A Closer Look at the SVTFOE Book of Spells: Magic at Your Fingertips

By admin

The "Svtfoe book of spells pdf" is a popular resource for fans of the animated television series "Star vs. the Forces of Evil". The book, which is based on the show, provides an in-depth look into the magical world of Star Butterfly and her friends. In the book, readers can find a wealth of information about the various spells and incantations used by the characters in the series. The spells range from simple charms and enchantments to powerful and complex rituals. One of the highlights of the "Svtfoe book of spells pdf" is the detailed illustrations included throughout the text.



Literature / The Magic Book of Spells

The Magic Book of Spells is a Defictionalization of the royal spellbook from Star vs. the Forces of Evil, released in September 2018. It was written by series creator Daron Nefcy, alongside crew members Domnic Bisignano and Amber Benson, and illustrator Devin Taylor.

  • Skywynne, Queen of Hours, who penned the current version of the book after the original was lost in a fire and mastered a number of new spells.
  • Jushtin the Uncalculated, who was looking forward to hanging out with his "crew" and doing advanced mathematics as Mewni's first "Boy-Queen" until his sister, Solaria, was born.
  • Solaria the Monster Carver, who waged a fierce war against the monsters for control of Mewni.
  • Eclipsa, Queen of Darkness, who infamously left her Mewman husband for a monster.
  • Festivia the Fun, a party-loving queen who took over after Eclipsa was ousted from power.
  • Dirhhennia the Heaped, who was more interested in drawing spheres on the walls and writing bad poetry than ruling her kingdom.
  • Crescenta the Eager, an overachiever who took over from her older sister and invented a vast number of spells, many of dubious usefulness.
  • Rhina the Riddled, a scholarly queen who was fond of riddles.
  • Celena the Shy, a bashful girl who was skilled at potion-making and fortune-telling.
  • Estrella the Drafted, who was known less for her skills at magic and more for her skills at art.
  • Comet the Chef, Star's late grandmother and a skilled cook and diplomat.
  • Moon the Undaunted, Star's own mother.
  • Star herself, Star the Underestimated.

One of the highlights of the "Svtfoe book of spells pdf" is the detailed illustrations included throughout the text. These illustrations bring the spells to life, making it easier for readers to understand and visualize each one. Furthermore, the book offers background information on the history and lore of the magical universe featured in the show.

This book contains examples of:

  • Abdicate the Throne:
    • Lyric, Skywynne's mother, abdicated after a short reign because she was bored. This was one of the reasons why her daughter, Skywynne, wanted to be a better queen than her.
    • Jushtin became the first male heir to the Butterfly throne, but he was shortly forced to give up both his claim of succession and his Magic Wand to his younger sister, Solaria, since a male ruler in a matriarchy wasn't acceptable to the public. Skywynne deeply regretted letting this happen to her son, because she always believed he was destined for greatness from the moment he was born. However, Jushtin doesn't blame his mother since she was keeping up appearances, and he was rather disinterested in ruling anyway.
    • Dirhhennia the Heaped was forced to supersede her claim to the throne because of her mental oddness, abysmal magic skills, and obsession with balls. The throne would be given to her younger sister, Crescenta.

    Sixteen Mewmans were lost to space. They ended up inhabiting another planet which is now a bustling world. One day they will attack Mewni.

