Emperor Cloyd and the Enchantress watch Sorcerio through the Oracle Fire.
The Oracle Fire is a magical item possessed by Emperor Cloyd and the Enchantress of the kingdom of Maru.
Function[]
Controlled by the Enchantress, it is used to track the progress of Luci, their emissary, and therefore keep a watchful eye on Bean and her misadventures within and beyond Dreamland. It acts as a magic portal, allowing the Enchantress to transmit magic through it, such as when she gets Luci to conceal himself within Bean to avoid being discovered by Big Jo in "The Princess Of Darkness".
As seen in "The Stience of Homemade Lightning", the fire can also be used to transfer matter from one Oracle Fire to another. Bean used this to send Emperor Cloyd and Becky the Enchantress to Dreamland, just before using her magic to permanently extinguishe the Oracle Fire in Maru.
Allusions[]
The fire is alluded to as being similar to a television, with the Emperor and Enchantress falling asleep in front of it in one episode, and it showing fuzzy white static - familiar to pre-digital era people - signalling that the broadcast has ended. Jerry appears to watch it as if it was a soap opera - the one where the cat and the elf are friends - giving the Oracle Fire a meta-quality: while watching Bean and the others as if it were a TV show, the audience watches Disenchantment, which actually is TV show.
