up trapping him. I doubt that Cedric, wanting to trap Morgana, would have cast an easy spell to break.

What I mean is: Calista is a prodigy. At least, she seems to be.

Surely Cordelia must feel very proud of her, as must her grandparents, knowing how much Goodwyn cares about the magical ability of his descendants. So, wouldn’t that feed the fear of disappointing them?

This phrase, although it can be understood in the context of that episode, gives us a glimpse of how Calista perceives herself.

And, Who can understand that feeling better than anyone? Her dear Uncle Ceddy.

4. The relationship between Calista and Cedric: why Calista loves him so much.

Cedric loves Calista, that’s not in doubt. He listens to her, comforts her, and makes her understand that certain things are wrong in a compassionate way and not through scolding or mistreatment. His first instinct when they are in danger is to protect her (and Sofia), which undoubtedly shows Calista how much he cares for her.

If Calista feels that fear of disappointing others, Cedric could be the only person Calista sees who won’t abandon her if she turns out to be a failure instead of a prodigy.

If, in some way, Calista feels pressured by her mother’s expectations or the people around her, she finds a safe place in Cedric because she knows he won’t judge her, he won’t demand perfection from her.

Calista can be totally herself with him, I'm not saying she isn't with Cordelia, but if she's taking care not to have any flaws...

In the same way, that idea could fuel the empathy she feels for her uncle. She feels bad that Cordelia is hard on him because, even on a very different level, she understands what it feels like.

I should also add that Calista has a good image of Cedric; she has seen him perform spells perfectly. She believes Cedric is a great sorcerer, but if that great sorcerer is not enough in the eyes of his family, What fate awaits her?

Well, that’s basically all I have to say. Thank you for reading, and as always, I’d be happy to hear any comments!

Cedric's dark robe

I know the way Cedric's robe looks almost black is because of the animation, but I like to think that in fact, in season four he was starting to wear a darker shade of purple.

Like, the darkest shade of purple he could find because they wouldn't let him wear black.

He's in his emo phase.

Cordelia headcanon: Cordelia is magically charming.

So, I might have overanalyzed Cordelia's song a bit too much, and now I have an interesting headcanon about her.

This is also a kind of justification for why Sofia and Calista smile and dance with her throughout the song in "Through the Looking Back Glass"

1. Cordelia can enchant people.

I don’t know the exact English word to describe what I mean since I couldn’t find something similar, but I’m referring to Cordelia being magically charming to everyone.

Like a siren who seduces anyone with her beautiful voice, you know? Cordelia’s magic makes others more prone to like her. That’s more or less my headcanon.

Wouldn’t it be funny? While Cedric repels everyone around him, his sister attracts them easily?

I know this is referring to the way Cordelia always discredits him, but I thought it was illustrative. Furthermore, if her magic really made others like her more, it would also make them believe her more.

Well, that said, here’s my other idea.

2. Sofia and Calista were under her effect (A poor justification for the animation)

This point is quite doubtful, and it’s all a headcanon clearly, but the girls’ behavior during the song is a bit curious.

At the beginning, we see them worried about Cedric, and yes, they dance at the start too, but their faces show that discomfort.

It’s not until Cordelia lifts them with her magic that they start to smile and dance more cheerfully. I’m not saying that Cordelia bewitched them on purpose, no, what I’m saying is that her magic unconsciously has that effect on people.

When the girls move away from Cordelia, they seem worried again, and as soon as they get close to her again, they go back to smiling and being lively, as if being near Cordelia makes them do so.

I don’t know exactly if I’m explaining myself well, but I hope it’s understood lol.

Lastly, analyzing this, I was thinking about something else in the song.

3. Does Cordelia know about Cedric's attempt to usurp the throne?

This is more of a question for you rather than a headcanon or theory, what do you think? Does Cordelia know?

Because I find this part and the way she says it curious:

Because, objectively speaking, Cedric has never been in charge. Yes, he’s the royal sorcerer, but everyone knows that any authority that his position might carry is undermined and trampled by everyone.

It seems like an implicit way of saying she knows, I guess. Or maybe it’s my English failing again, but I think it can also be understood in the following way:

"With you in charge (as King), the place will end up a wreck"

It's another way of interpreting it I guess. Idk.

Well, I just found it interesting. It might also explain why she’s more aggressive this time with Cedric than in her previous appearance in "Gone With the Wand"

As always, happy to read any opinion on the matter!

Post to share songs that you associate with STF characters

Hi! I was listening to a song that reminds me of Cedric and wanted to ask if anyone else had a song they also associate with him or any other STF character.

For my part, I was listening to "El innombrable.* It's quite famous because of the TikTok trends, so maybe you know it, but if not, here it is:

Specifically, although the whole song fits him quite well, these parts remind me of him the most (Translated from Spanish to English, so there are slight differences in meaning):

Look who’s coming, look who’s there!

It’s him! The jinx, the wasp nest agitator

The one everyone says is a bird of ill omen

His presence ruins any celebration

And whenever he’s invoked, a disaster ensues

They say it’s like that, it was and will be

And he attracts disasters as if he were a magnet

May he not see us and may he not touch us

May no one think of greeting him

Don’t go shouting his name

Because he calls for calamity

When did his fame begin? How did the rumor spread?

