Crapsack World | |
| Shades of Magic / int_21d70919 | comment |
Crapsack World: White London has been doing very badly ever since Black London went under and Red London slammed their interdimensional doors shut. There's so little magic that it's always winter and people are starving, there are human sacrifices as a matter of course, and the rulers are nearly always violent sociopaths. | |

| Shades of Magic / int_8e971de4 | comment |
Tournament Arc: The bulk of the plot of A Gathering of Shadows centers on the Essen Tach (Element Games) a gladiatorial-style tournament for magicians, meant to entertain and keep healthy relations among the participating countries. Participants are required to wear masks and armor that breaks off in 28 pieces - the participant that loses 10 pieces of armor loses the round. In the finale, the armor is made up of 38 pieces, and all pieces must be broken off by the winner. Of the main characters, Kell, Lila and Alucard participate. Kell and Lila do face each other, Kell throws the fight in order to avoid being unmasked. Lila loses at a later round, however. Alucard makes it to the final round and wins. | |

Eye Scream: It's not until late in the first book that we find out that Lila has a glass eye, apparently because she lost one as a child. Since she turns out to be an Antari, it's likely that when her eye turned black, her parents didn't know what it meant and paid a surgeon to remove it. | |

Sweet Polly Oliver: Across the series, Lila consistently dresses in male attire with the intention of passing on as a man. Even being referred to as a Crossdresser by other characters. Lila's alias as The Shadow Thief and constant effort to present as a man are due to her and society's views on the fragility and weakness of most women and her trying to subvert them (although also having an influence by the character's canonical queerness). And, during the second book, Lila steals the identity of Stasion Elsor to fortake his place in the Essen Tasch, being able to fool most. | |

Healing Magic Is the Hardest | |
| Shades of Magic / int_c6aec72c | comment |
Healing Magic Is the Hardest: Normal healing magic requires a command of all five elements in precise balance, a rare gift that even impresses Kell when he learns one of his guards has it. In Red London, healers are believed to have been chosen by Magic itself for the priesthood. The Antari healing spell drains a disproportionate amount of magic to use, so they tend to avoid it except in life-or-death situations. | |

Hoist by His Own Petard: How Kell defeats Athos, despite Athos's greater power. He goads Athos into using his half of the black stone to summon a monster, having previously learned that creations of the stone always turn on their masters. The Mareshs are a milder, more heroic example. They wanted Kell to love Rhy like a brother, so he'd always protect him; unfortunately, they failed to realize that Rhy would do the same for Kell. | |

No Such Thing as Wizard Jesus: Red Londoners worship magic itself, but as an intrinsic part of humanity and nature rather than a divine being, and Kell is outright scornful of Grey London's belief in God. They also rebuff Osaron, a being of magic itself, when it calls itself a god. | |

Redemption Equals Death | |

Redemption Equals Death: In the last book, Holland gives up his magic to imprison Osaron. It doesn't kill him immediately, but he's very clearly not well and dies as soon as he gets home. | |

Unskilled, but Strong | |
| Shades of Magic / int_f25b1ae6 | comment |
Unskilled, but Strong: Lila is very naturally talented and strong with magic, but has no formal training and doesn't know when to stop pushing. So though she advances quite far, she still loses the Essen Tach. | |

Well-Intentioned Extremist: Holland. All he wants is to save his world. Unfortunately for our heroes, he'll do literally anything to achieve that goal, including torture, murder, and deals with demons who want to be gods. | |
