A figure stands on a small stage under a dark sky. The stage is slightly conical with two shiny stripes towards the top, like the upper half of a barrel. The grass all around is glowing blue. In front of the stage is planted a small sign with a warning icon and illegible text on it. While it's not clear what the sign is warning against, the figure on top of the barrel is wearing a bright red-orange ghost costume with a single large blue eye on the front and holding a glowing wand with smoke coming off it. That, and it has a glowing halo above its head, and orange sneakers. Nature has its ways of indicating that some creatures are best left alone.

A blue night sky filled with stars, and a yellow-green meadow beneath it that seems to be glowing. Standing to the left in the meadow is a dark figure, holding up a wand with a flaming blue light at the end. In front of the figure, hanging in the sky like a mirage, is the glowing green outline of an ornate church window. The three circular panes at the top of the window, arranged in a triangle, and the square panes below it, form a key.

A person plays a horn while in front of them, a white ghostlike apparition gushes out of a top hat, seemingly summoned by the horn. The apparition has two horns and a halo, one hand upraised. This is a mostly yellow drawing, with the hat and person drawn in dark brown.

A figure wearing a top hat, a dark suit, and a tie stands on a green background, juggling playing cards. The figure looks like a stage magician. Its face is not visible. Some of the playing cards are on fire. The cards also have odd symbols: a red triangular warning symbol with an exclamation mark, a black lightning bolt, a red smiley face, and an odd symbol that looks like a cross with two crossbars and a circle at the top.

A small promontory that looks like a crater. On the left side of the drawing, standing on the slope of the promontory, is a small person, holding up a wand or bar. On the right side of the drawing, in the center of the crater, is a tall glowing white form stepping out of a perfectly straight beam of white light from above. The white figure is tinged with an iridescent green and is about twice the size of the person. It is pointing a finger at the person, from which a bolt of electricity is leaping. The person is warding it off with the bar, which seems to be acting like a lightning rod, catching the bolt and stopping it in its place. The background is an indeterminate blue-green, giving little clue about where this is taking place or the time of day.

A hulking figure whose head is either very smooth or encased in a helmet stands, holding a large leather bound volume in one hand. A small glowing figure with wings is standing on its other hand. The figure is looking at it. The rear cover of the volume has a vague, expressionless face molded into it.

A woods at night. The sky is the clear blue of a summer evening; the full moon is high in the sky. A wall of dark trees rises in the background. In the foreground, in a small clearing illuminated by moonlight, stands a tall, mushroom-shaped structure: it looks like a birdhouse made from a tall, slender mushroom. A circular opening is carved into the side of it, revealing a warm, yellow interior light. Right outside the structure, as if it's just exited the opening, is a glowing white ball that's giving of sparks. Up in the sky is another creature; a white winged thing that could be a fairy with birdlike wings and, yes, antlers. You might have imagined forest spirits as looking like pagan nymphs, but we can't all be pagan nymphs I'm afraid.
