The page image on Vain Sorceress looks rather nice, but I don't see how it shows she is a sorceress. It's just a vain-ish woman looking in the mirror.

I've been unable to GIS up a better pic, but I think this should be pulled because it doesn't demonstrate the trope.

Rhetorical, eh? ... Eight!

Seconding the pull; there's nothing there indicating that she's a sorceress.

Looking at herself in the mirror suggests vanity. I guess she looks vaguely sorceress-ish (it's a stretch).

Keep Until Better Image Suggested but we could do a lot better.

Thirding pull.

What is this "sleep" you speak of?

Fourthing pull: There's no indication that she's a sorceress.

Is it that she has to be vain, or that she makes sure she is hot? The difference would decide the better way to picture this.

I'm on the internet. My arguments are invalid.

[up] The trope is that she's using magic to make herself (or keep herself, or make herself seem) younger and prettier.

Well first of all, we may have to rename it sometime.

Second of all, this might take something like a bottle clearly showing that it's beauty potion.

Clock is set. Keep or pull? I still say pull for not showing the "sorceress" aspect well enough.
