!!''Beneath the Dragoneye Moons'' provides examples of:
* AmazonBrigade: The Valkyries, an order of female knights, most of which ride dinosaurs.
* BadassCape: Formal Sentinel armor has a red cape as part of the ensemble, though they’d never wear it in real combat for [[CapeSnag practical reasons]].
* BathtubBonding: Elaine and Artemis are very fond of spending hours together in public bath-houses whenever they return to civilization.
* BehemothBattle: When Guardians and/or [[spoiler:Dragons]] start showing up, the collateral damage can easily pulverize mountains and destroy civilizations.
* BugWar: The Formorians are a species of giant insectoid monsters on Reim’s northern border. They’ve been sending a constant ZergRush at humanity’s border wall for centuries.
* CityGuards: Elaine’s dad Elainus is a Guard, and she generally goes out of her way to be nice to guards in general.
* CoolAunt: Artemis is an old family friend of Elaine’s parents, a high-level [Mage], and frequently gives Elaine advice that her parents might not quite approve of. Elaine is so infatuated with her, she actually gets multiple Class upgrade options along the lines of “Artemis’ Pet”, much to her chagrin.
* ColorCodedEyes: When people attune to a higher-tier element, their irises change to have aspects of it, such as someone with Mirror having very reflective eyes. This isn’t always a sure-fire method, as [[spoiler:some signs look very similar, which is how Hesoid passed himself off as having Decay instead of [[{{Plaguemaster}} Miasma in the Plague Arc]].]]
* CombatMedic: This is Elaine’s main role in combat, darting around active conflict to heal injuries. [[spoiler:Julius’ plan for the Rangers is to enlist more Healers to cut down on their notoriously high fatalities]].
* DeterminedDoctor: Elaine will kill in self-defense, but prefers not to. Her ObstructiveCodeOfConduct actively hurts her if she ignores an injured person, attacks first in a fight, etc.
* TheDreaded: [[spoiler:Dragons. One almost wiped out humanity several thousand years ago]], and it’s said they can hear you if you speak their name.
* ElementalPowers: There are eight fundamental Elements, each in pair of opposites. [[PlayingWithFire Fire]] and [[MakingASplash Water]], [[DishingOutDirt Earth]] and [[BlowYouAway Wind]], [[LightEmUp Light]] and [[CastingAShadow Dark]], [[GreenThumb Wood]] and [[ExtraOreDinary Metal]].
** Each can then merge with any other element (including their direct opposite) to form more esoteric elements, such as Light and Dark making [[StarPower Celestial]] or Wind and Metal making [[ShockAndAwe Lightning]]. The core elements can also “intensify” by merging with themselves to become stronger like Fire becoming Inferno, or Dark becoming Void.
* ElementalRockPaperScissors: Considering the sheer number of elements, there are advantages and disadvantages to each. For instance, Radiance (Light+Fire) can shoot lasers right through Brilliance’s (Light+Light) HardLight structures, but Mirror (Light+Metal) easily reflects them.
** For Healers: Light can restore things like broken bones or missing tissue; Dark can remove things like diseases or poisons; Water can do a bit both, but is less effective at anything but restoring fluids; and Wood can make potions that can do any number of things, but requires prep time, ingredients, and study.
* EnergyBall: Elaine is infatuated with the idea of casting {{Fireballs}}. This upgrades to [[spoiler:shooting out [Novas] when her affinity changes to Radiant]].
* EveryoneIsASuper: Most everything larger than an insect has access to [[RPGMechanicsVerse the System]]. This leads to the average human being supernaturally physically fit, and having a natural lifespan of over 130 years old.

With [[spoiler:her [Persistent Casting] Skill giving her a HealingFactor that by chapter 198 can deal with]] [[spoiler:[[LosingYourHead total decapitation]]]] this is pretty hard to do.
* HardLight: The Light and Fire elements can’t make tangible structures, but their Intensifications (Brilliance and Inferno) can.
* MadeASlave: The most common punishment for criminals, a common choice for bandits or pirates, and a likely result of the family of a man who dies or is disabled. It’s not pretty.

* MysticalPlague: Dark and Wind elements can combine into [[spoiler:Miasma, which can create diseases that don’t follow conventional rules, such as being spread by eye contact]].
* ObstructiveCodeOfConduct: Restriction Skills are vows or oaths people can take that bind their actions. In return, the Skill gives a reward (usually a percentage boost to relevant Stats) when fulfilling the intent of their oath. However, breaking an oath can be deadly.
