Line 12:
Knowing this, Coco traces over a basic rune, casts a light spell, fire spell, figures out the basics of spellcasting... and casts forbidden [[Black Magic]] that turns her mum into stone which destroys her house. Well, Coco now has no choices ''but'' to become a witch's apprentice. Thus, she and Qifrey travels to his atelier and becomes his apprentice. The manga focuses on the (mis)adventures of Coco, her mentors, and the other apprentice girls at the atelier: the quiet and reclusive Richeh, the enthusiastic and outgoing Tetia, and the academic and focused Agott.
Fun fact: ''Witch Hat Atelier''{{'}}s creator Kamome Shirahama is a big fan of ''[[The Owl House]]'', and ''The Owl House'' creator [[Dana Terrace]] is a big fan of ''Witch Hat Atelier''! The two series, despite being produced in different countries, in different mediums, with different languages, still follow the same fundamental concept: an enthusiastic [[Naive Newcomer]] witch finds the world of [[Geometric Magic]] that seems sunshine and rainbows on the surface, but hides many dark secrets beneath its whimsical layer.

Line 21 ⟶ 23:
** The Romonons, who [[Taken for Granite|transform people into living statues of gold]].
* [[Come Out, Come Out, Wherever You Are]]: A member of the Brimmed Caps does this during the second magic trial. Richeh, Agott, and Euini are hiding from the member who has interrupted their second magical trial.
* [[Cliffhanger]]: The end of volume two in English, where {{spoiler|Coco is about to get her memory wiped by the Knights Moralis}}.
* [[Cute Witch]]: Almost everyone in Qifrey's atelier.
* [[The Dark Arts]]: The Brimmed Caps use this, using combat and transformation magic which they claim is far more powerful than what the permitted [[White Magic]] allows for. They wish to make Coco learn it them, slowly influencing her life, even going as far as to {{spoiler|transform Euini into a beast so Coco will be forced to learn the Dark Arts to turn him back}}.
Line 27 ⟶ 29:
* [[Defrosting Ice Queen]]: Agott, who slowly opens herself up to Coco. Initially, she forces Coco to take the first trial when Coco is barely qualified to do so, with little experience, and eventually starts helping Coco.
* [[Deus Ex Machina]]: The series makes use of the illogical placement and timing variation.
** In volume three, when {{spoiler|Tetia shows up just before Coco is about to get her memories wiped}}.
** In volume five, when {{spoiler|Richeh and Olruggo shows up and casts a fire barrier spell to save Qifrey from danger}}.
* [[Early Teen Hero]]: Coco, as well as the other girls at Qifrey's atelier (Tetia, Richeh, Agott) appear around this age. The [https://witch-hat-atelier.fandom.com/wiki/Witch_Hat_Atelier_Wiki Witch Hat Atelier wiki] [[Word of Dante|states]] that the characters' ages are 12.
* [[Easy Amnesia]]: The Knights Moralis are easilly able to wipe the memories of people who have seen magic. This almost happens at the end of volume two, {{spoiler|but Tetia quickly rushes in and stalls for time until Qifrey arrives to convince the Knights Moralis ''not'' to wipe the memories of Coco.}}
Line 57 ⟶ 59:
** Coco accidentally transforms her own mother by tracing over a [[Black Magic]] glyph, setting up the events of the manga.
* [[Wild Magic]]: The magic system before the Knights Moralis and the The Witches' Assembly was like this, where everyone had access to magic, although this lead to the abuse of magic, involving acts such as the forced transformation of another person, and war crimes.
* [[Wham! Episode]]: Chapter 36, the first chapter of volume 7, gives us a big lore dump regarding Qifrey's past reminding you that this is a [[Seinen]] manga. {{spoiler|It's also the chapter where Coco ran off to the Tower of Tomes}}.
* [[World in the Sky]]: The first magic trial takes place in the Dadah range, where the objective is to pick the Diadem herb. The range is made up of many spherical slices of earth floating in the air, suspended seemingly by nothing.
* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair]]: Richeh's blue hair stands out the most, although Tetia's pink and Qifrey's silver are also notable.
