| Eigengrau / Fan Fic | comment |
Part of The Weedverse, Eigengrau depicts the beginning of Dim Dark's adventure outside his home in the Dark Spire, from which the infamous House of Dark has lived for centuries.After rebelling against the systematic emotional and sexual abuse inflicted on all members of his family, Dim cannot return to the Dark Spire, and tries to lose himself in the Grittish Isles, making a living as a wizard for hire and believing himself beyond saving. He may be right, but there are those who won't give up on him yet.Now has a sequel, Eigengrau Zwei: Die Welt Ist Grau Geworden. | |

| Eigengrau / Fan Fic / int_1226f314 | comment |
Dream Walker: Luna, as always, in this case she's trying to convince Dim to return home to Equestria. Also, he gets dreams of the Nameless One, much like Shēdo did, although significantly less pleasant, as in his case he drowns in her inky tears. | |

Darker and Edgier: Easily the darkest of the Weedverse stories, with the direct depiction of an extremely abusive home life, and the most anti-heroic protagonist. | |

Big, Screwed-Up Family | |
| Eigengrau / Fan Fic / int_154aa477 | comment |
Big, Screwed-Up Family: The House of Dark qualify, producing more bad wizards than any other, using sexual and emotional abuse to control their young, quenching dissenters ruthlessly and having achieved purity of blood by only "intermingling" with each other. They have become less big of late though, due to losses to arrests and their physical weaknesses. | |

Beam-O-War | |
| Eigengrau / Fan Fic / int_2a51fd2d | comment |
Beam-O-War: Two unicorns can end up in one if the right circumstances are met, and at that point, it becomes nothing more than a battle of wills and magical power. Dim is lacking in the latter department, but makes up by fighting dirty. The magical nexus is a light source, a valid target for his spell. Suddenly plunging the fight into darkness is often sufficiently disconcerting to break his opponent's concentration and end the clash. | |

Screaming Woman: The "pink voice" (Princess Cadance) in Dim's head spends most of his fight through Shepherd's Shore screaming and weeping. In this case, it's because the only thing she can do is communicate with Dim, and he's not listening to her, so screaming is literally the best thing she can do. It doesn't help]]. | |

Improvised Weapon: Dim knows quite a lot of utility spells and other simple spells, and enjoys finding lethal uses for them. As the spells are so simple and low-power, they're often much more efficient than proper combat spells. This Boring, but Practical tendency was looked down by most of the House. | |

Background Magic Field | |
| Eigengrau / Fan Fic / int_649b0880 | comment |
Background Magic Field: With the aid of hallucinogens, Dim uses magic from deeper into the earth than most mages do, as the magic infused into chalk and salt is less corrupted than the rest. Very few ponies are able to touch magic that far down, and tracking where the magic is being drawn from allows Celestia to locate Dim. | |

Lethal Harmless Powers: Dim's special spell. The ability to make things dark isn't immediately obviously dangerous, but the psychological impact of suddenly being dropped into darkness shouldn't be underestimated, and if stuck on, say, a shield spell, it suddenly puts a massive incentive on dropping your defenses. | |

Functional Addict: Dim spends most of his time high on a variety of different drugs, but uses different mixes while on the job, invoking Higher Understanding Through Drugs rather than just recreational and medical effects. Unfortunately, when he gets unexpectedly thrust into a stressful situation, things go bad, quickly. Later, on Tortoise-Tuga, he "banishes" his addictions to avoid any fatal weakness while there. | |

Dramatically Missing the Point: While Dim is recovering in Shepherd's Shore, a group of Grittish soldiers attack the town in retribution for missing taxes. Dim, due to being drugged up and in a very low point emotionally, snaps and misinterprets this as a ruse by bandits, something he has a duty to fight. | |

One-Man Army | |
| Eigengrau / Fan Fic / int_9e943076 | comment |
One-Man Army: Dim can quite casually go through a small army of pegasi. note The narration makes clear that his body is under a lot of strain during this specific incident, but a significant portion of that is due to deprivation and drugs, rather than the combat directly. | |

Weak, but Skilled | |
| Eigengrau / Fan Fic / int_9eb11fac | comment |
Weak, but Skilled: Like several other characters, Dim's talent is not for magic, reducing his raw power, but his training and skill makes up for it. | |

Playing with Syringes | |
| Eigengrau / Fan Fic / int_aea164f3 | comment |
Playing with Syringes: It is common practice in the House of Dark to use potions to manipulate mother's milk and affect their foals. Dim's transformation was taken further than most, and he was turned into an Umbrum, the same kind of creature as Sombra. | |

Abusive Parents | |
| Eigengrau / Fan Fic / int_b11ac9f5 | comment |
Abusive Parents: Dark Desire, who manipulated Dim and Darling into committing incest to control them and was responsible for Dim turning into an Umbrum for Grogar. For that matter, the entire House of Dark systematically abuses everyone inside it, but she's the one we've seen most of. | |

The Soulless: Although it's not clear whether he's rightnote He probably isn't, Dim believes that he doesn't have a soul because his astral form is black, rather than glowing like most creatures' (This is the result of his mother's experiments transforming him into an Umbrum). | |

Non-Human Undead: The zebra necromancer is raising chickens and cows as undead. Because of how his particular form of necromancy works, this means he also engages in another trope. | |

Hard Work Hardly Works: Played With. The Darks believe that they should be powerful, so sell their souls for power, while Dim's willingness to work for what he wants prevents him being corrupted in the same way. | |

Royal Inbreeding: The House of Dark firmly believes in the trope. It has an additional benefit of encouraging its members to stay, as their participation in the trope would potentially make them pariahs outside of the Spire. | |

You Can't Go Home Again: After attacking (and probably killing) his mother, Dim is forced to leave the Dark Spire and Equestria for fear of being arrested. Later, he's offered a chance to return to Equestria by Princess Celestia, but the Dark Spire itself has been destroyed and most of the Darks killed by the Princesses. | |

Lethal Joke Item | |
| Eigengrau / Fan Fic / int_da1c64ef | comment |
Lethal Joke Item: Stutter-Startle is viewed as little more than a foalhood prank by most serious casters, but its minimal energy requirements mean that when thrown by an adult wizard it can be made to penetrate most defenses. Once in place, it's a little disconcerting, but harmless...unless you're a wizard who needs to focus and speak clearly to fight properly. | |

Weakened by the Light: Dim finds the sunlight blinding, and it burns, as a result of his upbringing in darkness. Because he also believes in other tropes, he conflates this with Good Hurts Evil and initially refuses to return to Equestria at Celestia's request because he believes her light will destroy him. | |
