Line 14:
* [[Dark And Troubled Past]]: Two mystery plotlines concern Snake's and Mac Cécht's past deeds.
* [[Ditzy Genius]]: Merlin Ambrosius is an old cranky oddball, but his advice is sometimes indispensable.
* [[Foreshadowing]]: Some plot points are anticipated by earlier episodes in the story.
** In Berwyn's first scene he is watching a group of students play Transformations - a poetic game which often involves imagining yourself as the forms you invoke in your lines. He ends up {{Spoiler|mastering Tuatha De Danann poetry indirectly, through his transformation ability}}.
** Cerwyn Quirt restores Ceridwen's note from ashes despite not being supposed to, invoking the idea of "one must not violate the laws of nature/entropy" long before {{Spoiler|this turns out to be the motive behind Dian Mac Cecht's filicide}}.
* [[Friend to All Living Things]]: Gwydion ap Cleddyf. His mentor Tarquin Snake, [[Inverted Trope|however]], is a friend to all ''non-living'' things: fire, metals, ancient organic compounds and others.
* [[Geas]]: Dian Mac Cécht must let his hair down during surgery and never cut it.
