Line 22:
* [[Deus Ex Machina]]: The literal version: it's hard to face Mystra's top-rank servants with overwhelming power or control them, but doing this tend to attract her personal (and rather annoyed) attention. In ''Myth Drannor'' several elven High Mages were quite disconcerted to have a goddess manifest and wag her finger at them. During [[The Very Definitely Final Dungeon|The Very Definitely Final Battle]] of ''Elminster in Hell''. {{spoiler|The Red Wizards are invading Aglarond, blasting everything in sight, Elminster and the Simbul are exhausted, and then an avatar of Mystra rejuvenates them and [[Curb Stomp Battle|the battle ends very quickly.]]}}
* [[Deus Sex Machina]]: Elminster is made one of the Chosen at the end of ''Making of a Mage'' by having sex with an [[God in Human Form|avatar of Mystra]]. [[Zero G Spot|In midair]]. And they get seen by a merchant on the road, which becomes [[Crowning Moment of Funny|one of the most hilarious moments in the book]].
* [[Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?]]: {{spoiler|The Simbul rescues Elminster from the grip of an archdevil at the climax of ''Elminster in Hell''. And blows said archdevil to smithereens.}} He starts to worry only when she blasts a pit fiend out of her way ''without even slowing down''. Hell hath no fury like Alassra when she gets really mad.
* [[Divine Date]]: Elminster and the first Mystra have a romantic, sometimes sexual, relationship {{spoiler|that started when he knew her as [[God in Human Form|Myrjala Darkeyes]]}}. Said relationship does not continue after Midnight [[Ascend to A Higher Plane of Existence|ascends]] following the first Mystra's death during the Time of Troubles.
* [[Doomed Hometown]]: Elminster's village is burned to the ground by a dragon-riding wizard at the beginning of ''Making of a Mage'' {{spoiler|with the intent of assassinating Elminster's father, a [[King Incognito|Prince Incognito]]}}. Elminster survives because he was herding sheep in the hills.