Who was the first to stigmatize him?

Because once marked, he will always be pointed at

Who turns to stone will die as stone

He will carry that weight all his life

And that weight will end him

And partly in jest, partly in earnest

He will be the target of cruel laughter

I don't think I need to explain much why it reminds me of him lol. Anyway, I would be happy to hear some other songs that you like and why you associate them with stf characters!

Oh, this is very good, I really like your vision.

Now, thinking a little more, I was remembering that I once heard "two birds on a wire" and I thought about Cedric and Sofia's friendship

In general, it alludes me to how their friendship develops and how Sofia is that bird inviting Cedric to fly and being better, always being understanding while Cedric is the bird who resists and is tired of trying.

Specifically, the last part (01:51) brings images of "Day of the Sorcerers" to my mind. I imagine it is a feeling of betrayal of the friendship and understanding that Sofia always offered him.

It would be interesting to think about that because it’s quite true that beauty is subjective within the parameters set by each culture, but judging by the reaction of other sorcerers, I don’t think that’s the case.

Also, thinking about it, I don’t necessarily think that Cedric is unattractive because of his facial structure, but rather because of how apparently unkempt he is: poor posture, dark circles under his eyes, etc.

Although you’re making me reflect on this...

So, I recently returned to university after the holidays and in just three days, art school is demanding everything from me.

I'm taking advantage of small breaks to continue with a mini-comic I have pending about the idea of @shychick-52 (About Cedric being in charge for a day) and some other things.

All day I've been thinking about this image:

Goodwyn's clothes

So, I recently realized that Cedric is, theoretically, dressed like his dad. I was just curious that they use the same tones, although Cedric's are darker.

I was also thinking that Goodwyn likes clothes with more details, for example that robe with a pattern. He also wears hats and other accessories like we saw in Mystic Meadows, so I wondered if maybe because Goodwyn's style is more "luxurious" than Cedric's, he thinks Cedric is poorly dressed.

I'm referring to that comment in Mystic Meadows about Cedric's robe.

Honestly, I don't think Cedric has the guts to kill someone. At least, not premeditatedly.

Because if he wanted to, that would have been the quickest course of action to become king. It would have also been easy to hurt an eight-year-old girl to get her amulet, but he didn't do it.

Whether out of decency or another reason, Cedric doesn't seem like the type to seek to kill or directly harm others. However, I do believe he would be capable of killing unintentionally in certain situations.

(Understand this as meaning that Cedric's actions are not directly guided by a desire to kill others, but rather by a desire to protect Sofía. The primary goal is not to kill, but he would be willing to make certain choices even knowing that someone else's death would be the result.)

1. Choice.

If Sofía and another person were in a dangerous situation during a battle, and Cedric had to (forcefully) choose just one person to help, he would choose Sofía. Even if the result was indirectly the death of someone else.

Technically, he wouldn't be the one doing the killing. But his omission led to that result.

2. Defense-Overriding.

In an extreme battle situation, I'd like to believe that Cedric would defend himself and Sofía to the extent necessary, even if it means having to kill.

The goal is not to kill out of sadism or revenge, but out of necessity, to prioritize Sofía's safety.

Killing would never be the action on which Cedric bases his decision, but rather a last resort.

I'm not exactly sure if I'm explaining myself well, but basically my answer is yes, he would be capable of it, but not without a good reason. And he wouldn't take pleasure in it.

Now, in the case of the "worst" scenario:

If something were to happen to Sofía, let's say, the worst possible scenario, I feel that yes, Cedric would react excessively toward the other person.

However, I'm not sure if he would go through with it completely.

Would Cedric- especially post-redemption Cedric- ever kill anyone with his magic if they harmed (or worse) Sofia?

LET'S FUCKLING GOOOO

GUYS???

Headcanon about Cordelia.

Since the incident, Cordelia used to wear wigs in brown or lighter shades to resemble her natural hair, but also to avoid looking too much like Cedric.

When Calista was born, she started wearing dark-haired wigs to match her daughter.

Hi! This is a mini-comic inspired by @shychick-52 's idea (here) about Cedric being in charge for a day. However, your humble servant tweaked it a bit because I enjoy angst and like to think that Cedric has triggers related to the Day of the Sorcerers.

Enjoy!

Someone hug that poor man!

I apologize publicly for how Cedric is drawn on the first page and in some panels, lol. This man is very difficult to draw from the front, and he and my style aren't particularly friends.

Honestly, I am trying not to think about it because I don't want to get my hopes up before seeing it.

But I would like, as you say, for them to keep the lessons already learned from Sofia. I really find this concept of Sofia "relearning" how to adapt to this school interesting.

Because while it's true that we've already seen a similar theme in the series, it's also true that new things can still be explored. Change is something natural, and no one stays the same permanently.

I would like to see Sofia adjust to this school, and especially, if they want to maintain the Protectors' storyline, to see her struggle with coordinating her time and activities.

