I love the analogy of the Mirror of Erised. Obviously not quite the same thing, but similar tendencies, and with similar dangers. Very fitting!

You know, it's odd? I missed the whole initial fad, and only around 2018 or so got around to reading the books to see what all the hype had been about. (Even for a millennial I'm old, and I grew up in a pretty backward corner of the country; I've never played a Pokemon game, either...)

So why's it me, and not an actual fan, who should be the one to come up with Rowling's serial-numbers-filed-off Echo and Narcissus as the example?
