Another note on the Lumity hints in this episode: From previous episodes, we can confidently assume Amity knew the day Luz would be starting school, and who's the first person Luz runs into? Amity, using her Abomination to carry her books. It's already been established that abomination conjuring is currently the strongest spell in her arsenal. Considering it's impractical to have an abomination hold books because of its wet texture, I think it was an improvised plan to flex on her crush.

i've been shipping Lumity since we met Amity.

Nerdwire: Did you know that Owl house has secret codes in each episode Me: Gravity falls vibes intensify

I am getting a feeling that Luz's actions won't just parallel Eda's actions, but it will mess up the order of the Boiling Isles to such as extent that it will then lead to war for the freedom of this misterious island.

I feel like the principal is sick of the rule of one coffin. Maybe deep down he wants his students to Express themselves.

Viney is my new favorite character, she should definitely join the bad girl coven with Luz and Eda🤘😅😂

I have one question how do they make perfect circles.

Bard: Music,Art and Drama Oracle: Career studies and also History Healing: Biology Potions: Chemistry Beast Keeping: Ecology Illusions: Physics Abomination: engineering Plant :Ecology

About Bump bending the roles; I think that he changed his mind for Luz Mainly because he owed her for saving the school from a basilisk, but also to see what a human can really do if given the chance at learning all there is in his school. Remember; this is the same guy that moved Willow to the Plant Track after watching her strut her stuff in Luz’s defense, and he knows Eda on a personal-ish level who vouches for her, but above all his main reason for letting Luz enroll was because he believed it would have proved beneficial learning experience for his school to teach a human magic. So a believe it isn’t so much out of character for him to prioritize his students above all.

*Character names “BARKus.” who communicate by barking.* Nerdwire: CaT bOI!!!

I think you forgot that that the Headteacher kinda think himself that he's seperated from the Emperor Hand? Don't forgot the episode when Eda went to him about letting Luz into his school, he agreed that Luz will be under his protection given that Luz is connect to Eda, the most wanted person in the Boiling Isle! Otherwise he could keep her to bait out Eda for his sister to capture her!

When I first saw these two characters interact I just knew that they was going to be shipped.

People: Doesn’t ship Lumity Grom: *N O*

One thing I noticed about Bump is when he mentions Eda is the only other student who even considered talking all the tracks but never got the chance, he has a noticeable frown on his face as he says it. By Eda's uniform she was also in the potions track like Luz was at the start of the episode. I believe Bump recognizes that by forcing Eda on that track it caused her to rebel against the system, ultimately causing her to drop out, which deprived a talented witch of the best possible magical education. Seeing Luz has a similar inquisitive mind (and why wouldn't she as Eda's apprentice) he's not about to make the same mistake. As for ignoring the rules, I don't think he is because he says "No one does that" when Luz suggests it, not "you can't do that" I think that means you can STUDY multiple types of magic but its a subpar option since you can only join one coven which leaves you only with USE of one magic, making studying more then 1 track a waste and a suboptimal use of learning time.

When asking whether two characters are gay for each other or not, I always think "If these were opposite sex characters, would these hints and actions be perceived as romantic?" The answer is most often yes. Good way to disarm the people that say "wHY doES EvERytHinG HaVe tO Be Gæ?"

I love the ship between Amity and Luz, it's just adorable!

The real shipping bait was ep 12. This was small in comparison

Good thing I have watched the episode this morning. Did anyone see the acknowledgements of Harry Potter references in this episode?

Here's a theory: Principal Bump might actually know someone in the emperor's coven. So if he wants to, he can allow students to study more than one type of magic.

Rewatching the footage really makes it look even more like Amity likes Luz

i feel the change of heart from Mr. Bump was due to seeing the strong usage of two or more spell casting. i mean, think about it: some time in the middle of the episode, we see these same kids (And dog) mess up using two different classes and are sent to detention since he sees this as a problem than them using it right. but, near the end, we see those same students use the magic again, but to the best of both abilities. i feel he has seen what people can do and gives them a chance, like he did for Luz. i don't know, maybe that's just me thinking this.

