  Clever theme and fun solve — thank you!

  The only issue I had was entering the rebus squares. Given 27D I was thinking I could just put a T in each but that was not accepted. I had to go back and change each one to TEE (which on my phone took a whole minute or more). Even at the risk of some solvers missing the full glory of the theme, I’d put in an alternate solution with just a T in those squares.

    So the theme was golf, that's why they were "tee"s. 27D was kind of a happy coincidence. But I'll put the alternate solution to be safe, thanks!

  Clever and fun but I'm not sure I 100% get it. Are they all alternative words (Teetotaller is a alcohol abstainer and a manatee is an animal [don't understand magically infused accessory]) or are the they the actual entries (Teehee T.P.) or new words made up for the puzzle (Tee Turtle), or ?

    They are all actual words, but the clues are made up as if they were referencing golf tees ("Mana tee", where mana refers to RPG magic). TeeTurtle is a t-shirt company, maybe too obscure for this puzzle, but not made up.

      Okay. That all makes sense.

      Really cute and fun puzzle!

      Personally I found the theme a bit confusing since GIFTEE and TRUSTEE aren't clued as a "GIF tee" and a "TRUS tee", so they don't follow the same cluing convention as the rest of your clues.