    • Queen Skywynne created a spell to temporarily raise the undead, and once blew up a dimension in a fit of pique from dealing with her lazy, ungrateful subjects. After she gained some assertiveness, she told said subjects that they will have to work to support themselves from now on.
    • The perky go-getter Queen Crescenta was a bossy, borderline tyrant who manipulated everyone with her charms and cutesy appearance, and orchestrated a campaign to set up the Avarius family (Ludo's ancestors) as puppet rulers for the monsters.
    • Glossaryck tells the reader that if they are not a princess, but rather "some kind of hairy birdling or lizard man", then they won't be on the Magic High Commission, but he congratulates them for stealing the book. This is shortly after Glossaryck mentions he can see the future, so he's most likely deliberately addressing Ludo and Toffee.
    • Several of the spells from the book appeared in episodes of Star vs. Skywynne devleoped the time-freezing spell from "Freeze Day" and the Warnicorn Stampede from "By the Book", and Crescenta was responsible for the spell that gave Marco a living tentacle for an arm in "Monster Arm".
    • Star accidentally spilled glitter-glue on Festivia's "flame-proof rainbow" spell, which is why she had a bad habit of conjuring flaming rainbows in "Star Comes to Earth".
    • Dirhhennia's chapter includes a "Wanted!" Poster for Bobipsa the Barbarian, the notorious baby-eater mentioned in "Stranger Danger".
    • Star's chapter includes the full text of the "My Thoughts on Marco" chapter from her diary, seen in "My New Wand".
    • "Page Turner" establishes the spellbook's table of contents are in the middle of the book, rather than the start. Guess where this book's table of contents are?
    • Spells used at different points in the series frequently show up in different chapters, like Releaseo Demonius Infestica from "Monster Arm", Warnicorn Stampede from "By the Book", and Levitato from "The Hard Way". Even blink-and-you'll-miss-it spells like What To Do If You Delete Gravity appear.
    • The "chapter" after Star's is little more than a single page of scratches, explained as Ludo's futile attempts to write his own chapter in "Book Be Gone".
    • Celena was born from an abusive, loveless marriage between the previous queen and her demon husband. Her father died before she was born when her mother used a heartbreak spell to end the abuse, only for her magic to apply it literally. It's no wonder Celena became so shy.
    • Moon lost her mother because Comet tried the peaceful approach to end the mewman-monster wars, only for Toffee to assassinate her. It was one of the reasons why she became an anti-monster bigot like some of her predecessors.
    • Comet's chapter talks a lot about how she hopes the upcoming banquet with Archduke Batwin will bring peace between monsters and Mewmans. hopes that end up dashed when she's assassinated by Toffee, the apparent successor to Seth of Septaris.
    • Star writes that she hasn't written a single spell down in the book, but promises to write some after the weekend, where she and Janna will have a séance with a dead clown (and, as in "Bon Bon the Birthday Clown", Ludo will steal the book from her).
    • John Roachley is one for Tom, being related to the Lucitors except with none of the latter's empathy and drive for self-improvement. This is what got Roachley killed when he wouldn't change or stop his abuse of Rhina the Riddled, who accidentally murdered him with a heartbreak spell.
    • Solaria turns out to be one for her successors, especially Comet. While Comet advocated for mewman-monster equality, Solaria believed all monsters should be dead, which got her killed. It helps that Solaria wore red, while Comet as well as most of the queens wore blue.
    • Most queens won't hide their disdain for monsters. Crescenta sought to "improve" the monsters' poor conditions by promoting the Avarius family royalty, giving the Butterfly family political pawns. Solaria is perhaps the most extreme example, with her founding of the Solarians and her attempt to create a spell specifically for monster genocide. Her "guide" on how to kill monsters even spoke of them being happier when they're dead.
    • The book also delves into the other side of things: Toffee and other monsters like him are so filled with hatred at the mewmans that they refuse to see them as anything other than the real monsters in all this. This extends to completely innocent people, and to those like Queen Comet, who genuinely tried to end the conflict for good via giving the monsters true equality. Just as Comet was about to succeed, Toffee murdered in her cold blood rather than to allow peace to happen.
    • One of Festivia's many posts is randomly saying how much she loves pie. "Escape From the Pie Folk" shows she's actually from a clan based around pie.
