** The Magic Missile spell is flat out taken from D&D with no WritingAroundTrademarks to it, down from the name to it's effects of being impossible to dodge or resist without the use of a magical barrier.
** A VancianMagic-esque system is present in the series and referenced in ways that will remind veteran D&D players of their own woes involving [[KillerGameMaster sadistic game masters]], such as how during Dark Schneider's assault on Gara's fortress the latter comments on his plans to exhaust DS's magic and after his fortress collapses Gara expresses surprise that D.S had one spell left that day to create a magical barrier around Lars and Yoko.
