* OddlySmallOrganization: They are the US government agency responsible for regulating magic users and keeping everything a secret. The organization is so small that they are hit hard by the resignation of a single agent. When it comes down to keeping track of a potentially dangerous WildCard, Magus, they are so hard pressed for agents that they resort to using a wizard who just left the teaching profession, a wizard BoxedCrook, a novice, and only one official agent.

* RewatchBonus: A lot of past scenes with Magus come into focus once we learn the truth. Most notably, a scene where he observes Nanase and says "Girlfriend - feh. You would ''so'' be a man in my universe" initially comes across as both weirdly sexist and homophobic. It turns out [[spoiler: while he ''is'' kind of sexist, it's a form specific to his universe, where genderswapping is common and people are expected to take the gender that "fits" their profession. He literally thinks a powerful magical fighter like Nanase should ''become'' male. And since the contemptious "girlfriend" comment is about the partner of an alternate version of himself ''who he '''also''' thinks should be male'', whatever it is, it probably isn't homophobic.]]

However, his personal investment in their wellbeing compromises his professionalism, to the point of attacking a criminal who hurt Nanase and was planning to murder Ellen ''after'' he surrendered. This results in his boss removing him from his position and transferring him to a new post.

His superior suspected as much and his suspicion is confirmed when Edward attacks a criminal ''after'' he surrendered because of what Abraham did to Nanase and Ellen. Because of his excess personal investment in whatever happens to the main characters, his superior removes him from his position into a new one made just for him.