    • Moon notes the importance of knowing how to reverse all your spells, least you'll just be "half a magic wielder". On the next page, she says she doesn't need to know how to reverse her spell that makes her husband make the bed. The ultimate conflict of the season is based on Moon granting power she wrongfully assumed she could revoke.
    • Had Skywynne stood her ground and not given birth to a daughter, Solaria the Monster Carver wouldn't have existed. Instead, Jushtin would have become a powerful mage and the first Butterfly King of Mewni, who would have led his people into a golden age.
    • Solaria's failure to finish her Total Annihilation spell. People like Pony Head and Tom Lucitor wouldn't have been born if the spell was actually finished, and the Butterflys would've lost two powerful allies in the process.
    • Solaria's extremist methods against monsters were because she did try the peaceful way like her brother Jushtin did, only to fail horribly every time. She was also more or less thrown into the ongoing war with monsters as soon as she was old enough to inherit the throne and royal wand.
    • Moon's overprotectiveness towards her daughter Star and anti-monster racism was because Comet tried advocating for mewman-monster equality and nearly succeeded, only to end up assassinated by Toffee out of sheer hatred.
    • Only the thirteen book-holders since Skywynne have chapters (and illustration); the book is actually a new one following the original's destruction at Skywynne's Wand Passing ceremony. It's mentioned there were twenty-six earlier queens, which included Skywynne's mother Lyric and Soupina the Strange.
    • Rhina's demon husband John Roachley is not shown and our only description is that she considered him a cruel husband.
    • She tried to make a spell that would cause Reynaldo the Bald Pate to appreciate her riddles more. It worked a little too well, to the point where Reynaldo was compelled to speak only in riddles, forcing him to step down as a member of the Magic High Commission.
    • She got together with John Roachley via an Arranged Marriage, only to discover her husband was every inch the monster he was. While she was pregnant with Celena the Shy, she tried using a heartbreak spell so the abuse would end, except her magic took it literally and killed Roachley.
    • Comet was a loving mother when she was alive. Her card featured her looking adoringly at a baby Moon who's pulling on her dress.
    • Skywynne loved both of her children, and had high hopes for her son Jushtin. She wanted Jushtin to be a good king by naming him her heir, but because Mewni is matriarchal, she had to make him supersede his claim to the throne as soon as she was pregnant with his sister. Jushtin doesn't blame his mother since she was putting up appearances for her people and he was disinterested in ruling, and loves her all the same.
    • Despite her many accomplishments, Crescenta envied Dirhhennia's ability to find happiness in things such as going on dates with a boyfriend.
    • It's implied that Solaria felt this way towards the founding of her family's kingdom, seeing the previous queens as too soft and that her rule was "better".
    • Solaria waged a fierce war against the monsters out of desire to protect Mewni from them, only to gradually become vicious and deranged herself as the war dragged on.
    • In murdering Comet, who only wanted to end the wars between monsters and mewmans, Toffee revealed himself to be a bigot whose actions were motivated by sheer hatred, making the current conflicts suffered by Moon and Star his fault.
    • Celena, underneath her shyness, is a competent charm and potion-maker, and is extraordinarily talented in the creative arts, especially writing.
    • It's implied that Crescenta's many accomplishments hid the fact that she's naturally unable to find happiness in simple things, and she constantly cast spells on herself to ensure that she stayed happy.
    • Despite Jushtin's apparent disinterest in ruling and his preferring to goof off with his friends, he knows advanced mathematics, and knows how to bring people of different races together.
    • Celena the Shy was extremely reclusive and kept to herself. This caused everyone to try get close for her to spill her secrets, presumably due to her great beauty and adorable shyness.
    • Despite her oddness and melancholic personality, Dirhhennia was able to find happiness in simple things like going on dates with her boyfriend, something that her overachieving little sister Crescenta envied.
    • Jushtin was passed over as heir to the throne in favor of his younger sister, Solaria, solely because of his gender. but a closer look at the siblings as individuals show he would have been the superior candidate for the throne; he had the social skills and charisma to bring people from different kingdoms and races together. Solaria, on the other hand, was a racist extremist whose hatred of monsters consumed and eventually killed her.
