* MorphWeapon: Magiswords can fuse with normal weapons and change between them and their true form as needed. For the party it means that they can equip up to three weapons at once, getting stat boosts from all of them, and being able to use any of their accociated skills.
* NoBloodForPhlebotinum: Discussed. Prometheus Dominion is the leading power in the magic ore mining industry, while Calpo Dominion leads in magitool manufacturing, and imports magic ore from Prometheus. As such, leaders of Prometheus are afraid that Calpo might betray them and ally with aggressive Nereid Dominion for Prometheus' resources. The whole matter forces Stefana Prometheus to investigate Calpo's producton, and team up with the party for a common goal.
* ThrivingGhostTown: Downplayed. While towns are still a bit too small for their supposed status, there are plenty of houses that you simply can't enter. Some towns also have several specialized stores, such as book shop, that you can enter, but can't buy anything.

* UselessUsefulSpell: Thoroughly {{Averted}}. Most skills have some sort of special effect, and they ''will'' work on almost all enemies. Even bosses can be poisoned, paralyzed, etc., but they usually recover from it faster than normal enemies. {{Status Buff}}s and debuffs are especially useful, as they often mean the difference between party member surviving an attack or dropping dead.
* UtilityPartyMember: Alice doesn't fight in battles, but supports the party by healing and strengthening them with magic. {{Justified}}, because she's only ten years old, and not trained in combat at all. If you look on her status screen, her stats are a fraction of percent of other party members.

''Sword of Elpisia'' is a {{Retraux}} EasternRPG, developed by Exe Create Inc. and released by Creator/{{Kemco}} for UsefulNotes/{{iOS|Games}} and UsefulNotes/{{Android}} in 2022. Versions for modern consoles and PC via UsefulNotes/{{Steam}} are also available.
Aldo is a young man, living a secluded life as a magitool repairman. One day, one of his assignments goes awry, as the village gets attacked by monsters. Meanwhile a strange figure is seen in the village, turning people into weapons, known as Magiswords. In an attempt to defeat the monster Aldo accidentally blows up a house of a little girl, Alice, who lives there all by herself. In order to make up for it, Aldo offers to help her find a new home, and the duo starts travelling together. On they journey they will uncover the true purpose of Magiswords and the plans behind their creation.
The game has an [[https://www.kemco.jp/game/elpisia/en/ official website]].

!!Sword of Elpisia contains examples of:
* AmplifiedAnimalAptitude: So-called "partner animals" are random wild animals, who happen be far smarter than other animals, and are able to understand speech. Aldo can contract them for use in combat as summons, in exchange for them getting shelter in the Guild.
* AssholeVictim: A town-wide example. The starting village is full of people who treat Aldo like dirt and deny him shopping. It's hard to feel sorry for them when monsters slaughter some of them, and Yado turns the mayor into a Magisword.
* BunnyEarsLawyer: An organisation-wide example. The Guild is an international, highly trusted organisation that's in charge of several critical duties, such as mail delivery and monster population control. Their official uniform is a GoofySuit of a cartoon chicken. Then again, it ''was'' [[VideoGame/{{Alphadia}} Enah's]] idea.
* ChoresWithoutPowers: More like work, but mining of magic ore has to be done in an old-fashioned way, without any magic, because it may change properties of the ore, or even react with it and cause an accident.
* TheEmpire: Nereid Dominion is an aggressive power, that threatens the rest of the world with war.
* EquippableAlly: Averted for normal Magiswords, which, while made from people, can't change back into human form. Played straight with [[spoiler:Alice, who can freely switch between human and Magisword forms]].
* ExactWords: Yado appears when people are in danger, and offers them power. Should they accept, he turns them into Magiswords. Sure, now they have the power, but can't use it, being an inanimate weapon.
* ForcedTransformation: Played with. Yado turns people into Magiswords only when they ask for power. When the victim realises what's happening, it's already too late.
* HeroesPreferSwords: Aldo can equip swords and broadswords as his weapon. He also can use "hatchets", but they are actually closer to {{Machete|Mayhem}}s.
* InexplicableTreasureChests: Sometimes, you can encounter enormous crates or treasure chests in battles. "Enormous" as in taking two spaces on the field and being two times the size of party's sprites. If you break it, the contents are yours, but if the enemies are dead before it, it's lost forever.
* {{Magitek}}: Magitools, the technology of the game's world, use "magic ore" as a main component, and are used everywhere from water purification, to protection of towns from monsters, to mind control. Some lines of dialogue even imply that magitools are used to amplify physical abilities, but apparently it's so commonplace, it isn't further commented upon.
* MorphWeapon: Magiswords can fuse with normal weapons and change between them and their true form as needed. For the party it means that they can equip up to three weapons at once, getting stat boosts from all of them, and being able to use any of their accociated skills.
* NoBloodForPhlebotinum: Discussed.
