We'd just come back from battling frankenmonsters, killer clowns, two very angry dinosaurs, and a partridge in a pear tree to find that the dome we used to cover up the face pumpkins wasn't adequate at all.
They seem to have agglomerated into one giant pumpkin and vine monster. Dr. Numbskull got very excited about that, and has gone off to experiment some with the effects of bottling up magic.
I tried telling him that bottling it up and preventing leakage tends to concentrate magic, and make it more powerful, much like my escapade with the burning moon. I also tried telling him that he already knew about it, since he's the one who outfitted me with the firesuit on the moon, and he just shouted something about "verification" and "field analysis". I don't think he's coming out of his laboratory any time soon.
