Trivia

 * When the Elric brothers are sparring at the end of the episode, Al falls in water and gets back out without any damage to his Blood Seal. This is inconsistent as through most of the part of the series he doesn't go in water due to the fear of his Seal being damaged. However, since this was his very first time sparring in that body, it could be that at that point, he was simply unaware of the peril water actually now posed to him.
 * The text which appears in the book at the start of the episode is actually taken from a review of a Dungeons & Dragons sourcebook Alchemy & Herbalists, published by Bastion Press. The review was originally written by Jeff Ibach for a website called DM's Haven.
 * The name signed to Roy Mustang's letter is James Herbert, the name of an English horror writer.
