Anyone Can Die: At present, no character is truly safe, and each issue ends with a tally of which major characters got killed off that issue. | |

Our Elves Are Different | |
| Magic Powder (Comic Book) / int_15fc9fb | comment |
Our Elves Are Different: In this setting, the elves were once ruthless conquerors who have taken over most of the world. In the present, they are supposedly civilized and peaceful, but Zjah and Volta prove that their old instincts never truly went away. | |

With Great Power Comes Great Insanity | |
| Magic Powder (Comic Book) / int_208c4494 | comment |
With Great Power Comes Great Insanity: Strangelight's extensive powder use has given her something approaching functional omniscience, which has made her quite rich as an information broker, but it's also fried her brain so badly that she had to write a dossier on herself to remind her to eat and stay hydrated. | |

Fantastic Drug | |
| Magic Powder (Comic Book) / int_2cd22076 | comment |
Fantastic Drug: The titular magic powder, also called fairy dust, has the power to give users temporary enhancements. For instance, Zjah is able to use it to augment his strength, while Volta uses it to make himself look like an orc. | |

Wretched Hive: Thesz is overrun by dwarvish, orcish and goblin gangs. The only reason anyone would want to live there is because it's the only city not controlled by the elves. | |

Had to Come to Prison to Be a Crook | |
| Magic Powder (Comic Book) / int_4de1544 | comment |
Had to Come to Prison to Be a Crook: Timebomb, the dwarvish bomber, was innocent when he was first sent to prison - he was wrongfully arrested because it was assumed that he and his fellow demolitionists made a bomb that struck Thesz. After escaping, he was unable to find legitimate work and thus became a bomb-maker for the dwarvish mob. | |

The Big Guy | |
| Magic Powder (Comic Book) / int_500ecfb7 | comment |
The Big Guy: Fazull is a hit-minotaur, so large that he can only operate in Thesz for short bursts because he towers over every other sentient creature there, and is therefore an easy target for return fire. Indeed, he is killed in the third issue, when the dwarves track down his farm, surround him, and shoot out one of his kneecaps. Issue 4 introduces Leph, the Seeker's large orcish bodyguard. As the Seeker is a goblin and not particularly strong, he uses Leph to intimidate larger folks. | |

| Magic Powder (Comic Book) / int_51300dbf | comment |
Fat Bastard: Oz, Gundel's successor as the head of the orc clans, is a massively obese orc who is well-known for his cannibalism. He's also much-despised for being a vicious bully who forces other orcs into rigged games of chance. | |

Fantastic Racism | |
| Magic Powder (Comic Book) / int_57b80b45 | comment |
Fantastic Racism: The various races do not like each other, and the only reason they've avoided an outright war for so long was because of the Dwarvfather. His arrest at the start of the series creates a power vacuum that Zjah exacerbates by killing two of the gang leaders. | |

The Shut-In | |
| Magic Powder (Comic Book) / int_6d0a1b85 | comment |
The Shut-In: Issue 4 introduces Strangelight, a powder-addicted dwarf who pretty much can't leave her apartment because she's fried her brain on powder and can barely remember who she is most of the time. It's revealed that the "Thesz Reports" that appear at the back of each issue were written by her, as a way of compiling blackmail so that nobody comes after her. | |

Klingon Promotion | |
| Magic Powder (Comic Book) / int_b2c737e8 | comment |
Klingon Promotion: The orcish clans have a very simple promotion system - you kill someone and then you get to take their spot in the hierarchy until someone else kills you. This is how Gundel became the head of the orc clans, and when he's killed, his lieutenants immediately slaughter each other to determine who will become the new boss. | |

Spotting the Thread | |
| Magic Powder (Comic Book) / int_ec0ce986 | comment |
Spotting the Thread: In the third issue, Oz begins to wonder if it was really the dwarves who killed Gundel, because while the method of execution (smashing the head with a hammer) matches dwarven gangster customs, and dwarves are the only ones who easily could lift a hammer that size, there were also signs of magic use, something that dwarves can't do. | |
