Both had spent most of the book {{spoiler|enabling Coin's rise to power, and each realizes what a mistake that was.

* [[Rouge Angles of Satin]]: Rincewind's hat bears the word "WIZZARD" in sequins. An interesting example, in that ''at the time'' this was just one of the many examples of the Disc folk's use of [[Ye Olde Butcherede Englishe]] and creative spelling, yet when Rincewind returns in ''[[Discworld/Interesting Times|Interesting Times]]'', his bad spelling is particularly pointed out by the other wizards (as Pratchett had moved away from presenting all Disc spelling as bad). |
