** Close to the start of the movie, Kaulder says that a witch's curse is broken when the witch who cast it is killed. Watchful viewer may note that [[spoiler:despite the Witch Queen dying in the prologue, Kaulder continues to be immortal, meaning she's not truly dead.]]

* AllThereInTheManual: The Axe And Cross website released alongside the movie details much of the lore not explored in the movie. The Witch Queen, for example, is just one of the six so-called Witch Lords, a group of [[PhysicalGod near-godlike]] witches who have terrorized humanity since time immemorial.

* AchillesHeel: Kaulder may be completely immortal, but he's still perfectly vulnerable to mental attacks. When he's forcefully pulled out of a memory potion, he's left dazed and hallucinating so badly that [[TheDragon Belial]] just goes about his business while Kaulder tries to choke Chloe to death thinking she's the Witch Queen. Later, Danique is able to trap him in a LotusEaterMachine [[spoiler: that Chloe has to use her DreamWalker powers to break.]]
