Line 237:
* [[Summon to Hand]]: The Mjollnir does this sometimes.
* [[Tempting Fate]]: Baldur. Seriously, you've got a prophesy of death in a world where [[You Can't Fight Fate]]. Something would kill him, ''no matter what anybody did.''
* [[Theme Naming]] (verging on [[Fantastic Racism]] in action): In one Eddic Creation myth of the classes of society, all the [[Made a Slave|Thralls]] have names that are some variation on "ugly", all the [[Determined Homesteader|Freemen]] have names that are some variation on "sturdy", and all the [[Blue Blood|Nobles]] have names
* [[Too Dumb to Live]]: Arguably the Norse gods. Prior to the Ragnarök they pretty much went around making enemies, mainly by imprisoning monsters and torturing them. Seen in this light, [[Big Badass Wolf|Fenrir]] had all the right in the world to eat Odin.
** [[Protagonist-Centered Morality|Protagonist centered morality]] excused him.
