* It is stated that a [[Rassilon Imprimatur]] is essential for Time Lords, as without it no Time Lord will be able to regenerate, and that only graduates of the Academy are given the Rassilon Imprimatur.

* This book is highly significant, as, during the dream sequence, it depicts two separate characters named ''Magnus'' and ''Koschei'' together on Gallifrey at the same time. ''Koschei'' was the name [[The Master]] used in ''[[The Dark Path (novel)|The Dark Path]]''. whereas ''Magnus'' fantasises about working with the [[War Lord]]s, hinting that he is the same person as [[the War Chief]]. As such, many people take this as "proof" that 'The War Chief is not the same character as the Master'. However, this occurs during what is explicitly said to be a "strange dream", brought on by [[the Toymaker]]. In addition, time is mixed-up within the dream, as Type 30 TARDISes are still being invented one night, yet the next morning Type 35 TARDISes have already been used for some time. And characters who the Doctor only met long after his time at the Academy interact with him while he is at the Academy. | * This book is highly significant, as, during the dream sequence, it depicts two separate characters named ''Magnus'' and ''Koschei'' together on Gallifrey at the same time.
