So yes, roughly speaking, the eclipse could cast a sizable circular shadow on top of the titan. The umbra (darker inner shadow) cast by a total solar eclipse can have a diameter ranging from 100 km to 160 km. The state is approximately 160 mi x 80 mi (260 km x 130 km). Perhaps there not only has to be a solar eclipse, the eclipse must also cast a circular shadow on top of the Titan.īefore getting into the “why’s”, can a solar eclipse even cast an adequately-sized shadow on top of the Titan? In an interview with Collider, Dana stated that the Titan was roughly the size of Vermont. If total solar eclipses happen so often, why does the Day of Unity appears to be an event that has been planned out for decades? Why didn’t it happen sooner? It seems that there are more requirements that call for a rarer astronomical occurrence. In our world, total solar eclipses (when the entirety of the sun is covered by the moon) are rather frequent: they occur about once every 18 months. This assumes the calculations for a solar eclipse in the Demon Realm are similar to Earth’s. It’s very much like the Moonlight Conjuring where the moon must rise into a certain position in the sky for its magic to be harnessed. Trust me when I say it’s much deeper than bringing the Titan to Earth.) The first method is simple: once the sun and moon align, a special type of magic is released, beginning the spell. (I won’t get too much into what the big spell will do yet since that would require a far longer post for another day. I see two possible ways for Belos to utilize the solar eclipse to set off the big spell. Astronomical magic possesses magic far more powerful than what any one witch can acquire, so it only makes sense for Belos to utilize an astronomical event. We know from Raine in Eda’s Requiem that Belos is preparing a “big spell” for the Day of Unity. By this point, it’s a proven fact that many astronomical events in the Demon Realm have powerful magical properties. In Adventures in the Elements, the light glyph can be seen as a constellation. The wailing star from Lost in Language can bring illustrations to life. In Hooty’s Moving Hassle, the moon can conjure objects when it rises to the right position once every year. Not only that, many celestial bodies have unique magical properties. For example, abstractions of stars and planets are spotted all over King’s nursery in Echoes of the Past. But what is the significance of the Day of Unity occurring on such an event? First, we have to understand the important relationship between magic and space.Īstronomical imagery is very prominent in The Owl House. We see the astronomical event in the vision with the coven heads, but it also logically checks out: a solar eclipse is the union of sun and moon. Ever since Hunting Palismen, it’s been revealed that the Day of Unity will take place during a solar eclipse.
