| Whyborne and Griffin / int_1276a67a | comment |
Adorkable: Whyborne becomes a sorcerer of no small reputation, feared and sought after. He also remains forever clumsy and goofy, with perpetually unfashionable, unruly hair. | |

Ludd Was Right | |
| Whyborne and Griffin / int_3862fa01 | comment |
Ludd Was Right: It's a running gag that Whyborne thinks most emerging technology is a passing fad. Some examples include complaining that electric lights are too artificial compared to gas powered lights, refusing to understand why one would prefer actually talking on telephones over sending a telegram and being terrified whenever he's stuck in an automobile. | |

Power Incontinence | |
| Whyborne and Griffin / int_571a3c67 | comment |
Power Incontinence: As Whyborne's magical talent grows in later books, his power will flare up without his conscious effort whenever he gets sufficiently angry enough. Commonly this manifests as the air whipping into rough winds around him, nearby liquids and surfaces freezing and ships rocking if he happens to be upon a boat when his temper rises. Also in later books, when he cast sufficiently powerful spells, he tends to burn off the clothing on his right arm as his scars burn with arcane energy. | |

Lovecraft Country: Hawk was directly inspired by Lovecraftian horror and even makes references to specific stories. Widdershins itself is very similar to Innsmouth. | |

Bedlam House: Stormhaven Asylum. The asylum Griffin was sent to as well. Not surprising, given the time period and the inspiration. Stanford seems to be the only one with decent care, which only happens because his father is one of the richest men in America. | |

Non-Idle Rich: Niles generally takes his business and its duties very seriously and makes a point of working hard even though he's old money and probably wouldn't have to. He takes this attitude outside of work, as well, having fought as a union soldier, and continuing to help fight and plan in his old age. | |
