20	* BigBad: Kwodahn, who is a powerful warlock. For all intents and purposes he is TheDevil, as people will sell their souls to him for power, as Prince Bragan did.
21	* BrattyHalfPint: Ten year old King Arthus is the son of the late King Edwin. His uncle Bragan becomes the power behind the throne, and convinces Arthus that Prince Erwann killed his father to claim Xcalibur.
22	* ChainmailBikini: Due to the limits of cgi at the time, both Djana and Tara's armor look rather skin tight, on account of likely being the sole texture on their character models.

24	* CoolSword: Excalibur itself of course as a magical blade with an exotic design holding great power.

32	* PowerGlows: Xcalibur does this when drawn from its sheath.
