In the final Septimus Heap book, there is some back and forth time travel, where Septimus sees himself. Before that, there are some weird experiences with the bumbling Heap brothers. They end up stealing a special ring. However, it turns out that it was the ring that "stole" them and was using them as a vessel for mischievousness. And speaking of vessels, we learn that Gin can occupy various bodies of animals and humans, with some being worse than others. The book concludes with some reverse alchemy where gold is turned in to lead.
Very few of the characters in this series take themselves seriously. The few that do stick out and contribute to the light tone.
