Omiverse Oversight: Third Time's the Charm

This is a new kind of article were I will talk about how Ben 10 Omiverse could have been so much better. Today we will be stating with the episode Third Time's the Charm. The main thing I will be talking about is a new character introduced in this episode, Bezel. Bezel is the creator of the Charms of Bezel  which where powerful magical mcguffins in season one. Bezel himself is the most powerful magic user of all time. But here is the catch. He doesn't actually like magic. This raises to very important questions. Why does Bezel not like magic and how did Bezel become the most powerful magic user ever?

The first question is actually answered in the episode. He doesn't like how magic just does things. How their is no logic. He just can't stand it. This makes you have to ask the first question even more. Why did Bezel even study magic to the point where he is basically all powerful? Now their are to ways to look at this. The first is that he was just born with a lot of magic power like Gwen. But that's...kind of boring.

Let's make things more interesting. Bezel was a man who wanted to learn about the world. So he studied all he could. In time he found his way to a power that could change anything, magic. But Bezel was not interested in power; he wanted to learn. So he began a study of magic. He was prepared to find out how magic works and find the logic behind it. Through he researched he slowly gained power from the all the knowledge he gained, but none of it was what he wanted. He learned how to do many great things, but he never was able to figure out why magic did what it did. He came to the conclusion that magic doesn't have logic to it. So he turned his back on magic not wanting to interact with such a chaotic force. After he left the world of magic he discovered something different, the world of magic tricks. These people would stand in front of a crowed preform wondrous acts, but not by breaking the rules of the world. It's a trick. Bezel loved this idea and spends his life enjoying that.

Did I just write fan fiction? Yes I did. But like I said How Bezel became so powerful is never explained. It could have been so interesting, but no. He was just a janitor for some reason who played with magic cards.
