Mana Khemia: Alchemists of Al-Revis: Difference between revisions

* [[Be Careful What You Wish For]]: Subverted with {{spoiler|Theofratus}}, whose fate is ''exactly'' what he was wishing for. Played straight later in the game, though then again, the subconscious wishes from the heart are also a tricky thing...

** ''Never'' wish to be alone. You might not like how it plays out.

** And when we say Vayne's sword is big, try about 6 or more times his size.

** And a Boss ''is one''.

* [[Blessed with Suck]]: Pity the poor fool who pacts with the Mana of Light. On one hand, yeah! You get combat abilities far surpassing what one could have without a Mana! And you become pretty awesome! On the other, be prepared to be (possibly publically) humiliated (on a huge scale) whenever the Mana is bored and is in need of entertainment (often).

** {{spoiler|Also Vayne, whose powers bring him nothing but trouble.}}

* [[Contrived Coincidence]]: {{spoiler|Theofratus' attempts at healing Jessica ([[It Got Worse|it got a]] ''[[It Got Worse|lot]]'' [[It Got Worse|worse]] for her) caused him to view himself a failure, seeking a way to end his own (implied to be long) life, leading to Vayne being "born".}} And then it just so happens that Jess is the first person that Vayne befriends in school.

* [[Combination Attack]]: The Variable Strike. It doesn't matter which characters are used for the attack as long as the last one in the chain will be Vayne.

* [[Cute Monster Girl]]: Pamela; also Nikki and the other Beastman girls. And then there are those angel and demon enemies...

* [[Dark Is Not Evil]]: it only wants to grant wishes, that's all...

** [[Morph Weapon|Vayne uses a cat that transforms into his sword. It proceeds to be able to change shape at will in battle, to an even bigger sword if need be in mid-attack.]]

** [[Hammerspace|Jess uses a bag/purse whose contents seem endless amounts of random objects (lampshaded by Vayne repeatedly).]]

** [[Demonic Dummy|Pamela uses her stuffed bear, which, coincidentally is posessed by her Mana.]]

** [[Cool Spaceship|Muppy uses his spaceship,]] [[BFG|and all the conventional weaponry that it might entail...]] [[Transformation Ray|and some]] [[Flying Saucer|more unconventional ones.]]

** [[Tarot Motifs|Roxis uses tarot cards,]] [[Death Dealer|both by throwing them]] [[Whip It Good|and using them as a card whip.]]

*** His attacks also alter the flow of battle by manipulating the turn system, thereby [[Breaking the Fourth Wall]].

* [[Inexplicable Treasure Chests]]: From a mountain range that the school often uses for athletic classes, to the school library, to the very definitely final dungeon {{spoiler|the first half of which is a conglomerate of several past dungeons because they're memories- of course, it somehow manages to have the recipes for the best equipment in the game in treasure chests that definitely weren't there before.}}

* [[Insistent Terminology]]: Early chapters have Flay constantly refer to the workshop as the <s>Bat</s> Flay Cave.

* [[Lethal Chef]]: In the first [[School Festival]], the students at the restaurant booth prefer the Principal's baking over the Vice-Principal's.

** Speaking of lethal cooking, Pamela and Jess's potions technically count. Bonus for Jess actually having lunch that is...purple...and moving.

* [[Load-Bearing Boss]]: Final castle falls when you defeat the last boss. Justified, in that it's a castle created by wishes.

* [[Luminescent Blush]]: the female characters are often shown having these.

** Vayne's special attacks all involve shadows, lots and lots of sharp blades, creepy red eyes, and surprisingly violent battle quotes. {{spoiler|So it makes sense that the final boss is a horrible mass of [[Red Eyes, Take Warning|red eyes]] that [[Tears of Blood|cry black gunk]]. Oh, and his [[Reality Warper|true power]] is pretty scary too.}}

** When Isolde {{spoiler|kills one of your friends to force Vayne's powers to surface}}, you have to think: {{spoiler|what if Vayne ''wasn't'' able to bring him/her back, and Isolde took the leap from slightly unbalanced teacher to murderer?}} Even worse than that, {{spoiler|she didn't even ''flinch'' when she killed them. If Vayne couldn't wish him/her back to life, what was to stop Isolde from murdering all of them right then and there to keep said murder a secret?}}

* [[Nostalgic Music Box]]: Dream of the Black Cat, the music that plays over each chapter's beginning scene/flashback.

* [[Not So Stoic]]/[[Not So Above It All]]: Anna.
