* DidntThinkThisThrough: Sted's brilliant plan for his rematch with Josef is basically "let's make a deal with the guy I'm supposed to be protecting the world from and hope I manage to do what no-one in recorded history has!". He gets a funky replacement arm, at least.

* NeverMyFault: Berek Stedman does ''not'' take losing his duel to Josef during ''The Spirit Rebellion'' well at all. Thanks to his ego, he can't accept he was bested fairly and rationalizes his loss by believing Josef cheated or placing the blame on others (such as Slorn for providing a 'faulty' sword).

* SmallNameBigEgo: Berek Stedman during the second and third books. This Trope's also a major factor in his drive for revenge against Josef.

* AdultFear: It's not explored much, but [[spoiler:Eli and Banage's]] past has this in spades. Imagine that your twelve-years-old kid runs off into the woods after a huge fight between the two of you. You brush it off, thinking that the kid will just vent its anger and come back, but... they don't. Not that night, not the next day, not ever, and unbeknowst to you, [[spoiler:that's because they've been kidnapped by a goddess with too much attachment to her human toys]]. This quote from [[spoiler:Banage]] is telling:
-->''The day I saw your wanted poster was the happiest day of my life, because it said you were still alive.''

* WellDoneSonGuy: While not his primary motivation, Eli definitely has shades of this towards [[spoiler: Etmon Banage]]. The intro to the second book reveals a young Eli and his father arguing, with his father calling him worthless. Cut to the present day, where Eli sent him one of his wanted posters with the words changed slightly.

* AFormYouareComfortableWith: When the Demon of Dead Mountain finally gets out, the characters all see his human form as someone they know and trust. Miranda thinks he looks like a younger version of Banage, Eli thinks he looks a lot like Giuseppe, and Nico sees him as a mix of Josef, Eli, and Tesset.