I strongly believe the red harp coven is the Bard Coven, which may or may not use magic through musical abilities. Of course, Bards are also known for being actors and writers as well; In which case, sign me up

Check out little miss perfect. There are 2 lumity animatics. They are both cute and sad

I didn't get into owl house until season 2, so I never saw any of the early speculation videos like this one, and only checked these out after already watching all available episodes. Hoo boy. This is fun

after the grom episode ....... ya....... im very convinced amity has had a crush on luz for a while hahHAHHA

the title aged perfectly

Amity could just be worried that her friendship with Luz will end. Her friendship with Willow ended.

"so..you two go to the same school now, that doesn't change a thing..*groans*" not gonna lie, i watched ep 13 a while ago and when i first time heard her say that, it made me repeat it once more since ive always know that they wouldn't put those lines randomly as they are there for a reason and yeah, maybe its hinting something...since if they ever wanna make us think that Amity was saying those to someone, they could've placed a silhoutte of a character beside her. But no--she was yeah, what people normally do, i think, is peptalking herself. so i assume that Amity is having trouble categorizing Luz as to who she is to her, as Luz can be a box full of surprises. but--I think Amity is analyzing the past events that has happened to her the moment Luz appeared, rival to bully to possible-acquiantance, obviously she wouldn't immediately make her as her friend as she could have her own standards. but one thing for sure is that Luz caught Amity's attention.

I want to know more about these covens and how they are connected towards the ruler of the Boiling Isles.

Narrator: "She was"

I ship Lumity also I wasn't sure if that was there ship name until now

Before I was like no way there enemy’s no way one of them likes each other but then after episode 13 yeah probably makes sense it’s possible

I feel Alex hirch is giving some mystery hel

Ok so I feel like the principle is human... hear me out he covers his ears so they won’t know he’s human and he seems like he has a soft spot for luz by letting her study all the covens and the fact he let her in the school since she’s human...I don’t I might be overthinking 😅

Me: * Laughs in Grom*

Wait wait wait GUYS AMITY IS VOICED BY THE SAME PERSON THAT DID KATARA IN ATLA FREAKING EPIC

lumity be loving friendship canon entire episode . but Luz always she going be crush amity so much love.

While I know Luz got want she wanted in the end but I can't help she may bit more than she can chew? I mean what is her classes will be like or will there be another Harry Potter stab with her having a time travelling necklace and imagine her exam will be like especially if they took place on the same time???

Luz: **buys 62 notebooks** Rando: wtf-

Lumity is confirmed after the grom episode 🎉🎊🎉

This episode had a chalkful of great moments, so I am excited to see how season one ends and where is the series going to go after this.

9:20 - I am pretty sure studying multiple types of magics is okay to some degree, I mean Willow studied Abomination magic first then changed tracks. If changing tracks is fine, then studying multiple tracks has to also be fine, as what's stopping you from just switching tracks each semester to learn all tracks? I'd imagine it's more of a "You're supposed to choose one to focus on and then after school decide to lock yourself into that coven" rather than a "You're not supposed to study anything other than just one type of magic ever"

I love that one of the signed names on the wall is Sabrina....because Sabrina the Teenage Witch

2:59 I suppose the divination coven is a bit focused on necromancy (summoning the dead to see the future)

I remember what uncle iroh said "It is important to gain wisdom from many places,for if you only take it from one side it becomes regied and stale" So the principal should let the students be on multiple tracks

7:31 best moment of the episode

me realizing you called amity mittens: *SHOOK*

This aged well

how dare you say that Boscha sucks??? "Does Amity have a crush on Luz?" uh. Hello? x)

I litterally love Lumity so freaking much!!!

I just watched ep 16 and 17. Yep, Amity definitely likes her.

Magic tracks in school, are not Covens. They line up with the 9 main covens, but they aren’t permanent, and possibly not regulated. A witch must join one of the covens by the time they’re an adult. Until then, they can learn anything. They can even change tracks each new year, and probably witches aiming for the Emperor’s Coven would need to take all 9 tacks, over time. Now, does the Emperor expect singular magic study? Probably. But I think the school has leeway to teach as they wish, at risk of funding.

