** When Luz discusses what type of Chosen One she should be, she chooses between being like Azura or a "bad girl with black nail polish and mysterious, withdrawn attitude". The latter is actually a pretty good description of Amity Blight, whom she'll meet in the next episode.

** Luz's toy sword looks similar to [[Franchise/MastersOfTheUniverse He-Man's sword]]. Its recorded voice also recites "By the power of Skullgar", which is a play off He-Man's transformation catchphrase, "By the power of Greyskull".

* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Eda and King make a [[UnequalRites pointed distinction]] about Adegast being a "wizard" rather a "witch" (whether or not Adegast really was one). Later episodes show witches as [[MageSpecies the species]] the magic-using humanoids of the Boiling Isles belong to, and never refer to any magic users as "wizards" again.

** Eda explains that witches get their magic staffs through school. This was later [[{{Retcon}} retconned]], with teenage witches instead carving or adopting their own Palismen as a coming-of-age ritual. While Luz's classmates do get their Palismen through school, "Hunting Palismen" makes it clear that this is not common practice.

** As Luz sets off on her quest, a strange grey fog suddenly rolls in. This turns out to be how Adegast casts his illusions, as shown when he tries to trap Luz in a LotusEaterMachine during the climax.



* InstantlyProvenWrong: Luz says [[IHaveYourWife taking her hostage]] is a poor way to get at Eda [[YouCanKeepHer because Eda isn't going to care about her]]. Eda then immediately comes in looking for Luz.

* SapientEatSapient: After Adegast's defeat, he is [[SleepModeSize severely reduced in sized]], enough that Eda can [[EatenAlive swallow him whole]]. Afterward, she [[BlackComedyBurst apologizes to Luz for not sharing]].

** The people Luz runs into on her quest keep "awarding" her things to wear (a ring, a pair of bracelets, and a cape) for completely trivial reasons and accomplishments. When Adagast reveals his deception, the items then turn into magical restraints.
** Eda's toy sword ends up surprisingly useful against Adagast.
* TheChosenOne: Deconstructed. A wizard offers Luz an opportunity to be the Chosen One and go on a magical quest, handing her a map to a magic staff. It's actually a trap created by a demon in order to get to Eda and judging by the fake maps Eda finds, Adagast has been doing this trick for a long time. Luz is disappointed to find that it was all fake and that she's not really TheChosenOne. Eda consoles her by saying she doesn't have to wait for anyone else to make her "special".

** Luz, upon arriving at Adeghast's castle, notices that there are potions, which Adeghast states he sells himself, which raises the question of why he would need to buy potions from Eda if he can make them himself. In addition, he states that he is surprised Eda didn't deliver her potions herself. We find out it's because he wants to eliminate the competition.
** It starts getting weird when all the companions on the quest refer to Luz as "Chosen One" even after knowing her name. Adagast was stroking her ego and didn't bother to remember her name.

* MasterOfIllusion: Adagast turns out to be a "Puppeteer", a demon that uses illusions to manipulate and trap people. The quest he sent Luz on turns out to be an elaborate ploy to bait Eda, one of his main rivals in the potion-selling business, into an ambush. Fortunately for Luz, once you get past his illusions he's not very physically formidable.
