Removing trope misuse; A Wizard Did It is for a continuity error that doesn't receive an explanation for why it occurred; instead, the work just hand-waves it as a wizard doing some kind of magic that is never explained. Aura has explanations and how it gets used to give people super-human abilities. Fans don't have to like the explanation, but Aura having an explanation for its function is not the same thing as an unexplained continuity error being hand-waved as "magic".

** When Ruby Rose boards the Atlesian cruiser that Roman Torchwick hijacked, he gets very frustrated as this is the third time she's meddled in his fun, but he doesn't go into full breakdown until she's able to take [[EvenEvilHasLovedOnes Neo]] out of the picture and she vows to win the day. He quickly resorts to beating her with his cane, ranting and raving about how her HeroicSpirit doesn't have a place in this cold and unfeeling world, that if she's going to play the part of the hero, then she should just roll over and die already and that he'll keep on going by lying, cheating, stealing and surviving. [[spoiler:[[{{Irony}} He's then promptly eaten by a Griffin Grimm.]]]]
** In Volume 4, the AxCrazy Tyrian is injured in battle by Ruby; screaming in agony and angrily calling her a bitch, he retreats, [[MadnessMantra repetatively muttering]] to himself that [[BigBad Salem]] will forgive him for failing in his mission to capture Ruby. When Salem, whom Tyrian worships as a goddess, quietly tells him that he has disappointed her, he is reduced to a sobbing wreck. When his despair attracts the attention of a Beowulf, he bats it away on reflex before pouncing on it. He begins slashing the Beowulf with increasingly manic strikes until his [[BerserkerTears sobs]] turn to unhinged [[LaughingMad laughter]]. [[TheHeavy Cinder]], who watched the destruction of Beacon and the deaths of countless citizens and students with undisguised glee, watches Tyrian's descent into madness in open-mouthed horror.
** Ilia, a member of the White Fang and an EvilFormerFriend of Blake Belladonna, starts to break down when Blake confronts her with the choices she has made, persistently maintaining Ilia is a good person deep down, and begging her to think of what her deceased parents would think if they could see her now. The mention of her parents reduces her to tears, but their fight is interrupted by the fight of Blake's father, Ghira, spilling across into theirs, leaving her in danger of being crushed by a balcony that collapses in flames. [[spoiler:Ghira almost sacrifices himself to save Ilia, paralyses her until the fight ends, where she breaks down into helpless sobs. After that, she [[HeelFaceTurn throws herself whole-heartedly into Blake's cause and switches sides.]]]]
** The two Menagerie White Fang representatives, Corsac and Fennec Albain, are quiet, soft-spoken manipulators. They smile easily to people's faces while plotting their downfall from the shadows. Against their better judgement, they obediently carry out Adam's instructions to assassinate Blake's family. However, as they originally feared, the confrontation turns sour: [[spoiler:when Fennec is killed by a balcony that collapses in flames, Corsac erupts as he demands to know if the Belladonnas have any idea what they've just done. His attempt to attack is rebuffed and he seems utterly defeated when the police chief demands to know if his brother's death was worth it before ordering his men to take Corsac away.]]
** In the Volume 5 episode "Haven's Fate", Emerald is reduced to a sobbing mess that causes her to reach beyond the limits of her powers to inflict a mass illusion on everyone in the same room as her. [[spoiler:Upon seeing Yang return with the Relic with no sign of Cinder, Emerald collapses in tears at the thought of Cinder being gone, ignoring the approach of the Mistral police force. When pressed by Mercury to escape, Emerald clutches her head and screams as she inflicts a mass illusion on the protagonists. Terrified by the spectacle they witness, the protagonists are utterly distracted, allowing the villains to escape. However, Emerald is rendered comatose by the extreme nature of her power use.]]
** Before this, in "The More The Merrier", Cinder is so outraged by what she sees as a kid getting a lucky grazing hit on her mask that she retaliates by [[spoiler:'''skewering Weiss through the back with a spear'''. What makes this KickTheDog moment especially cruel is that Weiss is left on her knees, gasping in pain and horror, grasping at the spear jutting out of her torso in a twisted repeat of how Pyrrha died. Smugly satisfied, Cinder leaves with Raven and Vernal to get the Relic and then when she kills Vernal to take the Relic and her power, she freaks out when she realises that Vernal was never the Spring Maiden and is promptly defeated by Raven, the real one.]]
** Adam Taurus has an extensive one over the course of Volume 6, starting at the end of Volume 5. With Blake getting the best of him at Haven, turning much of the Faunus against him, Adam attempts a massive suicide bombing to take out his followers and enemies alike, snapping at one of his men for calling him out. With the White Fang turning against him and his plans foiled, Adam flees. When the rest of the White Fang reject and belittle him, Adam openly massacres them in a throne room, destroying the throne itself at the mere thought of Blake. Throughout Volume 6, Adam relentlessly stalks Blake across the continent, becoming more deranged in their next confrontation, especially when Yang joins the fight, no longer afraid of Adam. When it becomes clear that Adam was never gonna stop trying to kill them, Blake and Yang kill him in self defense.
** In "As Above, So Below" Jacques Schnee's attitude completely tanks once his daughter Weiss arrives with evidence that [[spoiler:he allied himself with Watts to win the election to Atlas' council]], trying and failing to escape and being hauled away by the police while complaining about their "rough treatment".
* VillainousCrush: During their time together in the White Fang, Ilia fell for Blake around the same time Blake was falling for Adam. [[spoiler:She has been deeply jealous of this fact for a while now and appears to still hold some feelings for Blake as she blushed when finally admitting them; however, they aren't enough for her to side with Blake over the White Fang. She eventually comes around to Blake's way of thinking due to several factors, including her love for Blake, her realisation that her dead parents would disapprove of her choices, and Ghira rescuing her from being crushed.]]

** Following the communications system between Kingdom's going down, General James Ironwood attempts to restore communications by converting Amity Colosseum into Amity Communications Tower by the time the heroes reach the Kingdom of Atlas. However, the reason for the supplies needed to get it running are kept a secret and cause tension between the people of Mantle as a result. [[spoiler:Ironwood planned to tell the world about the existence of [[BigBad Salem]] when Amity was up and running. When he learned that Salem herself was on her way to Atlas however, Ironwood abandoned his original plan and decided to only save Atlas while leaving Mantle to die. Because of this, Ruby Rose decides to finish the original plan and manages to briefly restore worldwide communications and send a message revealing everything they had learned about the situation up to that point. While the majority of the message is shown all across Remnant to characters from previous Volumes, the ending is cut off after Penny succumbs to a virus and let's go of the communications tower.]]

This is clearly not episode-specific, so moved it from the recap pages and made an entry here.
Added DiffLines:
* UnnaturallyLoopingLocation: In Volume 9, every time a character tries to walk directly to the tree, they find themselves looping constantly in the location they're in. Ruby decides on the beach in the first episode to head there to gain the high ground and see the lay of the land, but she constantly loops until she gives up in tears. When Blake tries to warn Weiss against trying that in the second episode, Weiss dismisses Blake's fairy-tale logic in favour of "real" logic. Not only does she experience the same looping as Ruby, but when she tries a throw a rock at the tree, it also loops and strikes her in the back of the head.
