* MakeMeWannaShout: Lane's Great Shout spell, which deals force damage and may cause fear.

* ZergRush: Some of the enslaved citizens in the temple will rush at you, to horrifying effect.

''Trials of Guinevere'' is a HighFantasy {{JRPG}} developed by TD Games, and [[https://store.steampowered.com/app/1103130 released]] for UsefulNotes/{{Steam}} on December 31, 2019. It's the first game in the author's Legends of Vitaria series.

* BonusBoss: The game has one for each Act:
** Racaiah, an Elementalist, is the optional boss of Act 1. She is fought alongside two allies, and uses strong area of effect fire and ice damage. To make matters worse, she can even paralyze an entire row of your party at once.
** [[spoiler:The demon at the start of Act 2, Betrayal, may seem [[{{HopelessBossFight}} impossible to win]], but you must beat him in order to see Rowena's best ending. Even by playing perfectly, Betrayal's fight has chance involved, based on when he casts Dispel to remove your buffs. He could arguably be the toughest fight in the game, so much so that the hardest difficulty setting doesn't even increase his strength.]]
** Ichiro, a Guardian betrayer, along with his group (including a mage specializing death magic, a healer that can revive the fallen, and a monk that can damage and disable the entire party) is the optional boss of Act 3.

** [[spoiler:Whitney's true nature as a sending of Ycantha is foreshadowed throughout the game. She appears in areas she's not supposed to, she tells Kody that some people have no control over their destiny (implying that she was created to fulfill a specific goal), she has seemingly-endless amounts of money, and once the spell empowering her ends, she turns into a golden statue. Given that Ycantha is the goddess of commerce and wealth, this all makes sense.]]

* GodOfDarkness: Somewhat averted. While Erebor is the God of Darkness, He is related moreso to the pursuit of knowledge, wisdom, and lore.

* GoldenEnding: The game's achievement even calls it the perfect ending, which represents the best outcome the characters get, with the least amount of deaths.

* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler:Depending on the player's opinion of him, Kody can be seen as having this. Because he leads Rowena, Cormac, and Whitney straight to a demon that plans on using their bodies for Malthael's shards, Kody can be arguably seen as a villain. Rowena's words may inspire hope within him, however, and cause him to turn against the demon and buy you time to escape. Later, it's revealed that he and his allies survived, and he thanks you for believing in him and helping him when he needed it.]]

* DarkMistress: Irrena is the ex-lover of [[spoiler:Caellach]], who lost her Favour by falling under Malthael's spell.

Meganekko: Amber.

** [[spoiler:A student in the Academy wonders if mages can be slaves, since Cor Anarans see them as superior. They will also tell you that many slaves in Cor Anara bear a mark on their cheek, two horizontal bars intersected by a vertical one. In Act 2, Cormac bears the exact mark, and later, it's revealed that he grew up as a slave aboard a barge, which is where his facial brand comes from.]]
