Some of their major patients so far range from a sentient tree to a girl that is mysteriously invisible to a man suffering from a horrible sentient cancer. Various minor cases crop up that are even more bizarre, such as a man who cannot pronounce any word with the letter "E" in it or a woman trapped in slow motion from birth. Others are odd by our world's standards but considered commonplace by theirs, such as performing voluntary transformation services (like enlarging a pixie to human size so she can live among humans, or rejuvenating the elderly).

{{tropelist}}
This [[Web Comic]] contains examples of the following tropes:
* [[Anti-Magical Faction]]: Thoria in the past was this, as a reaction to a war where people turned themselves into beastmen with magic. They weren't against ''all'' magic, but severely restricted its use in their populace and they ejected non-humans from their society. When rejuvenation magic was rediscovered, there was a social revolution in Thoria and they softened their stance considerably. The author noted that this was an ironic situation, where the conservative old guys in charge were suddenly the ones who most wanted change.
* [[Apologizes a Lot]]: The ''artist,'' who often laments not being better at drawing.
