* [[Epic Fail]]: Drum Billet and Mr. Smith committing one of these is what kicks off the book, particularly in the latter's refusal to let Granny get a word in edgewise about Eskarina's gender. |

* [[Hey It's That Voice]] (the [[Useful Notes/Fonts|typeface]] version): At one point the Things from the Dungeon Dimensions speak in the same block capitals as Death, which can be a bit disconcerting to the reader used to later Discworld books. |

* [[Retcon]]: Blink and you'll miss it, but this is actually the first book to refer to the leader of Unseen University as the Archchancellor -- in ''The Light Fantastic'' Galder Weatherwax was just described as the Chancellor. Later books retconned the Archchancellor title as always being there. |

* [[Shapeshifter Showdown]]: The duel between Cutangle and Granny, inspired by those in the Arthurian Mythos (and perhaps best known to modern eyes through Disney's ''[[The Sword in The Stone (Disney)|The Sword in The Stone]]'') which illustrates the difference between wizard and witch magic, Cutangle turning into powerful things and Granny into more modest things that restrain them through subtlety. |

* [[Shout-Out]]: The other worlds that the Things are trying to break into include a flat world with a [[World Tree]], another flat world with the Midgard Serpent (also referenced in ''[[Discworld (Literature)/The Colour of Magic|The Colour of Magic]]'') and a round world which is, of course, implied to be ours. |

* [[Women Are Wiser]]: Granny Weatherwax thinks Witch magic is better. Her characterization implies that she believes women to be more "in tune" than men (a wizard wouldn't "borrow" a creature because it simply wouldn't occur to him to ask nicely and share rather than sneak in and dominate), suggesting she has a less than stellar opinion of men in general. |
