Line 23:
** Wunsoc has nine floors, {{spoiler|the ninth used to train Wundersmiths}}.
** Nine books are planned in the series.
* [[Affectionate Nickname]]: ''Mog'', given to Morrigan by Jupiter, used throughout the entire series. Jupiter states that he likes giving people nicknames and tries hard to find one for Morrigan. {{
* [[Alternative Calendar]]: In the series, time is divided into Ages. Each Age starts with Morningtide and Eventide, and usually lasts for twelve years. The first book is kickstarted when Eventide comes a year early, and Morrigan, being a cursed child, is destined to die on the year, setting the events for Jupiter North to come and spirit her away to the Free States and Nevermooor.
* [[Aura Vision]]: The power granted to Jupiter North and his newphew Jack. Jupiter, through practice, is able to control this ability, and turn it off as well as share it with others. Jack, on the other hand, is not so lucky, and wears an eyepatch to turn it off, initially leading Morrigan to believe that he is actually blind in that eye.
Line 44:
* [[Mad Lib Fantasy Title]]: All books in the series use at least one magic buzzword in their title, such as ''trials'', ''calling'', and ''mystery''. The constructed words, such as ''Hollowpox'' and ''Wundersmith'' all draws attention, leaving enough information for audiences to have a vague idea of what the concept represents, but never giving away too much information -- the perfect way to create viewer intrigue.
* [[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.}}
▲* [[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.
* [[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 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?

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