It had always been the intention to have a clean break in the series after Gross' first 25 issues to allow the character time to grow up, with Gross having some ideas about where he would take the character next. When the time came, however, DC opted to relaunch the series as "" with writer Dylan Horrocks. Horrocks introduced the series with a five-issue miniseries, "The Names of Magic", that ended with the character learning his true heritage and names and enrolling in a school of magic: this allowed Horrocks to show a more mature version of Tim in the ongoing series, set after Tim's graduation from the school, and deal with real-life issues that had not been previously covered in "The Books of Magic", like bills and hangovers.
