* GagEcho: A throw-away gag or one-liner, meant to be light-hearted, that comes back later now freighted with a deeper meaning.

While the site claims to be about epic fantasy, it really just stars some roommates, and their struggles to live with each other, and what goes on at school from time to time. The comic pokes fun at MMORPG-type games and a few other things that are either popular or geeky.

* AllAsiansAreAlike: Tarin gets by the bouncer with a fake ID, because [[https://elven.co.nz/comic/elven-00114/ all elves are alike, too, right?]]

* WhatDoesSheSeeInHim: Cyprien doesn't [[AllGirlsWantBadBoys understand]] why Danalach stays with her [[https://elven.co.nz/comic/elven-00020/ loser boyfriend]]. She explains, he's skeptical.

* MagicalIncantation: While [[https://elven.co.nz/comic/elven-00003/ practicing]] the incantation and [[MagicalGesture gesture]] needed to cast Fire Ball, Danalach sets fire to her home. She uses the [[SpellBook spell book]] loaded on her laptop to find an incantation to conjure water.

* LastSecondWordSwap: Tarin says may need to hide … erhm … '''''[[https://elven.co.nz/comic/elven-00027/ store]]''''' stuff in the basement. Yeah, that's it.

* BossBattle: After defeating the cannon fodder and then the minions, it's time to face it, the [[https://elven.co.nz/comic/elven-00067/ Carrion Crawler Behemoth]] or the [[https://elven.co.nz/comic/elven-00144/ Sword Spider Matriarch]] or who knows what comes next. Whatever it's called, this one heralds the end of a level and will drop the best loot. There could even be a FinalBoss yet to come, the one likely to have been the BigBad behind it all.

* MagicalIncantation: While [[https://elven.co.nz/comic/elven-00003/ practicing]] the [[MagicalGesture gesture]] needed to create a fire ball, Danalach sets fire to her apartment. She then uses the SpellBook on her laptop to find a spell to help put out the fire using water.

* LootBoxes: Sometimes, [[https://elven.co.nz/comic/elven-00150/ after defeating]] a [[BossBattle bigger than usual monster]], your party is given boxes, generally one per person, rather than having the gold and loot just scattered on the floor. Anticipation of what might be in the boxes only heightens the suspense … or chagrin.
