Line 416:
* [[Orcus on His Throne]]: Although Torak is technically the [[Big Bad]] of the first series, he spends almost all of it asleep.
* [[Our Nudity Is Different]]: Relg rants about how Ulgo women tries to entice him by showing their calves and forearms.
* [[Outsourcing Fate]]: At the end of ''The Malloreon'', {{spoiler|Cyradis makes the final choice between the Light and Dark Prophecies}}.
* [[Pals with Jesus]]:
** Before the gods left the world, Belar, god of the Alorns, used to live among his "rowdy, undisciplined, and drunk" people. The admiration that Alorn girls displayed towards him [[Divine Date|didn't seem entirely religious either]].
Line 546 ⟶ 547:
* [[Throwing Down the Gauntlet]]: Mandorallen, except he "missed" the floor, much to his opponent's detriment.
* [[Thunderbolt Iron]]: The [[Blade of Fearsome Size|BFS]] is made of this.
* [[Token Religious Teammate]]: Relg.
* [[Tomboyish Name]]: Beldaran. Despite being the [[Tomboy and Girly Girl|Girly Girl]] to the adolescent Polgara's Tomboy her name has the masculine 'Bel' prefix and Daran is used as a name with no comment by several of her male descendents.
* [[Tongue-Tied]]: Asharak places a magical compulsion on Garion to prevent him from ratting Asharak out.
Line 591 ⟶ 593:
* [[World of Snark]]: Both heroes and villains make liberal use of sarcasm. It's hard to go a page without somebody making some snarky comment.
* [[Ye Olde Butcherede Englishe]]: The Gods and Mimbrates love to speak on this manner. Especially if in [[Big Words|eloquence]].
* [[Yin-Yang Clash]]: The two Prophecies.
* [[You Can't Fight Fate]]:
** [[Lampshaded]]. The majority of the conflict in the books comes from the truly ridiculous amount of effort spent by the Child of Dark in attempting to suborn the Prophecies. This ''[[Genre Blindness|always]]'' turns out to be its ultimate downfall.
