"One of the reasons for a change in technology is the availability of new materials, which are in some way better, cheaper, or easier to produce, though probably not all three at the same time," Oz told them, idly flipping a knife. "Take for example, the humble Jack O'Lantern, who's gourdy, pumpkiny good can be seen throughout the land this time of year. But you see, back in Ireland where the practice originated, they didn't have pumpkins, with their hollow, easy to carve shells. Instead they had the humble turnip."

"It doesn't feel like there's as much point if you can't even fit a candle in it."
