Krylancelo Finrandi and his best friend Azalie Caith Sith are two orphans who are taken in by the people in a prestigious magic school, The Tower of Fang. Azalie, however, has some connection with the beastly dragon, the Bloody August. To uphold the magic school's reputation, the dragon must be
Krylancelo abandons the Tower of Fangs and takes up the name of Orphen, furious with the fact that they want to destroy his best friend. Afterwards, people whom Orphen thought were his friends suddenly seem as though they are enemies in the race to get to Azalie first. Meanwhile, Orphan himself sets out on a journey to find and save her with his apprentice, Majic Finn, and a young girl who holds one of the key items Orphen needs in her house, Cleao Everlasting. Along the way, two bumbling Troll siblings, Volkan and Dortin, tend to make things worse no matter what.

The series originated from a 20-volume [[Light Novel]] series written by Yoshinobu Akita, ''Majutsushi Orphen Haguretabi'', that began in 1994. ''Haguretabi'' had the same mood and elements from the first anime series, but had a plot that went much further than the small piece the show provided. Two years later, It later spawned a 13-volume spin-off [[Light Novel]] series, ''Majutsushi Orphen Mubouhen'', that embraced the more comedic elements of the series. Both series finished in 2003.

{{tropelist}}
* [[Adaptation Distillation]]: The first season of the anime. A lot of details and plot threads from the original novels were either simplified or taken out all together, particularly back-story revolving around Orphen himself, in order to make a stand-alone story that could last for 24 episodes.
* [[Adaptation Dye Job]]: Both Azalea and Childman have brown hair in the original novels (and the manga), which in the anime became purple and green(ish?), respectively.
Line 31 ⟶ 30:
* [[Broken Bird]]: Esperanza from Season 2. Cleao lampshades the trope by telling her {{spoiler|during their fight, that she wouldn't be able to harm her since she was gentle towards birds and other living things.}}
** {{spoiler|Azalie mixes this with [[Magnificent Bitch]]. Her mental/emotional state went downhill when she thought Childman only liked her for being a powerful mage, and when she thought that he wanted to kill her rather than help her when she became Bloody August... oh boy.}}
* [[Broken Pedestal]]: Childman {{spoiler|and Azalie}}, for Orphen.
* [[Bunny Ears Lawyer]]: Hartia, Orphen's best friend, is an excellent sorcerer... and a [[Heroic Wannabe]] who actually prefers to disguise himself as his childhood hero, the Black Tiger. [[Hilarity Ensues]] every time he does so.
* [[The Caligula]]: {{spoiler|Flamesoul}}
Line 41 ⟶ 40:
* [[Crossover]]: With [[Slayers]], in the form of a light novel released in 2005.
* [[Cut Short]]: The manga adaptation of the novels.
* [[Dark Magical Girl]]: Esperanza {{spoiler|and Azalie}}, again.
* [[Dating Catwoman]]: {{spoiler|Esperanza seemed to be slightly attracted to Orphen, or at least be genuinely intrigued by him. She once even kisses him on the lips at some point. And then it's surbverted: she did have him in good regards, but her priority was protectin Lycoris.}}
* [[Deal with the Devil]]: {{spoiler|Marco Reika and Escalenna}}
Line 48 ⟶ 47:
* [[Driven to Suicide]]: {{spoiler|Lycoris}}, upon painfully finding out {{spoiler|she was [[Dead All Along]]. Sorta.}}. She later tries it again {{spoiler|to stop her family and her friends from fighting to the death.}}
* [[Dojikko]]: Lycoris
* [[Dub
* [[Dub Name Change]]: In the game, ''Scion of Sorcery''. Majik has his name changed to Magnus.
* [[Even Bad Men Love Their Mamas]]: Flamesoul loves his mother Shastanasi to [[Oedipus Complex]] extremes. {{spoiler|So does his twin younger brother, Flameheart}}
* [[Evil Plan]]: {{spoiler|Azalie's vengeance against the Tower of Fangs, which she starts when she switches bodies with Childman and infiltrates it}}. In the second season, {{spoiler|Marco Reika and Esperanza's plan to keep Lycoris alive and fill their [[Deal with the Devil]] with Escalenna}}
* [[Fake Memories]]: In the second season, {{spoiler|Escalenna erases Lycoris's memories of her family to use her as an [[Unwitting Pawn]] in her and Marco Reika's plans. As she guides Orphen towards Escalenna's lair, Lycoris is unaware of her own role and thinks she's an orphan girl taken in by the Royal Cavalry and assigned with taking Orphen to its headquarters. Later, however, she starts to remember... }}
* [[Femme Fatale]]: Esperanza
* [[Fingerless Gloves]]: Orphen
* [[Gender Bender]]: {{spoiler|Or better said, [[
* [[Grand Theft Me]]: {{spoiler|Azalie/Bloody August uses this to switch bodies with Childman}}
* [[He Knows Too Much]]: {{spoiler|Lai finds out about Azalie's [[Grand Theft Me]] and is encased in ice (He gets better later). Hartia finds out about ''both'' Lai and Azalie and is almost killed by her but manages to escape and reach Orphen, telling him the truth.}}
Line 80 ⟶ 79:
* [[Poor Communication Kills]]: {{spoiler|If only Azalie had known that Childman ''did'' care for her (and maybe was in love with her) and ''did'' want to save her in time, there would've been lotsa less drama.}} Same goes to {{spoiler|Orphen, who horribly misjudged Hartia at some point and thought of him as a traitor... though that was actually a part of Azalie's [[Batman Gambit]].}}
* [[Proper Lady]]: Mariabelle fits quite well.
* [[Romantic Runner-Up]]: Majic, to a degree
* [[Sensitive Guy and Manly Man]]: Majik and Orphen are the most blatant example. Orphen and Hartia, as well as Lai and Hartia, might also qualify to a degree.
** Even Dorchin and Volcan follow, though they might be a parody of the trope.
* [[Surrounded by Idiots]]: Orphen repeatedly utters this sentence (and variants) in the manga of the same name. You can't really blame him, though, since he is surrounded by nothing but [[The Load|loads]] and [[The Millstone|millstones]].

* [[Ted Baxter]]: Volkan
* [[Teen Genius]]: Azalie was the most powerful witch in training of her generation.
* [[The Load]]: The trolls Volcan and Dortin.
* [[Three Amigos]]: Orphen, Majic, and Cleo. At least for the first season.
* [[Tomato in the Mirror]]: {{spoiler|Esperanza was the girl who really died. Not Lycoris. Only Escalena and Marco Reika knew.}}
* [[Tomboy and Girly Girl]]: Cleao Everlasting is the Tomboy of two different duets. The first one is with Mariabelle, the other is with Lycoris Nielsen.
