This series provides examples of:
* [[A God Am I]]
* [[Action Survivor]]: With the possible exception of supporting characters like Mendark or [[Cool Old Guy|Xervish Flydd]], most of the characters in the series are scribes or engineers, who tend to [[Indy Ploy]] their way through most situations.
Line 17:
* [[Death Seeker]]
* [[Downer Ending]]: The first series had this mildly, the second was horribly depressing. The third series is somewhat nicer but still horribly grim.
* [[The End of the World Asas We Know It]]: Oh look! It's Tuesday. Time for Armageddon.
* [[Fatal Flaw]]: Aachim and Faellem pride. It is noted by many characters that even the most unbiased and open Aachim Malien is not free of overwhelming arrogance.
* [[Half-Human Hybrid]]: Blendings have the blood of two races, triunes have 3 and quartines or{{spoiler|tetrarchs}} have 4. Liable to be riddled with mental and physical problems.
Line 25:
* [[The Napoleon]]: Cryl-Nish, especially painful as his nickname means ''pipsqueak''.
* [[Not Quite Dead]]: {{spoiler|Jal-Nish}}
* [[Our Elves Are Better]]: They're called "Aachim" here, but ''boy'' are they pricks.
* [[Really Seven Hundred Years Old]]: All the other races, although Yggur(old human) gets this as well.
* [[Schizo-Tech]]: Everywhere in the second series. Mainly because having been at war for more than a hundred years, all scientific efforts are focused on making better weapons and nothing else.
* [[Squick]]: Ian Irvine seems to take sadistic glee in being sadistic towards his characters. {{spoiler|Look at everything he does to Flydd. And Jal-Nish. And Karan. And... well, you get it. }}Sadist.
* [[Took a Level Inin Badass]]: In the time between ''The View from the Mirror'' and ''Song of the Tears'', {{spoiler|Maigraith}} apparently decided to stop faffing about and put her considerable mind and talent to sinister use. [[Face Heel Turn|Not good news]].
* [[Wangst]]: Minis, Tiaan and Nish especially. Nish improves a fair bit over the course of the series though.
* [[We Are Asas Mayflies]]: Old humans, who are also the weakest race with the least magical talent (most of the time).
* [[What Measure Is a Non-Human?]]: Used liberally in the second series. It turns out that the lyrinx {{spoiler|are actually old humans}}.
