With Dan's commentary, it would seem that Kevin is a more recent creation, rather than an inert artifact from a previous system. He not only knows modern English, but also gets Elizabethan English significantly wrong AND thinks the 'Ye Olde English' sounds sophisticated and 'mystical.' As for why Kevin, a wizard training device, would be considered useless (considering that even simple and benign wands can be used to awaken magic), he seems rather obnoxious and temperamental. The DGB probably just figured no one would be able to put up with Kevin long enough to get any use out of him.

Now you have me wondering if one of the magical artifacts might be an Endless Barrel of Exposition.

I think Kevin can only teach magic to wizards (and only wizards), he can't cast any magic himself, except perhaps in the process of teaching his apprentice (in which case either he doesn't have enough power to harm the Golem or he knows Ashely isn't ready to learn such spells and isn't willing or able to bend the rules on when he can use magic). As for the magpie, first of all we don't know it's going after the Golem - it could be going after a fourth, as yet unseen magical artifact. Secondly, while all these other artifacts activating around it might be what triggered it to act, it's also possible that it had been intentionally shut down and the magic released by the destruction of the Dewitchery Diamond turned it back on. In fact, I suspect that all these artifacts activating now is only related to the Magic Change in the sense that there are more potentially functional artifacts in the facility now than there were earlier in the day; I think it is the energy from the destruction of the diamond that's actually turning everything on. (Which means the same thing would have happened on a smaller scale even if Magus had done his resurrection trick before the Change. Pandora probably knew about this and didn't tell him, hoping to watch the fireworks; she'll be disappointed she missed it.)

Possibly the Endless Barrel of Exposition is disguised as a wand, and has been dubbed "Kevin".

Maybe he just identifies as male. After all he isn't referred to as the Demonic Drake.

April 23 in EGS History: 2002 - Nanase wins her match with Elliot, and celebrates with a kiss, much to Sarah's shock. 2003 - Tedd goes into a long spiel about why he's a pervert. 2005 - Justin has a disturbing dream about Elliot turning him into a girl. 2008 - Tedd declares his willingness to snatch skirts to help Susan, while Elliot imagines kicking Damion off a cliff. 2010 - Catalina buys plastic Mjolnir. 2012 - Tedd tells Sarah that she doesn't mind if Sarah takes a peek at her (in male or female form) in private; she also wants Sarah to have the option to publicly humiliate her. 2013 - Sarah tells Susan that she and Elliot broke up; the Susan/Elliot shippers rejoice (one in comic, no less). 2014 - Justin imagines George with pink hair. 2015 - Ashley makes her case against labels. My best guess: it's a combination of being desperate and Justin having meant he wasn't strongly attracted to Tedd rather than he wasn't attracted to Tedd even the tiniest bit. The new haircut might have something to do with it too; Justin probably finds it more attractive than Tedd's old haircut.

If you haven't listened to it, I would recommend The History of English Podcast ( http://historyofenglishpodcast.com/ ). Also *groan*

Awesome. It's been so long since we last saw the Demonic Duck. I've missed her. <3

I'm reviving my theory that Helena and Demetrius are the "friends" that Edward enlisted in the investigation of Pandora and her "Egg/Hawk" warning. Magus' arrival into the main universe was several months before Susan and Nanase's trip to France, Helena and Demetrius were chasing Magus, the whole "you do not belong here!" stuff would have been because the nature of Pandora's warning gave the impression that Magus was a threat that needed to be dealt with. Of course Helena and Demetrius would have been taking the "shoot first ask questions later" but if they had reason enough to believe that asking wouldn't get anything...

At this rate, sooner or later, we will all be singing for Meow Mix. WHERE ARE THE BUN-BUNS?!?!

I really did not want to post this. But it is a cosmic force compelling this action. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ug75diEyiA0
