Line 45:
* [[Magic by Any Other Name]]: ''Wunder'' is reflective of magic and electricity in the real world. It powers homes in the Wintersea Republic. It can only be manipulated and harvested by Wundersmiths — only two of them exists at the current time period in the novel — who use it to achieve glamorous effects such as construction and spectacle, or negative effects such as war.
* [[Mega Neko]]: The Magnificats, described as being the size of an elephant, and as the largest cat that Morrigan has seen. One Magnificat, Fenestra, works at the Hotel Deucalion, and her growl can make people faint. Before the events of the plot, she is a cage fighter, and became the champion for three years in a row. She even agrees to be Morrigan's steed for the chase trial, and is considerably faster than the other mounts.
* [[Masquerade]]: This is the one of the roles of the Wunderous Society. They refer to it as C&D, {{spoiler|or containment and distraction. There are many supernatural monsters which inhibit Nevermoor, and the 'containment ' aspect means that these threats should be controlled so they do not get out of hand. The 'distraction' part is where the masquerade comes in, as the society puts up spectacles such as fireworks or a parade so people won't find out more about these threats while the society is undergoing the containment aspect.}} A unit can only know about C&D once they pass the loyalty trial. {{spoiler|Unit 919 does so by the end of the second book, and is told about C&D in the third.}}
* [[Phantasy Spelling]]: ''Wunder'', the in universe version of magic, as well as the correspondingly named Wunderous Society and Wundersmith.
* [[Portmanteau]]: The '''Wun'''drous '''Soc'''iety is shortened to '''Wunsoc'''.
Line 54 ⟶ 55:
* [[Wizarding School]]: The ''Wunderous Society'', or Wunsoc for short. It only accepts nine new students each year out of around 300 candidates, who has to pass rigorous trials. The school is divided into two fields of study, each occupying a different set of floors. {{spoiler|A third class, designed to train Wundersmiths, occupies the ninth floor.}}
* [[World of Snark]]: Where do we even begin?
** Your job is to find a chapter containing Fenestra in which the Magnificat does not snark at something.

''Sorry <s>but don't you think there are worse things in life than bad marmalade?</s>''}}
