to:
* AlwaysChaoticEvil: Downplayed. Whilst the powers that Sorcerers wield does incline them to rule cruelly over the Parsoner majority, nothing inherently says a Sorcerer has to be a sadistic, self-absorbed monster. Their powers simply make it easier to indulge their dark sides, and many do succumb to the temptation, to say nothing of how the basic premise of the series is a band of elite assassins hunting the worst Sorcerers of all. A small number of sympathetic Sorcerers do appear, at least in the AnimatedAdaptation.
* EsotericHappyEnding: The ending of episode 9 of the anime attempts to present itself as a BittersweetEnding, but fumbles the landing. [[spoiler:Anna Pastry kills the Sorcerer Lord Croissant who was keeping her hostage on his estate out of misguided love, which she never wanted and instead wanted to return to performing on the stage. The problem is that Anna is under a curse that leaves her trapped as a cat. Croissant could temporarily turn her back into a human on the nights of the full moon, but wasn't strong enough to break the curse fully. So, with Croissant dead, Anna is stuck as a cat for the rest of her life and will never return to the stage again anyway; at least before she could be human on a select few nights!]]

* HeelRealization: [[spoiler:In episode 11 of the anime, Yukke initially attempts to perform a Forbidden Magic spell in hopes of reviving his dead parents with the same excited eagerness as his twin brother Kuppa. When he ''sees'' the result, however, he is horrified -- and even more aghast when Kuppa crushes the seed-like remnants of their victim's bodies, causing them to die when he had the power to return them to normal. Yukke becomes completely opposed to Kuppa's mad scheme
* {{Lunacy}}: Episode 9 of the AnimatedAdaptation features a Sorcerer who draws his power from the moon. The fuller the moon is, and the more exposed it is in the night sky, the greater his powers are. In particular, it's declared that under the light of a full moon, his spells and his HealingFactor would make him virtually invincible, and that not even the Sorcerer Hunters might be able to defeat him. [[spoiler:His unwilling lover defeats him by stabbing him in the heart whilst the moon is covered by a cloud.]]
* TheMagocracy: The Sorcerers are the ruling caste of the Spooner Continent, as their magical powers simply allow them to crush any attempt by the non-magical "Parsoners" to resist their wills, causing the Parsoners to declare Sorcerers their rulers mostly in hope that this would appease them and keep them from being too cruel. That said, there is a hierarchy of Sorcerers, and it's possible for Sorcerers to become impoverished if they mishandle their holdings.
