{{tropelist}}
* [[Do You Trust Me?]]: When Jupiter gives himself and Morrigan a pair of ice skates, and takes her skating in an indoor lake, he says this [[Stock Phrase]] word for word, as Morrigan has never skated before. Morrigan says yes.
* [[Hypocrite]]: Morrigan calls the Wunderous Society this, stating that they force Unit 919 to engage in a test or loyalty, and be bound to each for life and never betray each other. Then, {{spoiler|they betrayed her by releasing information regarding her abilities as a Wundersmith to the public.}}▼
* [[Get It Off Me!]]: Occurs twice:
* [[Mystical Plague]]: The Hollowpox. Used as the first type, where protagonists are trying to find a cure to the Plague. The central conflict of this book revolves around stopping it. {{spoiler|It is revealed that the Hollowpox is manufactured by Ezra Squall, and its introduction into Nevermoor provides him with a tool to make Morrigan his apprentience.}}▼
** While Unit 919 is fighting off Book Bugs in the Gobleian Library, one leaps on Anah. Cue panic and screaming. {{quote|''An iridescent green insect the size of a shoebox had broken apart from the pack and was crawling up her leg, up her side, along her shoulder ... the screaming intensified as it latched on to her hair, and Anah squeezed her eyes shut, waving her hands helplessly. ‘GET IT OFF ME GET IT OFF ME GET IT OOOFFFFFF!’''}}
** While Unit 919 is discussing the class ''What’s That Smell? A Masterclass in Minor Distractions'' that they all have together during Hometrain, Miss Cheery pulls a trick on Francis. Francis believes that there is a spider on his shoulder, before the entire unit realizes that they've been manipulated, leading to some very loud and panicked screaming. {{quote|''‘WHERE?’ Francis yelped, frantically craning his neck to see his shoulders. He ran his hands repeatedly over his close-cropped hair and shook out his cloak. ‘WHERE IS IT? GET IT OFF ME!’''}}
* [[Green-Eyed Monster]]: [[Downplayed]], as the jealousy never cause any long term consequences or harm. Morrigan adores Hawthorne's family, at how they fit together and interact when compared to her experience, isolated from her own family. Morrigan knows that the emotion she feels ''is'' jealousy, but only classifies it as a small ache, and largely ignores it. She mentally acknowledges that she is in the wrong several times. Aside from this instance lasting a magnificent total of two pages, jealousy has no bearing on the plot.
▲* [[Hypocrite]]: Morrigan calls the Wunderous Society this, stating that they force Unit 919 to engage in a test or loyalty, and be bound to each for life and never betray each other. Then, {{spoiler|they betrayed her by releasing information regarding her abilities as a Wundersmith to the public to distract the public from the Hollowpox.}}
* [["I Know You're in There Somewhere" Fight]]: {{spoiler|When Sofia is infected with the Hollowpox, and is attacking Morrigan}}, Morrigan says this to her. {{quote|'''Morrigan Crow''':Sofia? Sofia, I know you're still in there. Wake UP.}}
* [[My Hovercraft Is Full of Eels]]: Anah tries to say "you're welcome" in a foreign language. The linguist Mahir blurts out the proper translation, revealing a [[Narrative Profanity Filter|very naughty word]].
▲* [[Mystical Plague]]: The Hollowpox.
* [[Narrative Profanity Filter]]: In chapter one, Anah tries to say "you're welcome" in another language, but fails, instead saying a swear word. The book never says what the swear word translates to. {{quote|''Mahir, Hawthorne, and Thaddea shouted the vulgar translation in gleeful unison. Anah's face turned bright red, Miss Cheery looked scandalised, and the rest of the unit didn't stop giggling for the rest of the journey to the Wunderous Society.''}}
* [[Pocket Dimension]]: The Gobleian Library, a pocket dimension copy of Nevermoor,
* [[Rousing Speech]]: In the climax. When Morrigan is about to {{spoiler|eradicate the Hollowpox, but starts doubting herself, Ezra Squall (yes, the Wundersmith) gives her one.}} He lists her past achievements, and tells her to bring her old self back.
* [[Self-Harm]]: [[Downplayed]]. Morrigan uses this it as a self punishment for turning into a ''very'' mild and controlled [[Green-Eyed Monster]] regarding Hawthorne's family and how they fit together. She digs her fingernails into her palms, leaving behind small red marks. It never has any long term consequences, though, and is only a one-off instance.
* [[What Were You Thinking?]]: Fenestra asks Morrigan this when she runs out to try to eradicate the Hollowpox during the climax. Ezra Squall has confronted her, and Fenestra rushes to her, dropping this stock phrase when the Magnificat reaches her.
* [[You Owe Me]]: Cadence says this when Morrigan tells her to mesmerise the librarian Roshni, to convince her that Morrigan ''hasn't'' stolen ''Volume Three Hundred and Seven of An Unabridged History of the Wundrous Act Spectrum''. Morrigan steals it because she wishes to learn more about Wundersmiths, {{spoiler|although the effort is all moot as the book is later destroyed by book bugs}}. After Cadence does this, she drops the phrase. {{quote|''‘You owe me more than one, you filthy book-stealer,’ muttered Cadence. ‘Don’t worry, I’m keeping a tally.’''}}
