A novel by Diana Wynne Jones. A team of mages finds it necessary to invade an alternate universe.

- Henpecked Husband: Mark tends to question from time to time why he married Paulie.
- I Choose to Stay: After the congo dancing scene, the women decided to stay in Arth

- The Load: Roz tends to see Zillah as this.
- Male Gaze: A world filled with male mages suddenly seeing women in their world that are just dying to get attention (as ulterior motive)? Pretty obvious.
- Moe: Zillah
- The Mole: Brother Tony is assigned to spy on Paulie and return information to Arth. Later, because Tod kissed Zillah, he has to fill in, much to his displeasure.
- Never the Selves Shall Meet: When they enter the alternate universe, all the ones with counterparts there instantly die.
- Shrinking Violet: Zillah again.
- Sex Is Evil: In-universe. It's not allowed in Arth because it will upset the balance.
