One example was an Earl who possessed a relic of Brimir and refused to let the church have it. He later died in a hunting accident, despite being sixty years old and hating hunting, and left the relic to the church in his will.

This resulted in von Leopold being warped to Halkaginia during his attempt to defeat the cockatrice guarding his geas contract and Kempner taking his seat on the Concave.

* MedievalStasis: Both Halkagenia's technology and magic are far behind Earth's and Osmond theorizes it's because with the Church (which is highly conservative in nature) mediating between the countries, they haven't had any large scale wars in millennia. On Earth there's numerous magical factions at war with each other, leading to constant innovation. For example, what Halkagenia considers the best locking spell in the world, Saito considers remarkably simple.

* {{Lightworlder}}: A magical variant. Compared to Halkagenia, Earth has a lot less ambient magic, so onmyojis compensate by having their talismans absorb and focus all magic in the area to cast their spells. Since Halkagenia has a lot more ambient magic, that means that any spell Saito casts through his talismans becomes... substantial.

* {{Lightworlder}}: A magical variant. Compared to Halkagenia, Earth has a lot less ambient magic, so onmyojis compensate by having Onmyojis have their talismans absorb and focus all ambient magic in the area and combine it with their own to cast their spells. Since Saito in particular has his Fire talismans take in a lot more ambient fire magic to compensate for his low proficiency in them. Compared to Earth, Halkagenia has a lot more ambient magic, that means that so any spell Saito casts through his talismans (especially Fire Magic) becomes... substantial.
** The higher level of ambient magic also means that Saito's body absorbs a lot more of it over time than he is normally used to, meaning that he can be poisoned by magic buildup if he doesn't cast spells to relieve the pressure.

* PowerLimiter: Saito ends up finding ''two'' on Louise that seal her magic. One turns out to be [[spoiler: Founder Brimir's seal that is laid on every born Void Mage in order to [[SecretTestOfCharacter test their drive for power]]]], the other turns out to be a seal laid by [[spoiler: Wardes]] for the purpose of weakening Louise and making her compliant. Both seals interfering with each other and Louise's sheer magical strength seeping through the cracks are the reason all her spells end up as explosions. Fortunately, Osmond has experience in breaking the second one.

* IOweYouMyLife: Henrietta states as much after Saito saves her from an assassination attempt.
* LoopholeAbuse: When Saito and Louise enter into a Master/Apprentice Contract, one of the punishments required for the contract to be legal (and thus any use at all to them) is the Deflowering Punishment. However, there's no laws specifying the infraction required to warrant said punishment beyond it has to be something possible for Louise to do. So the two of them set the infraction to the rather improbable "Casting ten explosions at Saito with malicious intent within five minutes followed by hitting him three times with a riding crop or whip".
** Later Saito points out that since there hasn't been a human Familiar since the laws regarding Familiars was written, there's several loopholes regarding his situation. For example, bedding Louise's personal maid would hardly be considered improper should it ever occur.

* UnderestimatingBadassery: Since he's only sixteen, most of the students underestimate Saito until his duel with Colbert to demonstrate his skills.
