* NotQuiteTheRightThing: Chris's father, Cosmo, divined his future at birth and foresaw that silver would be immensely dangerous to him. He immediately cast every single spell, enhancement and blessing he could to make silver neutral to him. This ended up making silver negate his ability to use magic. When he hears this, he gets depressed with himself once more because another word for silver is 'argent,' referring to his estranged wife's family. Most notably, Ralph Argent.

* StatingTheSimpleSolution: Chris Chant's powers are blocked if he is touching silver, which causes problems during mealtimes when eating with ''silver''ware. Near the end of the story, a baffled Janet asks him why they haven't switched to stainless steel cutlery. The castle's staff are rather embarrassed to realize they overlooked this.

** Christopher's mother is a ControlFreak social climber and his father a {{Workaholic}} who blew all his money, both of whom, though they do love him, [[MeddlingParents want to dictate his life]] for personal gain. Cat and Gwendolen's parents are both implied to have been very kind, even seeming to realize that [[spoiler:Gwendolen was using Cat's magic somehow]], but they die within the first two pages.
