You Don't Have to Hocus-Focus: How The First Day Changed Principal Bump and The Owl House

Principal Bump had a great story arc through the first two seasons of The Owl House, but what was the single greatest moment on that arc? It had to be The First Day, when Luz convinced him to allow multi-track studies at Hexside-that would end up putting him quite clearly on the side of The Owl House's good guys.
Of course Emperor Belos would quite rather nobody multi-track, because committing to a coven early means you have a lot of time to rationalize your decision to join a coven. The Owl House is sneaky like that. But thanks to Luz and The First Day, Principal Bump eventually decided to stop playing Belos's game.

People sleep on Bump's character development, he went from really strict and cold towards his students to genuinely nice and caring about them, even fighting the government to protect them.

1:21 also one of the most versatile tracks, and one that Luz can do traditionally as a human

[@inkedseahear]

I do like to say he's pressured for Coven money given the costs of repairs comes from Luz & Co.'s shenanigans

[@greenstarplayer650]

I would probably make the same choice as Luz. I want to learn a little of every track. I am interested in every track. I want to learn as much about magic as possible and see what every magic track is like. My reasons Potions: Probably a lot of possibilities and uses. Healing: I can heal myself and others and it looks like it contains protective magic. Bard: I love music. Abomination: Complete control of a substance and shape it at you will. Also some helpers could be useful in live. Illusion: Can trick others, hide myself or you can theoretically make your own movie with special effects Beast keeping: I love animals. Construction: One of the tracks I would probably not choose if my option are limited but the possibilty to build anything you want is great. Oracle: Spirits, Fortune telling, Mind magic and communication? Heck yeah Plants: I like plants and can be very useful especially with other tracks like potions.

potions: able to a diverse set of things without wasting bile, also gives me slight stuff on plant, beast, and healing tracks abominations: able to do more things at once without jeopardizing myself + I can mix abomination mud with potions oracle: knowledge is power, also combining the spirits and mental stuff with abominations could do me good bard: hidden spellcasting + I have ASD and ADHD and my stims are rhythmic and music related causing me to be more inconspicuous illusions: manipulation of perception + the divination and spiritual stuff of Oracle is OP

[@cakeydude4965]

I'd Choose Abomination, Illusion, Bard & Healing Tracks Abomination: I CAN HAVE SOMEONE TO REACH THE SELVES FOR ME ANYTIME I WANT Illusion: Invisibility Bard:Change the flavor of drinks by SOUND & Just the music part Healing: I'LL NEVER PAY U.S. HOSPITAL BILLS MUA HA HA HA HA HA HA

[@boopatboopsStupidity5551]

I would want to study bard and abomination

[@nightmarefreddle4174]

I would want to study the Illusion, Plant, Potion, and Bard tracks. Reasons, (1) I like to hide behind something fake, (2) I love wildlife, (3) I enjoy science in when we combine chemicals for an experiment, and (4) I really love music

[@josh13ua55]
