Nobody's fooled.
* MakingASplash: Aldo is naturally Water-elemental, and learns Water-based spells.
* WhatIsThisThingYouCallLove: When Alice praises him as a person, he's stunned by the emotion it caused, and initially thinks that it's some kind of a spell. As it turns out, ''nobody'' in his life has ever saw value in him personally, and as such he has never felt truly happy. This is why he doesn't know how to interpret his feelings when he does experience them.

* WiseBeyondTheirYears: Deconstructed to an extent. She is ''incredibly'' bright for her age, being able to make a legitimate living at ten years old. However, due to her age she still doesn't know some things, and refuses to get any help from outside, taking it for the adult not taking her seriously.
