Line 19:
* In the beginning of ''[[Equal Rites]]'', a wizard called Drum Billet dies and asks {{small-caps| Death}} what it would be like to be reincarnated into an ant. At the end, it is revealed that Drum Billet is an ant now.
** Perhaps the biggest, it's mentioned at the end of ''[[Equal Rites]]'' the Esk and Simon go on to develop a whole new kind of magic, after this they seemingly disappear from the plot, until ''[[I Shall Wear Midnight]]'', in which the new form of magic is revealed {{spoiler|it's time-travel}}.
*** With only slightly less of a delay: It's mentioned in ''[[Reaper Man]]'' that Ridcully want the university to form a team to compete in the 'City and Guilds' a sort of primitive form of rugby/football.
* In ''[[All There in the Manual|Nanny Ogg's Cookbook]]'', a recipe for peppermint candies provided by the Master of Assassins is accompanied by strong editorial warnings ''not'' to include one of the listed ingredients, which is arsenic. Much later in the book, an illustration shows a rat holding a peppermint while the Death of Rats peers over its shoulder, which is captioned: "We really meant that about the arsenic."
