* The Humongofrog spell is shown to vomit out a bunch of wizard hats, implying that it has recently swallowed dozens of wizards at one point. ''You're summoning a frog that has consumed others of your kind.'' Fortunately, they're only ever seen vomiting on the opposing team.
** It doesn't help that Gretta Darkkettle, a former Ravenwood alchemist inside the Death School, was rumored to have turned a kid into a Humongofrog. Assuming this is true, could this have been why it has consumed wizards leaving nothing but their hats?

** This is somewhat negated (at least for regular enemies) by the fact that in the new version of Arc 1, Wizard City enemies have dialogue after certain quests requiring the player to fight them. Fairies, for example, say that the player managed to break the corruption (which contrasts the original story, in which dialogue from Ceren Nightchant says that the player couldn't break the corruption even by defeating the fairies).
** There are at least two quests, one for life wizards and one for myth wizards, in which the player has to fight fairies (well, pixies for myth, but what's the difference?) to collect their wings. Technically, the game never says that the player killed them, but if they didn't, then they removed the wings from a still-living fairy/pixie, presumably crippling them in the process. More horrifying in the life quest, which has the player fight dark fairies, which are shown (at least in the new version) to be able to go back to being benevolent creatures, unlike the death pixies in the myth quest.

* The very first spell quest that myth wizards get is to look for a book that doesn't exist, and then leaves from a tree that doesn't exist. In other words, they're [[StealthPun myths]].

* At first the defeat of [[spoiler: Lich Malistaire]] seems like a DeusExMachina but if the player was paying attention they'll realize that it was just the center of the dueling ring that breaks, this means that all the summons that the player used cased enough damage to the ground to cause it to break off of the comet.

*For one of the quests in the Chamber of Flame, you're asked to kill some flame servants so that the excavation has eternal flame to combat the darkness with. At first, it doesn't seem like that big of a deal. Then you realize, non-sentient creatures aren't usually called servants and in fact the Manders were called servants before in their history when they first became slaves. And what part of them would be eternally burning after they're defeated? Best case, you've just given the guy some flamey hearts that can morbidly keep things lit. At worst, well those might be souls.

* Throughout the game, everything you fight against are [[WhatMeasureIsANonHuman fairies, ghosts, skeletons, demons, talking fish, golems]], [[WhenTreesAttack walking trees]], [[HalfDressedCartoonAnimal literal cat burglars]], and a massive number of other creatures as you get closer to [[BigBad Malistaire]]. When he's defeated, his ghost finally reconciles with [[spoiler:his dead wife]] and leaves for the afterlife. [[FridgeHorror He was quite alive before you got your hands on him.]]
** Similarly to Malistaire, Krokhotep is alive and well before you fight him, but is a ghost when you meet him again later in the Tomb of Storms. In this case, thankfully, defeat helps bring him to his senses and he becomes your ally in the fight to recover the Krokonomicon.
