Added DiffLines:

* {{Mesodiplosis}}:
** "Time Flies": When Ami is thinking about her StudentTeacherRomance crush, she questions the ethics of it, inadvertently using "He was" {{Anaphora}} and "her" Mesodiplosis because of his multiple roles in relation to her:
--->He was her employee. He was also her teacher, which made things doubly wrong.
** "The Duel": Jared's summarizing an event that occured between him and an "unsympathetic troll":
--->Good for me, bad for him,

[[spoiler:''Ami'']] ends up doing this to [[spoiler:''Malleus'']]. The experience is lethal [[spoiler:for him, traumatic for her]].


Added DiffLines:

* MinionsCustomizedAtCreation: Ami has two ways to make minions, both with flexibility after being taught how, but none of these are her own unique methods, so it's not a trope that's only for her.
** Ami tries to make stronger, or at least more durable imps by changing the material she summons the spirits into. The spell usually sends them into a flesh body, but she tries materials such as stone, water, and mud, and while her plan eventually works, she needed the help of much more experienced magic users to do it.
** Ami can create {{Animate Inanimate Object}}s that obey her because [[spoiler:they're reliant on her magic for food]], and trying to implement someone's advice on making custom minions rather than just enhancing what's already there, reveals that she can make them look like whatever she wants, not just based on items around her.

Added example(s)

Added DiffLines:

* MagicMisfire: Ami is surprised to learn that new spells are usually invented by apprentices, not fully qualified wizards. The reason, however, is that the wizards who lived long enough to become experienced are the ones who quickly learned ''not'' to experiment like that.
--> '''Durval:''' The side effects of the wrong words are often dramatic and dangerous. The accidents I have had to fix...

Added DiffLines:

-->Even that comparatively low number was hard to believe when the parts enclosed by the city walls fit into an area of less than a square kilometre.
-->Ami reminded herself that most of the city was below ground and that the surface part was the proverbial tip of the iceberg.

Added DiffLines:

* ProudIndustriousRace: Dwarves, who are good at building very tiny wards, city-wide magical infrastructure and also cities where the surface is only a small portion of it, as said in "Ultimatum":

* GodOfKnowledge: The Unraveller is the evil goddess of reconstruction, vivisection, and dissection of technology in pursuit of innovative ideas.

Added DiffLines:

* PlayingTheFamilyCard: In "Valuable Art", an older adopted sister says "Protect me, little sister!" to try and evade punishment for a prank because said little sister is the higher-ranking one.

Added DiffLines:

*OtherworldlyTechnicolourHair: Ami's blue hair marks her as magical because she's been TrappedInAnotherWorld where only non-humans or magical accident victims have non-melanin-generated hair colors like blue, purple, or green.

None

Added DiffLines:

* HumanMail: The trope allows animals as well, and Ami needed to get rid of some people quickly, so she shrunk them and put them in a box for transport. Well, not exactly ''people'', since the chapter is "Vampire Solution".

Added DiffLines:

* HappinessInSlavery: Ami herself is a fairly BenevolentBoss, but she theoretically holds near-absolute power over her minions. She can instantly transport them anywhere in her Dungeon (including a prison, torture chamber, or for that matter her bedchamber), vary their salary at a whim or cut it off altogether if she thinks she can control them by force, slap them, watch anything they do...oh, and that ability to move them around also means she has the power to snap their necks as easily as snapping her fingers ([[spoiler:and when she learns about the horrors that Keeper Malleus has committed, she does just that]]). Nonetheless, many of her most powerful employees are there by choice, knowing that she's a good person and that her service offers great opportunities.
** Snyder initially joined up because [[LeonineContract he didn't have many options]], but he later has the opportunity to leave and redeem his reputation among the surface nations. He instead chooses to stay with her and continue providing her with his magical expertise, believing that serving her is a noble thing to do.
** Cathy was ''not'' happy about being backed into a corner and having to sign up, and tries to conceal her identity so that her family won't be tainted by association. Nonetheless, she is firmly loyal to Ami, even ''[[spoiler:fighting the Avatar face to face]]'' to protect her.
---> '''Cathy''': Look, Mercury is a nice girl who hasn't hurt anyone! This is a misunderstanding! Just give her a chance!
** Jadeite is initially perturbed to find that he's unknowingly entered the service of a Sailor Senshi. Nonetheless, he quickly realises that it's a tremendous opportunity; she appreciates his skills, she represents an opportunity for revenge on Queen Beryl, she's a rising star both on Adushul and in Metallia's esteem, and she's quite attractive (and finds herself attracted to him). Ironically, a group of fairies becomes utterly convinced that he's being magically compelled to serve her, and must be freed, but he just finds them irritating.

Cross Wicking new trope.

Added DiffLines:

* LyingByOmission: The GodOfGood-collective-provided truth-detection magic circles flash green for truth and red for lies, and said in "Skirmishing" to have problems with questions like "Are you human?" for a UnevenHybrid that's majority human, where it would allow "Yes" as a truthful answer, letting them keep their possibly demonic ancestry hidden:
--> This kind of half-truth was one aspect where the magic could have problems with.

Added DiffLines:

* IntoxicatedSuperpowerSnag: Combined with DrunkenMaster. When Ami was drunk, she managed to reconfigure a spell to change the shape of its effect - but can't figure out how to do it while sober.

Crosswick.

Added DiffLines:

* MemoryTrigger: After Ami raids Malleus's mind for information and had to relive snippets from that EvilOverlord's centuries-long life to get the information she wanted, Ami gets reminders of what she experienced while in his head at relevant times and she doesn't like how her body's copying his reactions, like when looking at his {{Sex Slave}}s, before she frees them.

Added DiffLines:

* APlaceHoldsMemories: In "Divine Opposition, Part 1", when a witness to the slaughter of the Avatar Islands returns to its capital city, and is provoked by thinking of Keepers, he erupts into a speech about what it looked like before the slaughter, pointing out places:
--> “Look out there!” he pointed at a valley far out in the wasteland. “That sea of lava used to be a town that was famous for its art and music.” His arm moved to another spot. “This used to be lush forest, where fairies danced around standing stones. The laughter of their children turned into heart-rending screams as the Keepers’ hordes boiled them alive!”

Added DiffLines:

* LateToThePunchline: In "Recovering", Ami makes an AccidentalPun in regards to "her country" since she's both a Japanese schoolgirl TrappedInAnotherWorld, but more relevantly, has the powers to enforce control over any land that she claims, a.k.a ''her'' country:
--> "I'm too young to drink in my country," the teenager pointed out patiently, which drew a round of snickers from the table. "What?"\\
"Well, considering your current job..." Cathy chortled, her face flushed from half-emptying her own mug already.\\
Ami thought for a bit and joined in with a giggle. "Yes, I can see how this would be humorous."

** Mercury is able to cooperate with most of the surface world leaders to take down [[spoiler:Crowned Death's aquatic temple]]. They don't entirely trust her, but they're willing to believe that they have a mutual enemy.

** Eline the dark elf is a prisoner of war, worried about what Keeper Mercury will do to her (especially with Ami's AnythingThatMoves reputation), but is briefly distracted and entertained by a girl teleporting into the prison right in the path of some cleaning goblins, getting covered in soap and falling over onto Tserk the slime monster. Eline can't help but burst out laughing.
