References
- The elemental forces mentioned are a reference to the cartoon show Captain Planet. The powers that combined to form Captain Planet were, in order, Earth, Fire, Wind, Water, and Heart; the phrase "And what's the deal with 'heart' anyway?" refers to the fact that the fifth element, Heart, is often ridiculed.
- Oddly enough, the 5 elements are not listed in the 'correct' order in the skill description. Perhaps the order they are in is a result of wanting "Earth, Wind, and Fire" to be in that order.
- The name of the skill could be a reference to the first Discworld novel "The Colour of Magic". In the Discworld universe, the number eight has powerful magical properties and importance, and is unsafe for wizards to say.
- The "Spirit of St. Louis" mentioned in the casting text is a reference to the airplaine Charles Lindbergh used to make the first solo non-stop flight across the Atlantic ocean in May 1927.
- "concentrate, meditate, regulate, the number eight," is a reference to Mediate by INXS (where the entire song is rhymes ending with the "-ate" sound).
