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.

* [[BFS]]: Flay's mechsword. Anna's katana is longer than she is tall. Also, Vayne can transform himself into a huge sword, or wield one in his [[Finishing Move]]. And Renee from the [[Quirky Miniboss Squad]], as well as some generic student enemies.

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

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

* [[Bishonen]]: Have you looked at the box?

** Jess's ending isn't much better. {{spoiler|After the credits, we see her taking medicine in a bed (implying her condition has worsened) and Vayne tells her that ''this one'' will be the cure.}}

* [[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...

** 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.
