    Because it sure sounds like the gods are coming back this time.

    I mean, not necessarily. Thoth could be considered an "accountant", along with any being or individual whose job it is to keep an account of all that transpires throughout the cosmos. Heka could be called a librarian. And Hermes could be called a "travel agent", along with any being or individual whose job it is to facilitate travel around and across both sides of the world, up and down Ygdrassil.

    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.

    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.)

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

    All too much sense. It does strange things to the human mind to spend your time in complete isolation. Escape from that, no matter how strange the company, fills an essential need. It is difficult to see how he could have reacted otherwise.

    It's confirmed, Ellen was able to fight back because she's just that awesome. Er, I mean because she was born from magic. (And yes technically it's just speculation in-comic, but the commentary implies she's right about the "born from magic" idea.)
    Meanwhile, Sirleck looks even more creepy than usual in the last two panels, but a lot less imposing. Seen from that angle, he looks like the sort of JRPG monster you can beat in two or three turns at most if you're the proper level for the area. ...Which is rather appropriate since I expect Magus is about to trounce him.

    Whelp....
    You open one of the 996 boxes on this floor and find...
    An old, battered Victorian sleigh, with bullet holes on one side. Large red sacks hold a variety of hand-made toys, each with a tag on it, bearing a name and an address. If investigators poke into the bags, they may find toys with their names on them... Disturbingly, one bag of toys contain some obviously high-tech gear (antigrav boots, working toy flying saucers, alien dollies, and so forth.) Each name is written in unknown symbols, but the addresses are readable.

    I wonder what they might read.
    "Battlefront 2 Loot Box."
    "Stored by request of Pandora*, please return unopened."
    *The actual one, not one of the 243243243423423 Immortals calling themselves that.
    A sign reading "This side up", right at the bottom.
    "Do Not Open On Any Account. No Really Don't. We Mean It. We Are Serious. Don't Come Afterwards And Tell Us We Didn't Warn You."
    "Odd tape containing 18½ minutes of some guy named Richard rambling about how much he hates stuff."
    And so forth.

    "full of relatively useless or inert magic artifacts" eh?
    Like ones that might have been used in previous magic systems?
    That might not be so useless or inert anymore?
    Probably a red herring.
