* ContrivedCoincidence: the true father of Veness' child happens to be standing right next to the one wizard who happens to be Veness' best friend, privy to her affair with the Templar and hopelessly in love with her. His lies give Veness a short respite to try and save her child.

* TookALevelInBadass: mostly hinted at, but Abernath apparently went from a rather meek and not very talented apprentice to an Enchanter who doesn't hesitate to remind Sadatt of his mistakes and is absolutely not impressed by the Templar's show of aggression after he doesn't take kindly to one of Abernath's remarks.

* AmbiguousTimePeriod: Gleam's story is notoriously difficult to place into the overarching [[Timeline/DragonAge timeline of the series]], as the comic contains few references to canonical events and is, in turn, never referenced in any later installments. The only clue seems to be the presence of Knight-Commander Greagoir, who has been in charge of the Circle Tower since about 9:5 Dragon (according to ''World of Thedas, Vol. 2''), meaning that Gleam couldn't have been born before that. However, since Greagoir survives the Broken Circle quest in the [=BioWare=] novel/comics canon, it is unclear whether Gleam's adventures (or even her birth) occur before or after the Fifth Blight. The ''DA'' fan wiki places the comic between ''Literature/TheCalling'' and ''Anime/DawnOfTheSeeker'' in the chronology, but this appears to be just speculation.

!!The series contains examples of following tropes:

* TheBlacksmith: Gleam and her adoptive father.
* HealingHands: Gleam, to an absurd degree.
** Without any real training to boot.
* PlayingWithFire: Veness, Gleam.
* PowerNullifier: Templars are capable of preventing Mages from using magic, although this typically requires focus, concentration and being prepared beforehand. One can infer this is why they weren't able to use this trick in Issue #1.
* SpiritAdvisor: Veness, in the fade, to Gleam
* UltimateBlacksmith: Issue #2 starts with Gleam using her magic to help her forge a sword. The result is a sword which cuts through pretty much anything.
