9	* BlondeBrunetteRedhead: the three protagonists.
10	* BloodlessCarnage: Beads disintegrate bloodlessly when killed.
11	* BraidsOfAction: what Rowan does with her long hair.
12	* BrainyBrunette: Rowan is the smartest and nerdiest of the three.
13	* CallingYourAttacks: justified: magical powers are activated by saying their names.
14	* ConLang: the magicians' language, Eegamal.
15	* CutenessOverload: Susie is overwhelmed by the prospect of being covered with {{cute kitten}}s.
16	* DamselInDistress: magicians capture an InnocentBystander, and, later, [[spoiler:Kristi]].
17	* EloquentInMyNativeTongue: Rowan speaks bad Eegamal; Bid speaks bad English.
18	* EverythingsBetterWithSparkles: Diamond Starlight's costume.
19	* FauxFluency: in-universe: Rowan delivers a memorized speech in Eegamal.
20	* FireIceLightning: Kristi uses Preschal's fire, Susie uses ice, and Rowan uses Kayan's lightning.
21	* FourthWallMailSlot: the [[http://htht.elcenia.com/nifty/asktipko.shtml Ask Tipko (because he is very knowledgeable)]] side-comics.
22	* GirlPosse: Kristi's friends.
23	--> '''Dinah''': "Good morning!" Honestly, who does she think she is?
24	* GuileHero: Tipko daringly escapes from slavery, recruits allies from another world, and [[spoiler:rescues his people]]. And he's [[SupportingLeader not even the protagonist]].
25	* HeelRealization: Kristi realizes she's part of the GirlPosse.
26	-->'''Kristi''': Do you remember when you called my friends cretins? You were right.
27	* [[IHaveYourWife I Have Your Mother]]: a magician takes Kristi's family hostage, [[spoiler:but can't contact the girls to deliver her demands]].

32	--> '''Rowan''': You want to give me magic powers too? And you thought I might ''refuse''?
33	* LanguageBarrier: a major problem, [[spoiler:until the girls get translation magic]]. The girls can't understand the magicians, and at one point a magician is unable to interrogate an innocent bystander because she doesn't speak Eegamal.
34	-->'''Kristi''': I wish I knew what he was ''saying''!
35	* {{Magical Girl}}s: Kristi, Rowan and Susie.

40	* NighInvulnerability: beads are immune to mundane weapons.
41	* NobodyCanDie: only beads die, and they recover.
42	* ObfuscatingStupidity: A'at briefly pretends not to speak English. It doesn't work.
43	-->'''Ellen''': Don't let it fool you, Kristi! It was translating for that magician! It has a New Jersey accent, for crying out loud!
44	* OrphanedSeries: the author lost interest and abandoned the comic, posting a summary of the remaining plot.
45	* {{Paparazzi}}: one [[http://htht.elcenia.com/archive/076.shtml threatens]] Rowan to get a scoop.
46	-->'''Reporter''': This is a major story, Miss Moriyama, and I'm going to run it whether you help me or not. Without you I'm going to have to go with something less than glowing. I'm sure there are plenty of people at school willing to smear you for a chance on TV.
47	* PrisonerExchange: A captured magician trades [[spoiler:Keeda]] for his own freedom.
48	-->'''Tipko''': You told him if he gave you his paget you'd let him go.
49	* PowerCrystal: beads: ruby, opal, and diamond.
50	* PowerGivesYouWings: the girls borrow wings from their beads -- accidentally, at first.
51	-->'''Rowan''': I... seem to have sprouted wings.
52	* PunctuatedForEmphasis: [[http://htht.elcenia.com/archive/174.shtml When people can guilt trip you about freeing a slave, what do you say?]]
53	-->'''Rowan''': That. Was so. Screwed. Up.
54	* RidiculouslyCuteCritter: pagets.

60	* TalkingIsAFreeAction: lampshaded.
61	--> '''Rowan''': You guys ''are'' aware that we are legally allowed to have friendly chats and pep talks when we ''aren't'' in the middle of fighting off monsters from another universe, right?
62	* TransformationNameAnnouncement: this is how the girls trigger their transformations.
63	* TransformationSequence: for the magical girls, of course.
64	* TurnCoat: [[spoiler:A'at.]]
65	* UnhandThemVillain: a magician dangles an InnocentBystander off a roof, then drops him when she comes under attack.
66	* WakeUpGoToSchoolSaveTheWorld: Even though the girls are publicly known to be saving the world, they [[http://htht.elcenia.com/archive/070.shtml do not have permission to leave school to do so]].
67	-->'''School administrator''': Look, I don't care if you girls are mutants or Comicbook/{{Supergirl}}s or [[Franchise/WonderWoman Wonder Women]] or what, you do not get out of having your parents called when you bring God only knows what kind of monsters to school with you. Not to mention skipping out of class.
68	* WhatMeasureIsANonCute: the girls are eager to rescue pagets, but not larger, uglier species.
69	-->'''Non''': Why do you only want to help ''pagets'' and not Datékali? My cousin had to sell himself into slavery last year.
