I MENTORship it. She's missing a father figure because her mom murdered her dad, he's missing a daughter figure because he never left Drusselstein. It all fits.

Malifishmirtz would never accept being an apprentice again.

What about having an apprentice? Or has he been thrown off all apprenticeship adjacent activities?

Initial Reactions:
I'm really getting the feeling that one of the Masquerades is going to come under threat. It being specifically referred to as taboo makes me kinda lean towards Magic, although it could be Aliens instead, given the danger is supposed to be super closely tied to the moon.
This might just be a shot in the dark, but maybe the Problem could actually be connected to Artemis Fowl? We know he's been getting up to stuff in the background, and he could fit as a literal Moon. While he himself is unlikely to fit the whole 'great desire for death and destruction' thing, I could see some villains from the Artemis Fowl series (within the Moon's sphere) fitting the bill. Namely, either Opal Koboi and her immense disdain for humans or that one island of demons cast outside time who act exactly as you'd expect literal demons to act (with 1 exception). Either one could attempt to attack and thus breach the Magic Masquerade. I dunno, just throwing it out there.

Oh. Artemis, Goddess of the Moon. That could certainly work too.
My intent was less that the Inator itself causes baking soda volcanoes, and more that the Inator's actual effects are unimportant and it coincidentally gets upstaged by a baking soda volcano thanks to narrative causality.
EDIT: Regarding taking the Moon card more literally, I suspect it's referring to Queen Moon. Since she's a nemesis of Toffee, that implies that Toffee might be planning something big, probably related to us.
We've been operating for a while with the mindset that as long as we don't start a fight with Toffee, he's unlikely to do so. But we've already assembled a number of his enemies together, enough that just knowing our hero list would be enough to conclude we're planning against him. Honestly, even if it turns out the prophecy is about something else we should probably be expecting Toffee to take overt action against us in the near future.

Pretty sure it was given as 70 many turns ago to seed agents in Solanaceae, and 95 to bug Solanaceae.
Nice update!
Malf needs more friends.....
...what are the odds the other queens are just as awkward as celena?
As for the reading, I support the obake or lunar aliens.
If it's the lunars, Xanathos can handle it, if it's Obake, Vanessa is in danger.
I would like to throw in a new option though.

I mean, yes, but I'm pretty sure that was also before the mechanics changed, so wanted to double check

Fair enough. To be honest, I posted it mostly as a joke.

Noticed you didn't talk about my Holy-Grail-Inator. Was that because you didn't have anything to say or did you just miss it?
(Not trying to be pushy or anything. I'm genuinely curious about what you might have to say.)

You feel as if a great opportunity to be in a movie has somehow passed you by. Oh well, this Inator should at least let you recapture some of that hollywood magic feeling, you've always wanted to be in a movie!
When this inator is rolled, QMs roll a dice. The "genre" of Doofquest is briefly altered for a turn, based on the results of the die. Hero Units who fit into the narrative conventions of the genre (QM discretion) receive a temporary +5 to all rolls as everything goes their way, while Hero Units who struggle under the narrative receive a -5 to all rolls, as they suddenly feel out of place. The National Actions for the corresponding category may also have a slight change in flavor to better fit their genre:
Dice Rolls:
1 - Action Blockbuster (Martial)
2 - 80's Cartoons (Diplomacy)
3 - Adventure Scifi (Learning)
4 - Office Sitcom (Stewardship)
5 - Noir Detective (Intrigue)
6 - Epic Fantasy (Occult)
Any and all of the above genres may also be substituted for whatever genre the QMs would most like to write.

It wouldn't be the first time a Doofenshmirtz has taken a mentor role for someone more technically competent than them, and this one is far less likely to attempt a coup.

Malifishmertz is too prideful to listen to anyone besides family and too stubborn/impatient to have an apprentice from what I understand of him. Maybe instead, he would consider her his nemesis and push to improve or atleast be very petty towards her?
Given that Malf already took a temporary -5 loyalty just from summoning Celena, I don't know that trying to figure out a way to summon her without offending him too much is worth the risk.
Unless it involves spending considerable time and effort beforehand to get Malf in a better place mentally so that he no longer feels threatened at all by the presence of other ghostly spellcasters, which is a very long term goal.

I think you just explained why this would be a bad idea.

Oh, so I did.
Holy-Grail-Inator: No.
The Cinematic-Inator!: This seems like this would...
A) be a massive pain in the ass to write
B) would uproot the quest's established tone to a ridiculous degree
It's another one of those "Good in Theory" inator ideas.

So. This might be a long shot, but if the tide Celena mentioned was also literal, then perhaps it's a King's Tide reference? We don't actually know the specifics of the Owl House in this setting, but I think both the Episode 1 and current latest episodes qualify as 'Villains Victorious' settings. The former because of Belos' being absolutely monstrous and ruler of the Isles, while the latter has the Collector and that whole mess. Huh. The Collector also has a bit of a moon symbol thing going on. Maybe the DOI Quest deadline isn't just because of the government planning on getting it back...

Celena would make a terrible nemesis. She's too observant to go the "annoy them with ignorance" route and she's too shy to engage is mutual antagonism.
I'm not certain I did. Rodrigo was ambitious and derisive, and Doof still liked working with him up until the betrayal. Celena has specific things she could learn from Malf, even if her overall skill level is higher, and doesn't seem the type to derisively take control when he's outlived his usefulness.
