Bannon & Clare is a series of four books by Lilith Saintcrow, set in an alternate Victorian Era where sorcerers, mentaths, dragons, gryphons and the like coexist. The series begins when, after a series of attacks on registered mentaths and disappearances of unregistered ones, Sorceress Prime Emma Bannon recruits recently unregistered mentath Archibald Clare, and the two try to stop a plot against the entire realm.

Super Intelligence: Mentaths like Clare have this as a power, although they don't usually react well to magic and its associated irrationality. | |

Artificial Limbs | |
| Bannon & Clare / int_1f137e42 | comment |
Artificial Limbs: Referred to as "Alterations". Altered people who just have replacement limbs are fine, but anything beyond that, such as to the torso, is considered... unnatural. | |

Noodle Incident | |
| Bannon & Clare / int_3c0a4666 | comment |
Noodle Incident: A month before the beginning of The Iron Wyrm Affair, Emma nearly had her magic stolen by another sorcerer. The exact details are left lacking, except that Mikal strangled him to save her. Clare, meanwhile, starts the series off having lost his mentath registration not that long ago for unknown reasons. All he's willing to admit is that he killed someone. | |

Funny Foreigner | |
| Bannon & Clare / int_434d893c | comment |
Funny Foreigner: Valintinelli leans into the "hot-blooded Neapolitan bravo" stereotype to make people underestimate him. (His natural English accent is pretty much the same as Clare's, an Yton graduate. He drops the exaggerated Italianisms when he wants to make a point.) | |

Bad Powers, Bad People | |
| Bannon & Clare / int_542b8e66 | comment |
Bad Powers, Bad People: For a long time, sorcerers with Disciplines too far on the Black side of the spectrum were simply executed when it became obvious, because of this thinking. By Emma's time, this only happens to Diabolic sorcerers (those that survive their own births, that is; too strong an inclination will mutate a developing fetus past the point of viability), but people are still extremely wary of her and seem to expect her to use her powers for ill. | |

Artistic License – History | |
| Bannon & Clare / int_56515a39 | comment |
Artistic License – History: Obviously the series takes some liberties due to being steampunk urban fantasy (unless Buckingham Palace was actually smashed flat by a giant mecha in real life), but the British aristocracy seems to function largely as in real life. Therefore, people should not still be addressing Emma as "Miss Bannon" after Victrix makes her a countess at the end of book 1. Mikal still calling her "Prima" makes sense, as magical titles would naturally take precedent for a Sorceress Prime, but everybody else should be calling her "my lady" or "Lady Selwyth". | |

Hoist by His Own Petard: Victrix orders the Red Plague made, with a rather horrifying disregard for possible collateral damage. Then that damage includes her own husband— he survives the initial course, but it ruins his health, such that he's too weak to survive another serious illness some years later. | |
