Wanda's explanation of magical back-up in The Fairly OddParents: A New Wish
Magical build-up, also referred to as magical back-up,[1] is a condition in The Fairly OddParents! and The Fairly OddParents: A New Wish. It occurs if a fairy or genie cannot grant wishes to their godchild or does not grant wishes for a certain amount of time.
Information[]
The Fairly OddParents![]
Fairies afflicted by magical build-up will initially begin sweating and shaking before their torsos gradually inflate like balloons until they explode into fairy dust or confetti with only their eyes and/or mouth intact. Even without their mouth intact the fairy will still be able to talk. The amount of time for the condition to occur is rather inconsistent; in "The Same Game", the fairies experienced magical build-up only minutes after losing their godchildren due to Timmy Turner's wish, while Norm the Genie took two weeks to experience it. However, in "Fairy Idol", Cosmo and Wanda experience magical build-up after 24 hours of not granting a wish.
The Fairly OddParents: A New Wish[]
Magical build-up is reintroduced as magical back-up. In addition to expansion, fairies now become green in the face and start vomiting rainbow-colored sludge when the back-up becomes severe. Confetti also starts coming out of the ears or mouth once the symptoms start to show, along with white stars in the eyes. Unlike the original series, fairies that explode from the condition are unable to be revived.
In "The Battle of Big Wand", Cosmo, Wanda, and Peri all get magical back-up when Dev Dimmadome takes over Fairy World, locks them in a cage, and wishes for Hazel Wells to not have a fairy godparent.
Cure[]
The only known cure is to grant a wish before or during magical build-up. In the original series, the condition is not lethal, and an exploded fairy can be wished by someone else back to normal.

Trivia[]
- Anti-Fairies appear to be oblivious to the dangers magical build-up has on their counterparts as well as the fact that they would perish should their counterpart explode. However, whether Anti-Fairies have an equivalent to magical build-up is unknown.
- The April Fool is capable of experiencing a similar condition known as "comedy back-up" if someone laughs before he delivers his punchline. Timmy, Cosmo and Wanda exploit this weakness to send him back to Fairy World in "Fools Day Out".
