Magical Incantation: With the phrase "Thunder and Lightning, Trumpets and Drums, Readers Rejoice, a Storylord Comes!" Norby (and later Mandy) can use the bike-a-tron to teleport to Mojuste. | |

| Storylords / int_50ae8e55 | comment |
Little Miss Snarker: Mandy occupies this role from time to time, even around the intimidating (or not so intimidating) Thorzuul. | |

Villain Decay: Thorzuul can suffer from this, going from a big bad guy to someone who sneezes at dandelions. | |

Harmless Villain | |
| Storylords / int_8c23b321 | comment |
Harmless Villain: Thorzuul's challenges may have potentially adverse consequences, but aside from turning people to stone occasionally, Thorzuul does not seem to do much that is really evil. Some of the ways he tries to trap the apprentice storylords near the end of the series may be examples of Not-So-Harmless Villain however. | |

Chekhov's Classroom | |
| Storylords / int_a5001f7f | comment |
Chekhov's Classroom: Somehow, Mrs. Framish always has either covered the necessary reading skill that day, or taught it the next day, in plenty of time for Norby to use it to defeat Thorzuul. | |

Summon Everyman Hero: This is part of the reason why Norby is surprised that Lexor believes he is the key to saving Mojuste. | |

Overlord Jr. | |
| Storylords / int_f8e7ac96 | comment |
Overlord Jr.: Thorzuul Jr. is introduced near the end of the series and he clearly resembles his father. The teacher's guide also mentions Thorzuul Jr.'s cousin Kayzuul. | |
