Line 50:
* [[Mysterious Past]]: The readers, and key members of the cast, learn nothing of Dante's past until ''The Daemon Prism''.
* [[Obfuscating Stupidity]]: Portier uses this to slip into King Philippe's court, acting like an oaf to deflect serious - and potentially dangerous - attention away from him and garner some sympathy. It's a bit more effective than he intended. {{spoiler|Ilario}}, meanwhile, all but personifies this trope.

* [[Power Tattoo]]: Members of magically talented families are required to bear a tattoo of their family device on the back of the left hand, whether they themselves are magically inclined or not. Dante is the only mage who lacks this marking, to the chagrin of the Collegia Serevain.
* [[Promotion to Parent]]: Anne de Vernase becomes the head of her household after {{spoiler|her father is branded a traitor, her mother goes mad, and her brother is imprisoned}}.
