to:

* WitchHunt: Literally.Literally--humans who can use magic, being [[WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity a danger to themselves and those around them]], are aggressively hunted down by the government in a desperate attempt to wipe magic out for good. Mercia's government has garnered particular opposition from Arcadia for taking it upon themselves to police Arcadia's citizens as well, seizing any they suspect of magic for execution overseas.

removing a trope, since it turns out that\'s not actually what it means


* WhatsUpKingDude: Cog can be a little...informal when dealing with nobles, whether they're from Mercia or Arcadia. It's probably due to his relationship with Prince Boris, who treats him more like a brother than a commoner. [[http://www.clockwork-comic.com/comic/page-28 Here's one example]], [[http://www.clockwork-comic.com/comic/page-47 and here's another]].

* EstablishingShot: Most major scene transitions utilize a wide view of the area the new scene is taking place in, especially if it's a location that hasn't been shown before. Because of the high level of detail in most of the comic's backgrounds, depending on the area in question these shots can range from nicely atmospheric to full-on SceneryPorn, like in the [[http://www.clockwork-comic.com/comic/page-67 first look at Arcadia]].
