Continuity mistake: Inside the cage, Fin Raziel talks to Madmartigan and Willow but Willow disappears in the angles shot from behind, even when he is fiddling with his wand it should protrude and be visible.
Continuity mistake: When Fin Raziel talks to Madmartigan and Willow inside the cage, Mad's left hand is resting on his knee in the angle shot from behind, but in a totally different position in the rest of the front shots. This swaps back and forth all the time.
Continuity mistake: Willow's shield crashes inside the house and when it comes to a stop, snow suddenly appears on Elora's spotless shroud.
Other mistake: Near the end when they reach the castle, the drawbridge isn't even closed properly, they could easily climb up the side of the drawbridge and into the castle. What's the point of having a drawbridge that doesn't close.
Continuity mistake: When Madmartigan closes the front doors and goes to place the wooden crossbar into the brackets, the right side of the crossbar isn't set inside the bracket, it's flush on the outside, and below the gap. When the shot changes, it's now in the bracket without him lifting it up or anything.
Continuity mistake: When Airk is agonising he stares at Madmartigan, as front and back angles prove. Then he dies and bends his head to the right, but from the angle shot from the back -which is the same angle used seconds before - he remains in the previous position.
Continuity mistake: Before Airk is killed, Madmartigan stares at the fight with his hair soaking wet and messed up. When he runs to talk to Airk, ten seconds later, his hair is nicely brushed backwards. (01:52:24)
Revealing mistake: After Madmartigan falls off the sliding shield, brown haired Willow is replaced by a stunt with black hair.
Revealing mistake: When Madmartigan and Willow are about to crash against a rock and when they're speeding downhill, Mad's been replaced by an obvious stunt holding an ugly doll. (01:15:19)
Continuity mistake: On the cart, Madmartigan is face-up with a baddie on top of him. Madmartigan punches him with his right fist so the baddie should fall backwards or to the left. However, shot changes and not only is Madmartigan magically standing up, but the baddie is falling to the right, as if the punch came from a totally different position.
Revealing mistake: Madmartigan is asked by a man if he wants "to breed" and he rejects him and turns around. Right then you'll notice that Elora's been replaced by an obvious doll. (00:48:03)
Continuity mistake: After Elora and Willow's shield crashes inside the house, a man on the left walks towards the entrance and stops. A shot later he is a couple meters away repeating the previous walk.
Continuity mistake: When Fin gives Willow the book of magic, the people around rearrange themselves and come much closer together when the shot changes.
Continuity mistake: When Kaiya is bathing Elora, the boy is toying with a necklace, hands raised. A shot later they're lowered and the necklace is gone.
Continuity mistake: When Willow is sliding alone on the shield, Elora's blanket swaps between being brown in the close-ups to grey in the wide shots.
Continuity mistake: When Bavmorda lies on the floor after being spun around by Fin Raziel, her right arm changes position 3 times between shots.
Continuity mistake: When Bavmorda is choking Fin, Fin reaches for her neck, but a shot later her right hand is grabbing Bavmorda's hand. (01:54:03)
Continuity mistake: When Madmartigan kills the troll, the entrance to the castle changes style and the torch on the right disappears.
Continuity mistake: When Fin Raziel enters Madmardigan and Willow's cage, marks on the snow inside suddenly appear between shots.
Continuity mistake: When Madmartigan is about to kill Kael, he has blood around his nose and mouth. A second later it's gone.
Answer: Bavmorda's ritual was the Ritual of Obliteration - a spell that is used to destroy a living spirit's essence or soul. Presuambly if she'd just killed Elora, the soul would have been later reborn into another baby.
