GLOOMVERSE SPOILERS AHEAD YO

Magic can’t affect a living human being physically. That’s a staple rule. You CANNOT use magic to alter yourself or another person. The only exception to this rule happens to be Wallis, the colour crew, and Assistant. I want to point out that Assistant’s changes are COLOUR BASED, similar to the powerful magic that has overtaken the colour crew.

In the dreamscape, we see that Assistant stumbles across the Dark Overlord- or at least, what we believe the incarnation of them to be. They are quite clearly attacking the (Old) colour crew one by one, and it seems to be for a PURPOSE.

Before I go on, I want to talk a bit more about the old colour people- And, importantly, the ruins. Inside the ruins we see 7 rainbow statues, one for each of the colours. This leads me to believe it was a place of worship- So these colour people that died must have been very powerful beings. Powerful enough that their colour has bled down and REAPPEARED in a select few, in present time: The current colour crew.

Bouncing off of that, the Dark Overlord clearly wants something from them, hence Yellow’s begging of “You got what you wanted… Please, spare me…!!”. I’m not sure entirely of this, however, I believe that the Dark Overlord wanted power, or some form of vengeance. Namely, I think it is entirely possible that the Dark Overlord wanted the colour crew’s magic for themselves.

Once again switching to Assistant, I would like to examine JUST how similar she is to the Dark Overlord. Dark hair and skin, and a primarily black/red scheme- In fact, in some panels, Assistant’s eyes actually turn red for comedic effect. Dark Overlord’s appearance in the dreamscape is VERY saturated, so if you manage to reduce the saturation slightly… You get a skin colour very similar to that of Assistant.

Additionally, I want to point out the SIMILARITIES between Assistant and the DL’s wands:

It kind of looks like DL’S is a twisted version of Assistant’s- they’re also both very staff-like.

Now. If the colour crew’s magic was potent enough to leak down through the years to radically affect and change a certain few people’s lives, then I believe it’s entirely possible the same could be said for Assistant. If she is somehow a descendant/chosen descendant of the Dark Overlord themselves, then wouldn’t it make sense that she has rainbow magic? If the Dark Overlord stole their magic all those years ago- It’s entirely possible that Assistant is actually capable of using the colour magic. It would also explain why she seems to drawn to the ruins, why her hat was held back, why she has such dark eyes in a world so dependent on colour.

Hey look good theory!!!!
