* CuriosityIsACrapshoot: Eliot, Margo, and Josh managed to be High Kings of Fillory without learning one scrap of knowledge about its history or culture. This ''would've'' come back to bite them with the ghost butler, if they hadn't brought Fen along. So '''in'''curiosity was the crapshoot in this case.

* PanickyExpectantFather: Penny's becoming one of these--for example, he nervously bought one of everything at the Chinese and ice cream places because he doesn't exactly know what Julia wanted.
* PocketDimension: Umber designed an Ark which acts as one of these, taking every living being on Fillory and putting them inside so they can all be moved at once.

the fact things such as the culture and history which can't be put into an ark, and says that she feels they'd be trying a lot harder to find another way if save ''Earth'' if it were in the balance rather than Fillory, which same situation. Eliot agrees with.admits she's right, but there's no other way to save Fillory's people and stop the dead from returning.

* ConsummateLiar: Once her personality is reverted, Marina is able to convince Anna she won't have anything to do with Kady and Alice's world seed heist after Anna gives them the heist book, even though she had earlier admitted to Anna that she'd have to stay involved because they wouldn't be able to pull it off without her while she was under a spell that prevented her from lying.


Added DiffLines:

* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Apparently even Marina has limits, because after orchestrating a failed attempt to steal the world seed from the Couple that got most of her cohorts killed or seriously injured, she is affected enough to want to get 'trance healing' to turn herself good (albeit it was an item on Anna's list for her).
