Teams might notice that the five-pointed star in the puzzle, the mention of "Wicca" in the flavortext, and the title referring to "chemistry" all clue the five elements in the Wiccan theology: air, earth, water, fire, and spirit. These elements also have fairly canonical color associations, allowing the answers to be associated to each of the points in the star.
