#also I kind of love how little we know abt Grimwalkers bc I love making theories

Minor spoilers for The Owl House season 2 (specifically “Hollow Mind” and “Clouds on the Horizon”)!

TL;DR at the end.

Does anyone else remember the theory that, when in physical contact with each other, humans provide a magic boost to witches? It came out just after “Enchanting Grom Fright”, and was based upon the fact that Luz was involved in both animating Hooty/the owl house (in “Hooty’s Moving Hassle”), and the Grom fight.

It was neither confirmed nor denied (that I know of), but it’s safe to say now that it will forever remain as a theory.

However, I was thinking more about it in general, when I realised that what the theory proposes is similar to what palisman are. The official Wiki page for palismen describes them as being, “both a loyal friend and a powerful magic-enhancer, among other possible functions.”.

Palismen are made from palistrom wood, which is what we understand is what gives them their “powerful magic-enhancer” abilities.

Now, who else do we know was made from palistrom wood (along with a Galdorstone, which also provides a “boost to magic power”)?

Hunter can’t do magic without a staff (artificial or “real”). And even then, with a palisman staff he seem to be limited to his speed/teleportation (idk what it’s called) thing, and that one instance in the “Eclipse Lake” fight against Amity, where he dispurses the energy from the ability into a lighting bolt-esque attack.

The only outlier is in “Clouds on the Horizon”, where, when he does the ability to move/push Willow out of the way, Flapjack is nowhere in sight. Obviously, not seeing Flapjack could just be because of the illusion, or it could mean he can now do it without a staff (which, woooo yeah!! Improvement!!).

So essentically what I’m saying is that, although it was originally made with Luz in mind, with what we know now, the theory works a lot better with regards to Hunter.

Obviously I have no proof of this. I’m just going off an old theory, and applying information that we have now to it. And I doubt with only one episode of season two left, as well as the three specials for season three, we’ll find out if palisman logic also applies to Hunter or not.

But it’s still fun to think about, either way, considering how little we really know about Grimwalkers.

TL;DR - Because Grimwalkers (and in turn, Hunter) are made from palistrom wood (like palismen), does that mean they can act as “powerful magic-enhancer”‘s for witches, just like palismen do?
