Line 75:
* [[Deus Ex Machina]]: Frequently, especially the Blood Oath Ceremony, which magically {{spoiler|transforms Eragon in a super-attractive half-elf and heals his crippling back scar}}. Also Saphira who says she can {{spoiler|change reality in some unspecified way, although not at will. Although this is not unique to her, all the dragons can.}}
* [[Distressed Damsel]]: Arya, and later {{spoiler|Katrina}}.
* [[Door StopperDoorstopper]]: Each successive book is about 150-200 pages longer than the previous instalment, with ''Brisingr'' topping out at 748 pages. This is the reason for [[Trilogy Creep|Book Four]]; "Book Three" was pushing 900 pages and not even halfway finished. A reprinting of ''Eragon'' and ''Eldest'' in a single volume dubbed the "Inheritance Omnibus" is 1216 pages long and large enough to crush a small dog if dropped from sufficient height. The Japanese translation of ''Eldest'' is so large that it is split into two books.
* [[Downer Ending]]: {{spoiler|Eragon leaves Alagaesia forever, Arya is stuck with a job she doesn't want, Orrin doesn't get the kingdom and his country becomes an appendage to the Empire, Nasuada has a whole lot on her plate, and Saphira has to leave Firnen.}}
* [[Dragon Rider]]: Eragon, naturally. Also, {{spoiler|Oromis, Murtagh}} and Galbatorix count. Brom, Orik, and Arya have also ridden Saphira at various points, {{spoiler|Brom was also a Rider before his dragon was killed}}.