    • Skywynne wanted her son Jushtin to succeed and achieve great things in his life, which was why she initially named him her heir. He ended up being known as the only Butterfly "un-queen", and while he was great at diplomacy, none of his accomplishments were celebrated or officially recorded, suggesting that Mewni wanted to forget that a Butterfly male was ever made liable for the throne.
    • Comet was an active supporter of mewman-monster equality. Her assassination by Toffee led to her daughter Moon becoming a bigot out of grief.
    • Festivia and Solaria play it straight, as they were both 6'1" and 6'3" respectively by the time they became Queens.
    • Jushtin is just behind Festivia at 6'0". His case is subverted in that his claim to the Butterfly throne was superseded once his mother, Skywynne, was pregnant with Solaria, the "true" heir. By the time Solaria became queen, she was three inches taller than her older brother at 6'3".
    • Solaria the Monster Carver is a genocidal extremist hellbent on eradicating all monsters on Mewni. Her daughter Eclipsa fell in love with a monster and gave birth to Meteora after eloping with him.
    • Festivia was a fun-loving queen who used magic to turn herself into the perfect party host. Her oldest daughter Dirhhennia is a chronically depressed woman with an obsession for balls.
    • Comet advocated for mewman-monster equality and nearly succeeded in ending the war, until Toffee assassinated her out of sheer hatred. Her daughter Moon became a racist bigot out of grief.
    • Festivia has long, bushy hair unlike most of the Butterfly queens, who kept their hair groomed and pretty. Some of her descendants would keep this hairstyle as well.
    • Dirhhennia's hair looks like black heap of sludge dumped on her head, emphasizing her depression and making her look slovenly compared to the other queens.
    • Rhina's hair is long and bushy, adding to her Absent-Minded Professor appearance.
    • Glossaryck's bucket list is loaded with ridiculous things he's checked off, like "direct a movie", "create a new language", and "be a bridesmaid". "Die and be reborn" has been checked off four times (one occurred in "Rest in Pudding", possibly another when the first version of the book was destroyed in a castle fire).
    • One of the last entries in Queen Rhina's chapter notes that she finally remembered what the red ribbon tied to her arm is for, but doesn't elaborate on why.
    • In the part of Eclipsa's chapter written in Low Mewman, when describing her "darkest spell", she heavily suggests she used the spell once before and saw its effects on Septarians first-hand, but doesn't go any deeper than that.
    • Crescenta the Eager would've never become queen if her older sister Dirhhennia hadn't been born with untreated mental disorders.
    • Jushtin the Uncalculated is also a spare, by virtue of his gender. Skywynne originally named him her heir because she wanted her beloved son to achieve great things. This is how Jushtin ended up with the Royal Magic Wand and the Book of Spells, when traditionally it was passed from mother to daughter. But because Mewni is matriarchal, Skywynne ended up conceiving a daughter to appease her subjects, and Jushtin was forced to both supersede his claim to the throne, and give up the family heirlooms Skywynne wanted him to use to Solaria. This incident became one of Skywynne's deepest regrets.
    • This was a trait of Skywynne during her reign. When she was pregnant with Solaria, she forced her son Jushtin to abdicate the throne and took his Magic Wand away from him. However, Jushtin doesn't resent her for it due to personal disinterest in ruling, and suspects she only did so to please her subjects, who would never accept a male ruler in a matriarchal kingdom. He was right; Skywynne deeply regretted what she had to do in private, because she believed her son was destined for greatness from the moment he was born. And when dealing with lazy, ungrateful subjects became too much, Skywynne hit a Rage Breaking Point and blew up an entire dimension with her magic.
    • Crescenta had this trait as well. Before she met her "gal pal" Emily, she would constantly cast a spell on herself that would get rid of all her negative emotions and thoughts.
    • Festivia saw it necessary to keep her subjects happy and satisfied with endless parties while monsters were besieging her kingdom from all sides. She kept this up for five years.
    • Jushtin was seen as one by the public because of his gender and weaker magic. His mother, Skywynne, wanted him to achieve great things so she named him her heir, but her subjects pressured her into having another child. Once Solaria was born, Jushtin was superseded in favor of his sister. Ironically, he turned out to be a better candidate because of his charisma and diplomatic skills.
    • Solaria turned out to be this; despite Mewni's matriarchal traditions deeming her the rightful heir to the throne, she became a genocidal extremist whose actions against monsters affected her successors once she became queen, and nearly undid all of Jushtin's diplomacy with the Pony Heads and Lucitors.

