History Fanfic / ForgedDestiny

* EasilyForgiven: A staple of Coeur's stories with the premise of Jaune hiding a major secret. Despite nearly a hundred chapters of anticipation over Jaune's breaking Class traditions, the full legal, social, and personal implications are dismissed and brushed aside with little debate or acknowledgement by the end of Book 7.

* Book 7 - The Current Arc: With peace between Vale and Mistral finally achieved, The Hunters ride out to aid in the relief effort while their leader grapples with his newfound abilities.

* RocksFallEveryoneDies: Averted. Somehow. WordOfGod is that for Salem to grant a wish [[spoiler:it ''must'' be in a way that kills the wisher. The author even goes on to list ways how in response to reader suggestions.]] There's even an in-story opportunity when [[spoiler:Raven tells Jaune how Salem pulled a meteor to Remnant in order to explain where the metal for her InfinityPlusOneSword.]] However, how or why the world isn't already destroyed by before the story starts is never explained. See {{Plothole}} above.

** Through most of the story Salem is frequently summoned through a ritual involving human sacrifice, but come Book 6 it's revealed [[spoiler:she can grant wishes to anyone she wants even if they aren't aware of her existence, which is how Jaune received the amulet at the start of the story.]] The author attempts to HandWave the full implications of this in Chapter 7 of Book 7 by having Jaune postulate that Salem had already been summoned prior to [[spoiler:Jaune stating his desires to her]] so as to avoid the problem of why the world isn't more affected due to her JackassGenie shenanigans on an unsuspecting wisher, though this still doesn't explain why [[spoiler:Cinder]] heard her voice at the festival amphitheater, nor the issue of why Salem would grant [[spoiler:Jaune's wish ''at all'' instead of her original summoner's, and when he didn't know of her existence to make a wish to her to begin with.]] WordOfGod also states that Salem can stick around and grant wishes to anyone who makes them rather than just her summoner. However, this still doesn't settle any issues about why the world isn't already destroyed long before the story starts [[note]] The author even lists numerous ways a wish could be interpreted to kill everyone [[/note]].

** Again in Book 7 where the beginning of the Book goes into how [[spoiler: the Noble Classes controls the Labour Classes due to the former's high Cha stat compared to their low leveled Res stat.]] Come the climax of the Book [[spoiler:many Labour Classes start rioting in Vale without a single attempt or explanation of why the Noble Classes don't just tell them to stop and go home which the Labourers should be compelled to obey.]] As of Book 7 when and how high Cha seems to work depends entirely on the plot.

** In Chapter 12 of Book 7:
*** Jaune's internal dialogue mentions that he has only told [[spoiler:Ozpin, the king, and the guild]] about his Runesmithing but we have only ever seen him convey this infomation to [[spoiler:Ruby, Ozpin, and perhaps his family.]]
*** The description of the rune Jaune engraves on the sword he forges this chapter exactly matches that of the symbol found on both [[spoiler:the doors to the Vacuoan temple, and [[TheMacGuffin Jaune's amulet]]]] but he states that has never seen it before.

** Through most of the story Salem is frequently summoned through a ritual involving human sacrifice, but come Book 6 it's revealed [[spoiler:she can grant wishes to anyone she wants even if they aren't aware of her existence, which is how Jaune received the amulet at the start of the story.]] The author attempts to HandWave the full implications of this in Chapter 7 of Book 7 by having Jaune postulate that Salem had already been summoned prior to [[spoiler:Jaune stating his desires to her]] so as to avoid the problem of why the world isn't more affected due to her JackassGenie shenanigans on an unsuspecting wisher, though this still doesn't explain why [[spoiler:Cinder]] heard her voice at the festival amphitheater, nor the issue of why Salem would grant [[spoiler:Jaune's wish ''at all'' instead of her original summoner's, and when he didn't know of her existence to make a wish to her.]]
*** Attempted to be settled yet again as WordOfGod states Salem can stick around and grant wishes to anyone who makes them rather than just her summoner. This however, still doesn't settle any issues about why she doesn't try to find someone unwitting enough to make a wish that could destroy the world long before the story starts [[note]] The author even lists numerous ways a wish could be interpreted to kill everyone [[/note]], nor how or why [[spoiler:Jaune made a wish to her]] without even being aware of her.

** During the [[spoiler:battle between Cinder and Jaune, where Jaune is stabbed and fuses with a sword,]] how or why Jaune is able to get back up and continue to function despite [[spoiler: being impaled and thus leading to both organ damage and restricted blood flow (to say nothing of metal entering the blood stream)]] is never explained. Also comes up again in the opposite way [[spoiler:when Jaune is made to constantly battle while wounded after being kidnapped by Raven, Jaune never attempts to seal his wounds by inserting and forging metal into them, as he did when fighting Cinder, since that's aparently a valid medical option.]]

** Also notable [[spoiler:during Jaune's kidnapping and being introduced to Raven's gladiatorial system, is a complete lack of Grimm being spawned from all the death and general negativity with the Greycloaks camp, avoiding the issue of why they aren't constantly attacked.]]

** For Hero Caste, knowing another Hero's level tells them how difficult or easy they would be to kill, and thus is only told to people they trust absolutely. Likewise, the exact nature of someone's stats is incredibly personal, with revealing them being akin to being naked and exposed to the world.

* AdamSmithHatesYourGuts: Since Heroes generate lien by killing Grimm, merchants charge them vastly inflated prices for their goods and services. Jaune's awareness of this and habits gained from a lifetime surrounded by Shopkeepers gives him an edge when haggling, a concept most Heroes don't even seem aware of. His guildmates see this as a Knight's high charisma at work and leave most monetary dealings to him.
* AdaptationalBadass: The Grimm species from the original show, like Beowolves or Ursai, are referred to as the "Elder Grimm" and are all much more dangerous than they were originally. A single Beowolf, the likes of which are killed by dozens in the show, is more than enough to give four of the main characters trouble, and an Ursa gets extremely close to inflicting a TotalPartyKill on the Hunters.

** Through most of the story Salem is frequently summoned through a ritual involving human sacrifice, but come Book 6 it's revealed [[spoiler:she can grant wishes to anyone she wants even if they aren't aware of her existence, which is how Jaune received the amulet at the start of the story.]] The author attempts to HandWave the full implications of this in Chapter 7 of Book 7 by having Jaune postulate that Salem had already been summoned prior to [[spoiler:Jaune stating his desires to her]] so as to avoid the problem of why the world isn't more affected due to her LiteralGenie shenanigans on an unsuspecting wisher, though this still doesn't explain why [[spoiler:Cinder]] heard her voice at the festival amphitheater, nor the issue of why Salem would grant [[spoiler:Jaune]]'s wish ''at all'' instead of her original summoner's.
