4 | ->''The plane of magic lies beside our own plane. There is a small amount of magic within everything. The magical plane itself, however, is separated from us by a barrier... It requires years of training to condition ourselves for breaching the barrier... And it is dangerous for the unskilled.'' |

7 | ''[[http://www.aikoniacomic.com/index.php Aikonia]]'' is a webcomic based on a not-yet-released game by the same name. It chronicles the tribulations of a magic school through various plots among the staff and a possible disturbance in the source of magic itself. The first three chapters were drawn by Creator/KatieTiedrich, presenting something of a contrast between the serious plot and her usually comedic art style. |

22 | * HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:Solaris holds the possessed Ariel down long enough for Cyril to impale the two of them with a crystal branch, killing them both.]] |
23 | * InTheHood: Every character affiliated with the institute has a hood, apparently. Not surprising for a bunch of mages. Casters have a blue hem on their robes, and channelers have a red hem. |

32 | * WhamEpisode: [[spoiler: When possessed!Ariel throws Solaris through the Magicka portal at the end of Chapter II.]] The effects of this are still being felt now. |
33 | * WizardingSchool: The Aikonian Institute of Magical Research and Application. |
34 | * WrittenSoundEffect: Representing some of the only moments of levity in the series, Aikonia employs some ridiculous written sounds.

35 | * YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: [[spoiler:Said in verbatim by possessed!Ariel to Solaris after he tries to confront her.]] |
