* [[Rewriting Reality]]: The Cosmic Forge allows this. However to prevent it from being used for evil, if not used while in the Cosmic Circle, [[Jackass Genie|it will interpret the writing in a way the writer will deeply regret.]]

* [[The Smurfette Principle]]: Private Sparkle is the only female Trynnie in Wizardry 8, and she isn't even found living with the rest of her kind, as she left Trynton to get help from the Umpani. Strongly averted with the many female Higardi and Rapax.

* [[Temple of Doom]]: The Isle of Crypts. Justified in that it was ''designed'' to protect the object resting at the bottom.

* [[Under the Sea]]: ''Wizardry 8'' finally takes the party beneath the waves with Umpani-issue scuba gear. Watch out for sea monsters.

* [[Unusable Enemy Equipment]]: You have probably fought at least a hundred Rattkin Leaders with Vorpal blades until you actually find one. And then it is a letdown.
* [[Unusable Enemy Equipment]]: Attack names and drop contents are completely separate. So you have probably fought at least a hundred Rattkin Leaders with Vorpal blades until you actually find one. And then it is a letdown. Same for T'Rang weapons: you may get T'Rangs' ultimate loot (Shock Rod 25%, Stun Rod 5% - and even then it does Plyze 20% Drain 75% instead of their Plyze 50% Drain 25% or Plyze 65% Drain 35%) from Elders, as well as Assassins or NPCs who whipped you with Psi Rod, others drop T'Rangs' basic loot (5% of Shock Rod) - even a Watcher (with Stun Rod) or Tecnik (who just shot you with Phaser Bolts).
* [[Useless Useful Spell]]: Averted again, every spell is useful if you know where to use it. For example the hardest monsters could be killed by [[Critical Hit|critical hits]] easily if you cast one of the seemingly less useful spell at them a couple of times.

* [[The Very Definitely Final Dungeon]]: The Temple of Ramm in ''6'' and Isle of Crypts in ''7''. ''8'' oddly doesn't really have one, with Ascension Peak standing in for a final dungeon.

* [[World of Buxom]]: Pretty much all of the females in Wizardry 8, including Vi Domina and just about all other human women (including the purple-robed cultists), Al-Sedexus, the female Rapax, the female Trynnie Sparkle (large for her small size, at least), and many statues of humanoid females. Even the giant breeder rats technically count as this.
