* {{Wangst}}: In the first book, Stile ''constantly'' bemoans his short stature and how it makes it so hard for him to attract women... while juggling three different potential love interests. He also repeatedly kvetches about how Sheen and Neysa are not real women, even though this does not stop him from carrying on sexual relationships with them.

** The cover art for ''Blue Adept'' depicts Red as looking strikingly like Nicole Kidman; a plot point in the book involves her and TheHero Stile participating in a [[ShowWithinAShow theatrical Tourney performance]] (in this case, a dance) involving StarCrossedLovers in an exotic setting (Arabia). Flash forward to...''Film/MoulinRouge'', where Nicole Kidman's Satine stars with TheHero Christian in a [[ShowWithinAShow theatrical performance]] (a musical this time) involving StarCrossedLovers in an exotic setting (India). For added irony, Red was a man-hater while Satine was a courtesan.

moved to main page, as it is not a YMMV trope

* DiabolusExMachina: Stile loses a random game (a single pull on a slot machine) in the Tournament to a child with nothing to lose (His parents' tenure was up, so he entered the Tournament on a lark). It meant one more loss and Stile would lose the Tournament and have to leave Photon for good.

* FridgeBrilliance: Natives of Phaze seem really impressed by the potency of the "splash" from Stile's Triple Thee to Lady Blue, and Mach's to Fleta. Even compared to other Adepts' proclamations of love and/or truth, it's powerful. But considering that "thee", repeated, is doubly RhymingWithItself, it'd be weird if the MagicMusic-Adepts ''didn't'' get a more powerful effect than anyone else.
