He also summons the singing and dancing in "Once More, with Feeling." I wonder if summoning involves a different type of magic than regular spellcasting. Andrew seems to be more into summoning evil than actually casting spells.
It may very well -- that may be why Giles could be telling the truth in this episode. If all he's done before is summon Eygon, and that's an entirely different type of magic, then this was his first 'casting'. He'd been a summoner, not a spell caster. I quite like that explanation, actually.
Although there is one outfit Buffy wears in this episode that I don't quite understand. It is when they are all anxious to see the results. She is wearing this black and white dress over pants. Do you know the one?
I thought about mentioning that, but it really was just too silly. Because at first, I thought that it was a perfectly good mini. But then we got a longer shot and... pants? Wha? It was so bizarre. Buffy can look wonderful sometimes, and sometimes she just goes too far.
