One was located in the castle's study (in the keep), the second in the great tower (in a small chamber in the first story), and the third was in the quarters of Princess Lydia.[1]To use the mirror one must touch three symbols in a specific order, and then recite the proper spell phrase; "You are a window through which I can see. You are a door through which I may walk. You are the way between the High and Low Kingdoms. Open, as Owen bade you."
The frozen shards of one magic mirror, turned Icebella into a cold being of ice, with a frozen and hardened heart.
There once was a fair prince, who was eager to find a bride. He looked into a magic mirror and saw the loveliest of women, but he did not know who or where she was. Often he looked upon her and once saw that she was looking into her own magic glass, and in it was his own image. He was looking at her looking at him. This sent him into the world where he finally found her and they lived happily ever after.[2]
Snow White's stepmother, a wicked woman had a magic mirror; its power was to tell who was the fairest woman in the land. For years, the new queen asked the same question: Looking glass, mirror, on the wall, Who's the fairest one of all? To which the mirror would answer.[3]
Another magic mirror existed in the Vulcanix Underground, which acted like a doorway to a garden pool in Daventry.
