Added DiffLines:

'''Basic Trope''': A series that is originally grounded in reality starts incorporating more and more fantastical elements
* '''Straight''': [[AliceAndBob Alice and Bob]] starts in Season 1 with the main cast of Alice and Bob - two regular humans who both work at a coffee shop. However, by Season 3, a coworker named Charlie is hired, who is a wizard who uses his magical abilities on the job to speed things up.
* '''Exaggerated''': Episode 1 of [[AliceAndBob Alice and Bob]] follows the two titular characters working at their Troperville coffee shop, but in Episode 2, both Alice and Bob become wizards who have to stop the [[EvilOverlord dark lord]].
* '''Downplayed''': Charlie was a member of the cast since Episode 1, but as the series goes on, [[PowerCreep he gains more and more magical powers]].
* '''Justified''':
* '''Inverted''': [[AliceAndBob Alice, Bob, and Charlie]] starts in Season 1 with the main cast of Alice and Bob, two regular humans, and Charlie, a wizard. In Season 3, Charlie's magical abilities are removed.
* '''Subverted''': Charlie only claims to be a wizard, and is actually just a skilled gadgeteer.
* '''Double Subverted''': Later in Season 3, he makes a machine that turns him into a genuine wizard.
* '''Parodied''':
* '''Zig-Zagged''': Charlie gets [[PutOnABus put on a bus]] before he could use the machine on himself, and the machine is destroyed.
* '''Averted''': [[AliceAndBob Alice and Bob]] stays completely grounded in reality throughout its run.
** Alternatively, [[AliceAndBob Alice and Bob]] is fully fantastical throughout its run.
* '''Enforced''': The company that produces [[AliceAndBob Alice and Bob]] thinks that viewers will be more interested in fantasy fiction than realistic fiction.
* '''Lampshaded''': "You're a wizard, Charlie?! [[ThisIsReality I thought magic was something you only saw in fiction]]!"
* '''Defied''': The government outlaws all forms of magic.
* '''Conversed''': "Isn't it weird how nobody's questioning how Charlie's a wizard, even though magic has never existed in this show before?"
