** Irma also transformed once without it to draw some boy's attention (she hid her wings). More than a TransformationTrinket, it just make them more powerful in their Guardian forms. Also, they no longer use it to transform (Yan Lin has it now).

* GenreBlindness: the Oracle told them many times that their greatest strength is their unity. Anyway, the girls will often use the LetsSplitUpGang move at the worst moment. Will also told Hay Lin that monsters don't exist ''at the beginning of the Ragorland saga'', ie after 60 issues in a AllMythsAreTrue series.



* KilledOffForReal: let's be clear, the WITCH are nice girls, but if you are the BigBad and they have to unleash AllYourColorsCombined, they don't care whether you will be depowered or killed. The Oracle never forbid them to kill. Expect a lot of RedemptionEqualsDeath, too.
* KneelBeforeFrodo: it is almost a RuningGag: at the end of most saga, the Oracle orders the assembly to kneel before the guardians. Which they ''shouldn't'', given that it is the guardians duty to protect Kandrakar, but every time the Oracle underlines that they did way beyond their duty, and were smarter than the "wises".



* LightIsNotGood: the girls sided with the White Queen, won... And wondered whether they chose the good side.



*** Parodied when Will asks how important he was, and just then Kandor call him "captain".



* SexierAlterEgo - The titular ''Comicbook/{{WITCH}}'' are fairly average (albeit skinny) teenagers in their normal form. When transformed however, the are changed to look much more.. adult. Lampshaded on more than one occasion.

** BreastExpansion is present is the comic book, but not as prevalent as in the series.



* TheParagonAlwaysRebels: Nerissa. Later Phobos will use against Will her fear of becoming that.



* WingsDoNothing: At first, the guardians wings are pretty much useless and Hay Lin is the only one who can actually fly. At one point in the third saga, Orube asks why they even have them if they can't actually use them. However, in the seventh saga, the girls get a power upgrade which include bigger wings that allow them to fly (but Cornelia is afraid to).

* UnfortunateImplications: Not on the comic itself, but on some of the merchandise, the only ones who get excluded are Hay Lin and Taranee.



* [[WhereTheHellIsSpringfield Where The Hell Is Heatherfield]]: Most people seems to agree it's somewhere in Europe... and that's as far as the guessing goes...
** There's one issue where there is the flag of the USA in either the Principal's office or somewhere within the girls' school.
*** However, they use euros in one issue... AlternateUniverse?
*** Not only that, AlternateUniverse of CodeGeass?
*** Ireland? The flag was decorative?

* CloudCuckoolander: Hay Lin: very quirky and artistic, cheerful and absent-minded, constantly writing on her palms and using her own expressions like "spacious" (which in her language means "cool") and "weirdific".


* WallBanger The romantic relationship between [[spoiler:Will]] and [[spoiler:Matt]] builds up gradually, to the point she even reveals her secret to him and he agrees to keep it and even to help her as much as he can, which ends up in him risking his life and defeating a BigBad with his own hands. Cue the New Power saga: years of relationship and character development are thrown out of the window and [[spoiler:Matt]] is revealed to be some sort of teacher that came from Kandrakar to watch over them. Besides the obvious implications (the writer remembered that he's supposed to still love her only the last issues of the saga, in an AuthorsSavingThrow), this choice just raises further questions. [[spoiler:For example, are Matt and his mother really related?]]
** I never got the impression that [[spoiler: Matt]] originally came from Kandrakar. I thought [[spoiler: Matt]] said that the oracle had decided to entrust him with the task of helping the girls master their new powers (presumably because he was the only person aware of their secret who was available at the time) because the oracle could not contact the girls during that saga, and had given him the necessary means to accomphlish this task?