Also I would like Sofia's "learning about friendship" to be through new challenges, like deciding who to spend her time with (something similar to Minimus and Sky but better, with his new friends from that school and his old friends from Royal prep) or things like that.

However, I also see another option where Sofia doesn't directly learn the lessons through her own problems, but by helping others.

For example, like that episode where she helps Hildegard understand Clio. Imagine Sofia has a problem, and by helping other people, she finds a solution to her own issue, How, going back to the example, maybe helping another person she realizes that she unintentionally did the same thing with someone else and wasn't being very understanding with a friend or something like that.

Although I understand this show is for the new generation, so I won't worry too much about what happens. But I do hope they keep in mind the surprising number of young adult-adult fans the show has.

I admit I would like to see some long-form stories in the background throughout the likely self-contained episodes the series will have. Something like the Cedric wanting to take the throne plot, which was a secondary story throughout the series, so to speak.

Also, I have to admit that I would love if this school and series were a bit like a mini Howards where Sofia faces magical things with her friends, because, that's another point. I would like Sofia to learn to work with her friends as a team by having magical adventures. Learning to delegate tasks, to trust others more, let her friends help her and not just her help them, etc.

So, part of the premise of Sofia the First: Royal Magic will be her "discovering that she is the most magical princess in the EverRealm" while at this royal school for magic.

Rather than so much than magical ability, however, I think that even more means that her own special kind of magic comes from what a kind, brave, loyal person she is (like how she learned in the first series that's what being a princess was truly all about).

My only concern about that is that they risk repeating themselves. Now that she's learned what being royal is all about, she has to learn what being magical is all about, and "learning how to master her magical abilities" is what Craig Gerber also said is part of the premise. But it could definitely be a fresh spin for the next 'book' in her 'story' if they do it just right.

But the thing is, Craig also said Sofia will be "learning new skills and encountering stories that teach her about teamwork and friendship and leadership.” And... she already learned all that throughout the original show; heck, by the end of the series, she became the Protector of the EverRealm. I know they're trying to reach and teach a new generation of young kids, but I just really hope they can do so while still applying what Sofia already learned during the original show instead of totally resetting her character. That would seem to be a very tricky balance... even tho Sofia is still human, and there are always more things to learn about herself (life is one great continuous learning journey with new challenges)!

And something else I feel would be too redundant is if she is terrified of fitting in at Charmswell (her new school) with her new classmates, scared she doesn't have what it takes to be a magical princess, blah blah.

What are your thoughts?

It's a good point to consider that, for branding and merchandise reasons, they might look to change the amulet, though I feel like it’s already something iconic to the series, and I’m not sure how much they would risk changing artifacts.

In any case, I think, as you said, it might undergo a change in appearance. However, within the series, I think Sofia could go through something similar to Elena’s journey with her scepter and later with her emotional powers.

Personally, I would like the amulet to continue its path with another person, since the idea has always been for it to reach the hands of princesses who need its help. Maybe, at a point where Sofia no longer needs the amulet and realizes that just as it helped her find her way, it could help someone else. (Or bring them a bunch of villains who want to rob them, lol)

Besides, I doubt anyone in the family would want the amulet knowing all that comes with it.

If they opted for a more dramatic route, I’d like to see the amulet lost in a great sacrifice for Sofia, which, at the end of the day, makes her realize that she is much more powerful on her own than because of the magic the necklace gave her.

The Amulet of Avalor: A blessing and a curse in the new series.

I have a feeling they're going to end up having to reduce the narrative influence of the Amulet of Avalor.

When it comes to the amulet, it's possible that they reduce its powers in some way. Or magically signals that Sofia no longer needs it, and that it should look for a new carrier, breaking her promise for the greater good.

( Or will it continue in the family? Will Miranda and Roland have a new member in the family? An adopted child, or perhaps a baby? Perhaps Aunt Tilly and Sir Bartley will have a child and Sofia will present the child with the amulet. )

Perhaps Sofia loses the amulet, implying that the amulet would be found by a new princess without Sofia having to break her promise.

Or, in a more "dark" alternative, the amulet becomes defective or breaks completely. Making it impossible for it to be used by her.

( Until it is fixed in a convenient way, so that it doesn't break the lore logic about the amulet being worn by multiple Disney princesses.)

Because its powers if they were "unlocked" at the grand finale of Sofia The First, and with Sofia's character development, the chances of her being cursed by it are reduced.

And if Sofia, using the Amulet of Avalor, doesn't have many challenges for her, what will the next challenges be?

On the merchandising front: if they decide to reuse the amulet, it's possible it will get an updated look.

If it already changed color during the series after Elena was freed from inside it, it's likely that it will undergo design changes in the new series as well.

( Whether it will get better or worse is debatable.)

What if they decide that the amulet is no longer viable as a recognizable source of merchandising? And that they need something more iconic and unique for the new series?

They will probably come up with some excuse as to why the amulet is no longer present, and have come up with a new "more magical and fantastic " item for Princess Sofia.

( Which also, will be equally debatable whether the change will be for the better or worse.)

And you guys? What do you think about this? I would like to know your opinion.