I can tell you RIGHT now thats its not ‘shipping bait’ lol

I think the bard track powers would be like using music to manipulate the opponents mind to get them to do what they want or confuse them

We were already told what bard track is. It’s magical music that can do different things.

I figured the only reason Luce was able to convince bump to allow mixed magic is because so many students before her complained about it to the point where he's had enough of dealing with trouble makers and it means less work for him.

I've been watching a bunch of clips of this show and I finally understand Luz's multi-colored outfit.

Principal Bump is pretty interesting to me. I mean, as a child he literally led a full-blown assualt on a school, burnt it to the ground and built a new one on the remains. I always kind of assumed that he used to be a troublemaker too but many hundreds of years of being an authority figure and having to deal with other troublemakers like Eda have mellowed him out. He's clearly not as indoctrinated to the Emperor's Coven as Lilith since he's willing to make secret deals with Eda without their knowledge. As for his power within the school... well, the school inspector the Coven sent turned out to be a Basilisk so I guess he thinks he can use that as leverage to get the funding he wanted and be able to put the multi-track students in a blindspot at least until a new inspection occurs (and given we don't know the full extent on how the education system works in the Boiling Isles, the next inspection might not be until after the Detention Track kids graduate and are forced into single-magic covens anyway).

Me seeing this after Understand Willow, Grom, and Wing it Like Witches was released: Honey, you’ve got a big Lumity storm coming

this aged well

The oracle spirit looks like a stand from Jojo’s bizarre adventures

i guess yes, thanks to amity got emotions for luz in so many ways XD, good day

Amity is crushing on Luz CONFIRMED

Noone: Amity: *gay panics* Me: yes Oh wait i have another joke Dana: How many gay panics do you want Amity to have? Me: yes

My assumption is that they can study multiple tracks as long as they only pick one coven. Maybe he restricts his students to one course of study as a matter of school policy just to make it easier for them to master one branch and pick a coven without the fear that they chose the wrong one. Viney would probably be torn between the healing and beast keeping covens, for example, but if she had selected one track early on and stuck to it then the natural and instinctive choice would be to pick that coven. It's overly restrictive but maybe he views it as a kindness.

AND THEN THE GROM EPISODE CAME ITS TOTALLY BECOMING CANON

My biggest wish: that disney is preparing an endgame with all these new cartoons, and the source of conflict could be the disaster that star butterfly caused by get rid of the magic, anne, luz and the pines twins must fix the situation...

Well, Tracks are not Covens, It can’t hurt to study multiple magic tracks because they are still going to have to pick a Coven, in fact being able to study multiple tracks might help witches know which coven they want to be on.

i love Barkus, he looks cool and i can relate to him, and plus I love animals.

the answer of this title is *YES*

I love ya Whitney! I was losing my mind over over all the world building this episode! Barkus is my new favorite character of all time!

*laughs in Grom and Wing it Like Witches*

Update from a post-Wing it Like Witches world: Yes. Yes she does.

I think bard could be like controlling minds with music like a siren for example making people fall in love with someone by playing a harp or getting someone angry by playing guitar but with magic, Making it be able to have a use in battle and entertainment.

It has been confirmed that Amity indeed does have a crush on Luz

Well, considering once they join a coven, all other magical abilities are stripped away, I don't think it can be seen as a threat. They have to choose eventually and once they do, that's it. Only one set of magical abilities. So learning more then once would be seen as a no problem

The benefit of potions track is i think if you complete it... you can start a potions buisness. Just like eda... except she didnt finish hexside.

The answer is yes

1:28 There's a paper on the stamp board that says *"BILL"* hmmmm I wonder...🤔

Eda's hair looked really nice when she was younger

I've been asking myself what Coven I would choose ever since watching "The First Day". I think either Beast Keeping, Healing, Oracle or Illusion. Beast Keeping: I love animals Healing: I wanna be helpful and I think healing is the best option for that Oracle: So mysterious! Illusion: So many interesting uses for those spells!

