History Webcomic / Aikonia

* {{Feelies}}: One of the Kickstarter rewards is a graduation degree signed by Solaris, in an envelope with a wax seal bearing his insignia.

--> ''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.''

* AmbitionIsEvil: [[spoiler:Solaris]]
** And [[spoiler:possessed!Ariel]].

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Among other mostly normal hair colors, Ariel's pink hair stands out.
** As does [[https://aikoniacomic.com/page/156 Cyril's]]. When you manage to catch a glimpse of it under his hood, it appears to be a dark teal.

''[[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. Drawn by [[Webcomic/AwkwardZombie Katie Tiedrich]], presenting something of a contrast between the serious plot and her usually comedic art style.

* AuraVision: [[spoiler:Whatever Ariel has turned into seems to have this, and it uses this to single out students who can become Binders, mages who can both channel and cast, to put under its mind control.]] Casters have a faded grey blue aura, channelers have a sky blue aura, and binders have a brighter, pale blue aura.

* AuraVision: [[spoiler:Whatever Ariel has turned into seems to have this, and it uses this to single out students who can become Binders, mages who can both channel and cast, to put under its mind control.]]

* InTheHood: Every character has a hood, apparently. Not surprising for a bunch of mages.

* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: [[spoiler:Said in verbatim to Solaris by evil!Ariel.]]

** As does Cyril's. When you manage to catch a glimpse of it under his hood, it appears to be a dark teal.

** And possibly [[spoiler:evil!Ariel, depending on what exactly she's up to]].
* AuraVision: [[spoiler:Whatever Ariel has turned into seems to have this, and uses it to single students out for some nefarious purpose.]]
* BeardOfEvil: [[spoiler:Callisto, apparently]]

* DemonicPossession: [[spoiler:Ariel's apparent condition. Whether the real Ariel is still in there is unknown.]]
* InTheHood: *Every* character has a hood, apparently. Not surprising for a bunch of mages.

* ShockAndAwe: One of the most prevalent forms of magic so far. Notably was used by [[spoiler:Ariel to kill Syd.]]
* TakenForGranite: Used to preserve [[spoiler:Syd's body]].

* WhamEpisode: [[spoiler: When evil!Ariel throws Solaris through the Magicka portal at the end of Chapter II.]] The effects of this are still being felt now.
* WizardingSchool

* [[spoiler: DemonicPossession: Ariel's apparent condition. Whether the real Ariel is still in there is unknown.]]

''[[http://www.aikoniacomic.com/index.php Aikonia]]'' is a webcomic based on a not-yet-released game by the same name. It involves magic, drama, intrigue and backstabbing. Notable for using [[http://www.awkwardzombie.com/ Katie Tiedrich's]] comedic artwork style to tell a serious story, in an attempt to create an interesting contrast that appeals to a larger audience. Unlike some other webcomics, ''Aikonia'' has an overarching plot, with important characters. Not to give anything away, but in 26 pages, we've had [[spoiler:a magical attack, a betrayal, possession, and a character KilledOffForReal]].

* InTheHood: *Every* character has a hood, apparently.
* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler:Syd]]

* ShockAndAwe: Used by [[spoiler:Ariel to kill Syd.]]
** A great deal of the magic shown so far also appears to be in this form.
