Magic Mixies Magical Misting Cauldron

The **Magic Mixies Magical Misting Cauldron** is a toy created by Moose Toys in late 2021. It is a large plushy Mixie that comes with a Cauldron and a light-up Wand. The Cauldron mists and creates spells.

Each cauldron retails for $69.99, while refill packs retail for $9.99

## Features

The main draw of the Magic Mixies are the unboxing gimmick, however there exist features beyond this.

### Create Mode

"Create Mode" is a setting on the Cauldron that is the mode needed to unbox the Mixie for the first time, but the cauldron can be used in this mode again.

The cauldron first must be filled with water, after which it will create a bubbling sound effect. After some time has passed, the cauldron will make three tapping sounds. The user must tap the cauldron three times with the Wand in response. If successful, a triumphant sound will play and the cauldron will create further bubbling sounds and the spell-cycle continues.

Although the intital unboxing of the Mixie includes different Ingredients for the user to mix into the water, these elements are not wholly neccessary for the cauldron to advance through the different stages. There are seven stages in all. Once the seventh stage is complete, the cauldron will emit a mist and then the bowl will flip, concealing the liquid and revealing the Mixie inside (or if the cauldron is being re-used, whatever is placed in the cauldron).

#### Resetting/Cleanup

After a "create mode" session, the bottom half of the cauldron can be unscrewed and emptied. The bottom half can be fully submerged in water for cleaning, while the top half should only be cleaned with a damp cloth and not submerged. The bottom can then be screwed back on.

The Mixie has a hole on its back which can be used to line it up in the cauldron to reveal again. Alternatively, the included gem case can be used instead, which features a similar hole. Once either case or Mixie are set into place, they can be rotated clockwise and the included "Reset Key" can be used to flip the bowl around.

### Spell Mode

Spell Mode is almost identical to Create Mode, but excludes the misting effect and reveal. Cleanup for this mode is to simply dump out the contents of the cauldron.

### Mixie

The Mixie is mostly plush, but has a hard plastic head. It emits sounds and has a large lit-up gem which it uses to communicate with its user. There is a petting sensor located above its gem. The Mixie also has an energy level which is depleted through magic usage (activites involving the Wand) and replenished through nurture (petting). The gem will change color according to its energy level, with red indicating a weak energy level, blue an average amount, and gold the highest.

#### Spell Mode

Tapping the Wand on the Mixie's gem will allow the Mixie to cast spells.

#### Wish Mode

Tapping the Wand twice on the Mixie's gem will allow the Mixie to possibly grant a wish. If the gem lights up green, the wish has been granted. A red gem means the wish has been denied. A higher energy level increases the possibility of the wish being granted.

#### Enchantment Mode

Holding the Wand in place on the gem for a few seconds will allow the Mixie to assist its user in spell casting. It can be sat on the rim of the cauldron and it will chatter magical words. Petting the Mixie will remove it from this mode.

#### Sleep Mode

After being left alone for a time, it will enter sleep mode. Pressing the power switch twice will wake it up.