12:13 OOH IS IT THAT ONE THING WITH THE OWL CURSE??

Theory: Principal bump is actually punishing the mixed students by letting them study multiple tracks but by doing that they would be chased by the law in the end

After wing it like witches: oh yeah, amity definitely likes luz-

Woah yes a vid teaching us how to disipher the hidden codes wohld be so cool!! And i didnt even realize there was hidden codes in each episode I'm so excited!

4:07 say sike right now

I'm so hoping for Lumity!! Also as for Bump's 180 on multiple tracks, he may just figure 'If their going to do it at least it will be under supervision'. Where the detention track 3 were learning on their own then mixing those magics. They're now learning from teachers of both (all in Luz's case) tracks, will know how to properly do magic of those Covens. Which make's sense do you want someone learning 2 tracks, then mixing them on their own. Or having them be taught in a class by professionals who know how the magic is supposed to work, what can go wrong before it's mixed.

I just assume tracks and covens are different things. Since they say joining a coven specifically *prevents* you from being able to cast different types of magic, but the students are still able to. So the whole "no magic outside your tack" thing might not be an official law, it might just reflect poorly on a school's policies if kids study multiple covens.

Bump probably will try to justify allowing multiple track study by saying they will eventually have to pick a coven. I think he actually wants to do what's best for his students, just usually thinks the rules are the best way to do that until proven otherwise.

Is it just me or douse the person on the illusions banner look like Gus and the person on the bar track banner looks like principal bump

i like watching old videos of luamity bc i can see how wrong or right people were

I think Bump was also being extra strict on the rules while the emperor's coven inspector was in the building, possibly planning on relaxing things after he had gotten his needed money to keep the school running. He stresses this inspector a lot during the episode, and seems more scared that Luz will make the inspection go poorly than about Luz learning multiple tracks. When the inspector turned out to be a fake, there wasn't nearly as much on the line that was stopping Bump from allowing multiple tracks at the same time. I'm also not sure that the laws against mixing magic apply to witches who are still in school, though it still is stressed at school to ease witches in to the law applying to them when they graduate. Amity is on the abomination track but still has fire spells, while Willow is also seen attempting illusion spells as a kid in her memories. Its possible that this is because Amity is being groomed for an emperor's coven position, but also possible that witches are still encouraged to explore a bit of basic magic in multiple areas before attending school, to develop an interest before they commit. That could be a main focus of the baby class, actually, to help witches find which coven they want to go in to before they choose a track. Oh, and one last thing, these magic schools are fortresses with an army that have to be ready to defend themselves from rivals at all times. Principal Bump may not be as strong as the emperor's coven, but I bet he could cause some major headaches for the emperor if he chose to (the coven would have to commit significant resources to take him out), and while he plays nice with the emperor, he is a whole lot more than someone who's directly at the emperor's command. He's a bit more like a strong noble than a principal.

I also thought that Principal Bump changed his mind a little too quickly. They could have shown him being more impacted by the students use of mixed magic to save his life and everyone else's if that's what did it for him.

Also, the girl with Oracle Magic fighting Willow looks similar to the Healing Coven's leader.

Perhaps Bump just needed someone to tell him what he needed to hear since Eda tried to do the same thing when she was a student though she caused more problems then these kids ever did. Just because he needed the emperor's coven's funding doesn't mean he himself likes having to hold his students back with their rules(that and he admitted he failed them as a principle back during the convention).

Principal Bump just let them study multiple tracks. What coven they join in the end is still up to them. Willow was in the abomination track, but she was still able to do plant magic. Because she hadn't joined a coven yet and her magic wasn't sealed. That's why she was able to just switch tracks. I think the school tracks are more of a preparation for the covens.

7:57 We have Brown hair, then green with brown roots, and now green hair Amity.

This is one of my favorite episodes

This episode was really fun, I thought! And if that bard track is anything akin to the bard class in Dungeons and Dragons, that's a track I can totally get behind! \m/

This shipping is *awesome and cute* Hopefully, we can see more of these two interact some more in future episodes.
