* CrossoverCosmology: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]] and not drawn attention to, but the pantheon of gods are a mixture of mostly Mayan and some Aztec deities: only Mictlan, Micte and Cipactli are based on Aztec deities, with Camazotz, Acat, Cabrakan, Vucub, Hura/Can, Chivo, Xtabay and Ah Puch coming from Mayan mythology (according to the artbook Bone and Skull are derived from the unnamed [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xibalba#Inhabitants Lords of Xibalba]], making them Mayan as well).

* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: When is Cabrakan going to sacrifice Maya, he tells her that he will be "a kinder god" than Lord Mictlan, that it's for own good and whispers to her it will be "quick and painless". Sounds a lot like a rapist trying to make his victim cooperate.
** Micte recounting how she married Mictlan for power, only to grow more afraid of him as he became more dangerous is eerily reminiscent of how many victims get trapped in abusive relationships.

* WildMagic: The exact details behind Peasant Magic are rather vague, but its primary power is conjuring complex, highly destructive spells via incantations. Chimi is gifted at Peasant Magic, but [[UnequalRites this makes him an outcast among the wizards of Luna Island]]. Even Chivo, the God of Dark Magic, seems to fear it.
