There's also the "absorbing all the power and declaring yourself god is the fastest way to get clocked by a group of plucky adventurers" thing, but I get the feeling we don't actually like our fictional villains knowing that.

Transcript:Ocellus (TS): N-Now hold on… maybe this is a red herring. Maybe she only stumbled upon the situation and is taking advantage of it, and the true culprit is still out there.
Cozy Glow: Enjoying yourself in there, Starlight? I'm sorry I had to push you into my vortex, but what else could I do? You were going to ruin all my plans.
Ocellus (TS): Oookay then. Nevermind. She is pure evil.
Sandbar (AJ): The CMC heard that, right?

Sandbar (AJ): Does Cozy Glow notice us?
DM: She's monologuing, which gives her a penalty to Perception checks.

DM: Er, well… I should probably preface this by reminding you that, currently, you are all children. And so is she.
