Line 20:
* [[Curtains Match the Window]]: Mica has [[Hair of Gold]] and [[Eyes of Gold]].
* [[Dark Is Not Evil]]: Ice-call is the power of dark, cold, and death, but it's still not ''evil'' at all. Heck, our protagonist is an ice priestess.
* [[Dark
* [[Defrosting Ice Queen]]: Mica isn't very fond of Calwyn, at first.
* [[Discard and Draw]]: At the end of ''The Waterless Sea'' when {{spoiler|Calwyn over exerts herself and wakes up unable to make anything happen with her chantment.}}
Line 26:
* [[Elemental Powers]]: The Nine Powers, depending on how far you've gotten through the last book. Ice/Darkness, Fire/Light, Wind, Iron,--hold on, now--Becoming, Tongue, Beasts, Seeming, and Goddess/the Great Power/the Power of all that is. ''The Tenth Power:'' is the awesome might of {{spoiler|writing in general, and musical notation in the specific, which grants the world of Tremaris the ability to record and teach the chantments without resorting to oral tradition and memory.}}
* [[Fantastic Racism]]: People who have knowledge of chantments aren't exactly ''loved''...
* [[Five
** [[The Heroine]]: Calwyn
** [[The Lancer]]: Darrow
Line 47:
* [[The Magocracy]]: Antaris is ruled by the priestesses, who all have the Power of Ice. Because of this it is also a...
* [[Matriarchy]]: since men are generally incapable of singing the high notes necessary for Ice Call.
* [[May
* [[Messy Hair]]: Trout sports this to go with his 'absentminded inventor' persona.
* [[Mutually Exclusive Magic]]: It's originally thought that only one individual in the whole world, the eponymous Singer of All Songs, had the power to learn every chantment.
* [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero]]: The crew of the ''Fledgwing'' fights their way to the tower where Samis is in order to take him down, only to find {{spoiler|the Chantments they used have been helping him to bring the Nine Powers under his control.}}
* [[No Ontological Inertia]]: Justified in that {{spoiler|the Palace of Cobwebs didn't actually have anything holding it up other than continuous ironcraft}}. Generally things will continue to exist after being sung into that state (i.e. the Ice Wall around Antaris, which has to be maintained but doesn't automatically vanish).
* [[Noble Savage|Noble Savages]]: The Tree People.
Line 57:
* [[Proud Warrior Race]]: The Tree People.
* [[Psychic Powers]]: The Tree People's form of communication involves talking telepathically into people's minds.
* [[Ragtag Bunch of Misfits]]: The Samis-fighting crew of the ''Fledgewing'' is pretty much patched together of whomever they happened to meet and [[Fire
* [[Screw This, I'm Outta Here]]: Trout tries to do this soon after his arrival on the ''Fledgewing''.
* [[Sibling Yin
* [[Switching POV]]: The vast majority of the series is third-person limited point of view centering on Calwyn. However, Darrow and Trout also get turns when Constable needs to show a scene Calwyn is absent for.
* [[Taking the Bullet|Taking The Flying Knife]]: {{spoiler|Xanni does this to save Darrow.}}
Line 68:
* [[We Can Rule Together]]: Samis offers this to Calwyn. {{spoiler|She refuses.}}
** He also first said this {{spoiler|to Darrow}}.
* [[What the Hell, Hero?]]: Mica calls Calwyn out for wanting to give up the fight against Samis.
* [[Wham Line]]: "Not me! {{spoiler|MICA!}}"
** And from ''The Singer of All Songs'': "The attack came without warning."
* [[Wig, Dress, Accent]]: {{spoiler|Keela.}} But she employs a turban and some colored contacts instead.
* [[You Can't Go Home Again]]: {{spoiler|Subverted. Calwyn comes home to a very, very changed Antaris and has to hide from Tamen in a barn, but soon her home is returned to more or less its old state.}}
