* AllAccessibleMagic: Ritual spells can be performed by anyone, as they draw mana from the environment while mages use their own inner reserves (although they do use rituals for more complex spells). Artax runs a shop called "Spells 4 U" that specializes in ritual kits, and very strongly advises his customers to follow the directions exactly.

* HaveYouSeenMyGod: Maybe the Creator is still around, but [[InMysteriousWays more subtle than He used to be]]. Maybe he's [[PiecesOfGod broken into pieces]]. Maybe the God the theists worship is real and still around, but is more of a {{Dimension Lord}} and not the actual creator of all things. ''Something'' is powering the Ecclesiasts' [[ReligionIsMagic divine magic]], but maybe it's just [[ClapYourHandsIfYouBelieve the power of faith]] being fueled by TheForce.

Baleful Polymorph is no longer a trope


* {{Curse}}: It was intended as a BalefulPolymorph by the [[EvilSorcerer Evil Wizard]], in three different forms. Metamor's defenders were able to modify it but could not remove it once it took hold of a person. It has become a [[{{Mutants}} Genetic Curse]] that affects people over a long range, and is centered on the Citadel of Metamor City.

copied over the more detailed Everybody has lots of sex description from that page


* EverybodyHasLotsOfSex: When a sizeable percentage of the population are {{Gender Bender}}s with a magically-increased sex drive, and hedonism is an accepted and official religion, it's not surprising that this trope is in full effect.

For the most part, there's not surprising that this trope is in full effect. a very big stigma around sex, especially since there are magic spells to hinder unwanted pregnancies and [=STDs=], and the major religions seem to be generally sex-positive too. So people are, if not encouraged to have a lot of sex, at least not discouraged from it.
