* BatmanGambit: The Inter-Fiend Cooperation Commission gave Vaarsuvius the DealWithTheDevil for ultimate power because they wanted Xykon to get off his butt and resume hunting the Gates. They figured that if V had enough power, they would lash out at the most powerful subject available- Xykon.

* WhamLine: In the final page, Vaarsuvius speaks with Blackwing, apologizing for treating their familiar badly before in the past, and thanking the raven for doing their part in trying to destroy Xykon's phylactery. How does Blackwing, who refused to speak common and only communicated through an empathic link respond? "You're welcome." This demonstrates the shift in the relationship between the wizard and familiar.

** Deconstructed; V disintegrates Kubota simply to avoid a subplot they have absolutely no interest in, despite having no idea who Kubota even was to begin with. Elan is still horrified by the elf deciding to resort to murder for the sake of self-centered expedience.
** Played slightly straighter when, after the soul-splice, they move the entire Azure City fleet to an abandoned island they know of, though again not for selfless reasons. They just want to be done with the Azurites.

* DidntThinkThisThrough: As Elan even points out to V, their idea to cover up Kubota's murder involves lying to a ''paladin'', and even '''''Elan''''' knows this makes it a bad plan.

* LetsGetDangerous: V and O-Chul separating Xykon from his phylactery pisses the lich off to the extent he gets really serious about snuffing them out. "Meteor Swarm down the throat" serious.
