Synopsis[]
The Mysticons must stop Proxima from acquiring ancient starfire ink from the legendary library of the Eternal Equinox, but find themselves trapped within the librarian's ancient, mystical tome. Princess Arkayna tries to reach Proxima, claiming that they can make things right together as sisters, but Proxima refuses to hear anymore of her lies. Princess Arkayna assures Proxima that she does love her as a sister and always will, which Proxima scornfully dismisses as another bold-faced lie from the Princess.
The Mysticons use their bracers to extinguish the red fire consuming the library, but Proxima manages to escape. Zarya assures her twin that they will do whatever they can to help Proxima. Back in the Star Chamber, Proxima has her Spectromancer servants scribe so she can effectively create the Dark Codex which she fixes the tainted blood-red Dragon Disk to. Her very first use of her book of evil spells is bringing forth four strong warriors whom she calls her "children."

Trivia[]
In the Episode[]
- Gandobi is revealed to have quite a natural talent for dance music as he is an excellent D.J.
- The Dragon Disk is recovered but soon snatched by a thoroughly vengeful and dejected Proxima as the new leader of the Spectral Hand. However, like the Codex, it has been drained completely dry of all of its powerful ancient light magic.
- A "Dark Pegsai" makes a reappearance since they were first created by Tazma in Episode Four, being Proxima's flying mount.
- Nova Terron is revealed to have a three centuries-year overdue book from the Library Fuzzy Was a Foz. Proxima is not impressed by his choice and wonders why she had ever looked up to him.
- Piper likes the book Green Dragons and Jam.
- Emerald reveals that fabled the Hammer of Harmon, her catchphrase of either amazement or frustration, was capable of actually writing novels.
- Choko, Piper, Zarya, and Princess Arkayna are turned into male dwarfs, with beards the same color as their hair.
- It is revealed that being inside a book nullifies all Mysticon magic and weaponry unlike being underwater
- Proxima's accusation how Princess Arkayna was always making everything worse for her is confirmed in "Eternal Starshine of the Mage's Mind" as Princess Arkayna had always ignored Proxima, completely oblivious to her heartbroken feelings of abandonment and loneliness, ever since learning she was never her twin sister in the first place but a proxy for Zarya.
- Proxima succeeds in acquiring the ancient starfire ink. She has her Spectromancers use it to create her own dark version of the Codex of light, from which she calls forth the Vexicons whom she calls "her children."
Outside the Episode[]
- The sneak preview for this episode was shortly removed from YouTube, only moments after it was added, as it was accidentally shown before the sneak peek for the previous episode.
- Proxima is the second top-level Astromancer to go down a dark path, the first being Tazma.
- This is the first time a librarian of an ancient and legendary library appears in this show.
- Piper had mentioned "tesseract" which is the main concept in the Space-Time quintet book series and one of the most powerful artifacts in the Marvel Comic books.
- It is revealed that when all four mystical Animal Bracers are used, they can create a whirlwind of color; light green, light blue, light pink and light yellow.

- Mr. Snellson: "It's not just any book. It's my new masterpiece. The Mouthy Mage and the Five Dwarves."