Me (I said that) - PROSHIPPERS DNI

    Hey, I'm writing a complete rewrite of SVTFOE. I've been following this blog for a while now, and you have good ideas. Any suggestions for me?

    Thanks. I feel honored you’d ask me for advice. @dappercritter and I have actually been plotting a Season 4 rewrite, and we have tons of ideas that would take awhile to jot down in one post. If either of you are up for a group chat, we could discuss it. As for advice at the top of my head, I’ve got a few suggestions:

    • For reasons I’ve mentioned a thousand times before, killing Toffee was a mistake. Don’t do it. Especially since Moon got off with a slap on the wrist for committing the same crimes that Toffee got melted for.
    • Since we can all agree Ludo in the Wild was the second best episode (right behind Mewnipendence Day), that should be the staple for building up the villains of the show. Heinous definitely needed her own “Ludo in the Wild” episode before Monster Bash to be better eased into her Meteora Arc. And Moon and Mina need episodes like that as well. Probably even Toffee, either for a redemption, backstory, or just a closure arc.
    • Speaking of Ludo, he should be acknowledged more as the morally grey character he is, rather than the “poor uwu baby who did nothing wrong” everyone makes him out to be. A moment in the spotlight to either acknowledge that he can help instead of harm, or that he still can’t be trusted, or both, would be appreciated.
    • In my opinion, an acknowledgement that Tom only really bettered himself as a person just so Star would like him (going all the way back to Blood Moon Ball) when he should’ve been doing that for himself is a much more satisfying end to their relationship than just “we’re going different ways”.
    • FINISH 👏 YOUR 👏 SUBPLOTS 👏. There’s a difference between leaving things ambiguous/providing barely enough hints for the audience to decipher the rest and just straight-up not tying up loose ends, and Star Vs was notorious for the latter. I’m talking Monster Arm, Shastacan’s death, Eclipsa’s crystallization, the rebellion against Comet, etc. I’m not saying you have to have a whole episode dedicated to explaining what happened here and there (in fact that’d be in poor taste). Just sprinkle the clues throughout the whole show and let the audience fill in the gaps.
    • Make the Book of Spells more relevant to the main plots, just so we’re not missing half the story by not reading it.
    • Lastly, if you’re looking for advice on an ending where magic doesn’t get destroyed, you’ve come to the wrong blog. I didn’t actually think they’d go through with it, but I very much enjoyed and supported Star’s decision. There’s plenty of instances throughout small parts of the show and in the Book of Spells where magic indeed was too dangerous and chaotic for even the most skilled spellcasters to control, so it’s not that hard to justify destroying magic in a rewrite. Perhaps it just needs a little more acknowledgment of the pros and cons, such as the way the aftermath of war and prices we pay to win will always be bittersweet.
    • Alternatively, if you really don’t like the idea of magic getting destroyed, rest assured there’s still plenty of spiritual and supernatural wonders in the Star Vs universe that destroying magic didn’t get rid of. Even newer, safer and more simple forms of it could pop into existence here and there, and only to certain people. Or to everyone, just really watered down. Whatever seems fair and not likely to come back and bite the main cast.

    You’ve left me a lot to think about, thanks!

    And while I’m not going to permanently destroy magic, I am going to make the end goal to purify it from a corrupting influence that IS NOT TOFFEE, I CANNOT STRESS HOW NOT-TOFFEE IT IS, and make it, in a word, safer for everyone involved.

    A full rewrite?! WOW! I’m impressed! You’re braver and more creative than I am that’s for sure.

    I strongly agree with all the points, @full-moon-phoenix made and I’m glad they helped. They are absolute musts since these are some of the biggest problem areas the show suffered from. Fix these, and you’re on the fast track to success, IMHO.

    I seriously considered not permanently destroying magic at one point but I moved on after seeing that the negatives of the magic’s existence outweighed it’s pros. So, be warned, you may have an uphill battle ahead of you. But if you persist, I bet you could come up with another great alternative ending! Plus, I’d be happy to discuss some of my old ideas with you as well.

    I don’t have any group chats as of this moment, but I’m definitely open.

    Until then, you know where to find us, my fellow fix writer.

    2. Mike - 2 stars - While I am a huge fan of "Svtfoe", I was disappointed with the "Svtfoe book of spells pdf". The writing felt rushed and lacked the wit and charm of the show. Additionally, the book seemed to focus more on spells that were already revealed in the series, rather than introducing new and exciting magical elements.

    3. Sarah - 3 stars - As a fan of the show, I was excited to dive into the "Svtfoe book of spells pdf". While it did provide some interesting background information on certain spells, I found the organization to be confusing. The book jumped around from topic to topic without a clear structure, making it difficult to follow along.

It was an okay read, but not something I would highly recommend.
    4. Josh - 2 stars - As someone who usually enjoys companion books for shows, I was disappointed with the "Svtfoe book of spells pdf". The information provided felt sparse and didn't add much to the overall understanding of the show. The layout and design of the book were also lackluster, making it feel like a cheap cash-grab rather than a thoughtful companion piece. I was expecting more substance and depth, but was let down by this book. Overall, it felt like a missed opportunity to enhance the "Svtfoe" experience.
