*AFriendInNeed Ida comes to Ren’s rescue after seeing her cornered by Celia and her gang of bullies.
*AdultsAreUseless Played with. Young people are the only ones said to be able to be chosen as Conjurers so adults literally are useless when it comes to the Competition. The mayor of Dromelot’s only solution to dealing with the Competition was to suspend school to allow students to get it over with.
*AudibleSharpness Be prepared for a lot of sharp sounds when it comes to the Conjurers’ swords.
*AwesomeButImpractical Many of the sword designs that the Conjurers wield aren’t the most practical. Ren’s sword is a standard cutlass design but with jagged prongs near the blade shaped to resemble Caliburn’s face.
*BewareTheNiceOnes Kind and sweet Ida lashes out and sends Ren and Aiden flying when she grows frustrated over the two fighting. Caliburn even warns Ren that Ida is incredibly powerful.
*BigBrotherInstinct Arthur gives off hints of this in Chapter 5. He is worried enough for his sister that he packs snacks and a town map for her when he finds out she is leaving Dromelot for the first time.
*BladeLock Conjurers are frequently seen locking blades against one another during their sword fights.
*BladeSpam Aiden lets loose a volley of blade attacks during his duel in Chapter 4
*CapitalLettersAreMagic The Competition was started by the Spirits who choose Conjurers as their fighters.
*CheeryPink Ida and Guinevere
*TheChosenMany A large population of Dromelot’s high school-aged youth have been chosen as Conjurers and granted magical sword-summoning powers.
*TheChosenOne
*TheChosenWannabe Ren is actually the last Conjurer to be chosen for the Competition. She spends the first day of the Competition sulking about not being a member of the chosen few.
*ColourCodedForYourConvenience The main cast seems to follow this. Ren = Red. Ida = Pink. Aiden = Green.
*ConvenientlyTimedAttackFromBehind Ren bounces off of an adjacent wall to attack Celia from behind while she is distracted fighting Ida.
*CoolSword There are plenty of cool and over-the-top sword designs throughout the series.
*TheCorrupter Caliburn definitely seems to be this toward Ren, convincing her not to focus on friendship and to ultimately betray Ida in order to win the Competition.
*CrashIntoHello Ren happens to bump into both Aiden and Ida for the first time within two days of each other.
*CuteClumsyGirl Ren’s dour, stoic demeanor is offset by the fact that she is pretty clumsy. She trips and falls. A. Lot.
*TheCutie Ida
*DramaticThunder A conveniently-timed storm occurs in Chapter 3 when Aiden threatens Ren against doing anything to hurt Ida. Lightning even strikes from behind him as he flashes a threatening pose.
*ExpositionFairy All Spirits to a degree, as they are said to explain the rules of the Competition to their chosen Conjurer. Caliburn takes this role towards Ren and the audience.
*FriendlessBackground Ren has no friends prior to the start of the story. This is partially the reason she seems so taken back by Ida’s kindness and friendship.
*FrillsOfJustice Many of Ren’s outfits count as this.
*GiantWaistRibbon Paisley’s dress has a large ribbon on the back in her introduction
*Goth Ren the protagonist dresses in goth fashion.
*HerBoyfriendsJacket Ren takes items from Ida’s wardrobe to wear after their sleepover in Chapter 5.
*HugAndComment Following the duel in Chapter 4, Ren and Ida hug with Ren remarking “You smell like ice cream.” to Ida who just abandoned her shift at Camila’s Swirly Shoppe.
*IJustWantToBeSpecial Ren’s guiding motivation as explained to her by Caliburn.
*ImplausibleFencingPowers Aiden is described as having taken fencing lessons since he was little and he displays some pretty intense moves with his magical fencing sword in Chapter 4.
*InconvenientSummons Ren can summon Caliburn to appear at will, though Caliburn also chooses to pop in whenever it feels like it, usually to Ren’s annoyance.
*IntimidationDemonstration Aiden swishes and twirls his sword before his duel with Ren.
*LimitedWardrobe Averted. Characters are seen in a variety of outfits. And the two female protagonists even change their hairstyle regularly.
*LoveBubbles These bubbles are used in the background of certain scenes between Ren and Ida. Prominently featured in the climax of Chapter 4.
*ManipulativeBastard Caliburn constantly hovers above Ren, goading her into giving up her morals to become an unfeeling, uncaring master sword fighter in order to win the Competition.
*MeaningfulName Subverted. In a series with a cast named after characters from Arthurian Legend (Caliburn, Guinevere, etc…) The guy named Arthur is the one main character who wasn’t chosen to have magical powers.
*MeetCute Ren’s introduction to both Aiden and Ida is crashing into them after not looking where she is going.
*MentorMascot Zig-zagged. Caliburn is a magical spirit that offers helpful advice to the protagonist to help her succeed in battle but isn’t the most morally sound when it comes to ethics. Or manners.
*MonochromePast The family photo in the Riggins’ household is black-and-white. Realistically, this was only taken about seven years before the story started.
*MotorMouth Ida is introduced as this. Caliburn is described as “never shutting up” later on.
*OddlyShapedSword Ren’s sword is a somewhat typical cutlass design though it is shaped to resemble Caliburn’s sharp-toothed face for the crossguard.
*PowerParasite Ren and Caliburn’s unique ability is to absorb the powers from the enemies they defeat.
*RedIsViolent Ren and Caliburn with their focus on fighting enemies and getting far in the Competition.
*RefusalOfTheCall Ren’s initial reaction after being chosen by Caliburn. “Why would I want to do that?”
*ReligiousAndMythologicalThemeNaming All of the Spirits are named after characters and terms from Arthurian Legend.
*RescueHug Ren trips into Ida when she chases after her following the duel in Chapter 4. The catch between the two turns into a hug.
*RoseHairedSweetie Ida’s hair is a very low saturation pink with a hot pink dip-dye.
*SesquipedalianLoquaciousness Caliburn speaks in a rather wordy manner.
*SpontaneousWeaponCreation The power granted to everyone chosen as a Conjurer. Conjurers can summon a unique sword themed after their Spirit to fight with.
*StockWeaponNames Ren’s magical Talking Sword Caliburn, is named for a variant spelling of Excalibur.
*SwordFight A whole lot of ‘em. At least one major sword fight per chapter.
*SwordLines Virtually every time a Conjurer swings their sword it is emphasized by a colorful streak of light- usually themed after their Spirit’s signature color.
*SwordOverHead Ren holds her sword high above her head when she is about to deliver the finishing blow on Aiden in Chapter 4
*SwordPointing Frequently seen in a story where a majority of the cast has the ability to summon swords at will.
*SwordSparks Whenever two swords clash they let loose a flurry of sparks. The sparks are even color-coded to suit the Conjurer’s blade!
*TalkingWeapon Most Conjurers have this thanks to the Spirits living inside of their weapon. Averted with Guinevere, the only sword that doesn't talk. Exaggerated with Caliburn who just won’t shut up.
*TechnicolorBlade Virtually every Conjurer’s blade. Even the more metallic-looking ones like Ren’s have distinct glowing hues.
*ThwartedCoupDeGrace Ren is on the ground, about to be defeated by Celia when suddenly Ida arrives to save her. Happens again when Ida arrives to end the duel between Ren and Aiden in Chapter 4
*UniqueProtagonistAsset Caliburn tells Ren that it grants her an ability that no other Conjurers have: the ability to absorb the powers of the foes they defeat
*VictorGainsLosersPowers Caliburn’s unique ability is this. With every Conjurer they defeat, Ren’s sword becomes stronger and absorbs any other abilities from the opponent had.
