!!Tropes:
* AnAesop: Haste makes waste. Or rather, "Cutting corners only takes you further from where you want to go."
* AffectionateGestureToTheHead: Eda rubs Luz's head to congratulate her for learning a new spell. Edric then mimics it with Amity, much to her annoyance.
* AnimateInanimateObject: Eda uses a potion to bring vegetables to life so they'll cook themselves, which King borrows to bring his stuffed animals to life.
* ArmorPiercingResponse: When Luz points out she only knows the light spell:
-->'''Eda:''' And whose fault is that?\\
'''Luz:''' Yours.\\
'''Eda:''' Ha! Yep, got me there.
* AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: In their first appearance, it would be hard to classify Ed and Em as anything but bullies who tormented Amity. Here, it's shown they do have a more loving side for their younger sister as they help her try and master a new spell as an apology for the library incident.
* BigYes: Luz gets one of these when she and Eda arrive at the Knee.
* BlackComedy: Eda animates some vegetables to make them cook themselves. They immediately flee in terror.
-->'''Eda:''' Why do I always think that's gonna work?
* BlatantLies:
** Amity says that Azura Book 5 was just "fine". Luz holds up some fanart Amity left in the book to point out that she's clearly underselling it, which Amity [[DestroyTheEvidence burns on the spot]].
** Luz rather unconvincingly lies about knowing one more spell when Amity points out she needs to know at least two if she wants to get into the standard classes.
* CallBack:
** In "The Intruder", Eda guessed Luz could learn magic the way earlier witches did, which turned out to be drawing runes. Here, Eda builds on that by going to where witches first learned magic.
** Edric and Emira have been extra protective and nice towards Amity after the "library incident" in "Lost In Translation".
** This is a follow-up to "Something Ventured, Something Framed", when Luz's ban on Hexside is lifted and she becomes a student there.
* CantGetAwayWithNuthin: Luz fires a single spell with Amity's wand and is immediately caught by Eda.
* ContrivedCoincidence: Amity just happens to be training in the same location as Eda brings Luz to.
* CrisisMakesPerfect: Amity spends the episode practicing a fire spell with a training wand that does most of the work for her, and is caught flat-footed when Luz burns the wand out. When she needs to free Eda, Emira, and Edric in the climax, she manages to cast the spell herself with a bit of effort.
* DoubleMeaningTitle: Luz has an adventure "in the elements" in a place with cold, snowy weather. She also learns how magic comes from the natural elements of the Isles.
* EasilyForgiven: Amity doesn't hold a grudge against Luz for stealing her wand and burning out the charge, evidently recognizing that Luz didn't mean to burn it.
* EurekaMoment: When Luz casts a light spell into the night sky, a constellation appears that forms a light glyph. Luz then realizes that the glyphs appear in nature when she catches a snowflake, allowing her to learn the ice glyph.
* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: Eda takes Luz to the Knee, which is the knee of the deceased giant which makes up the Boiling Isles.
* ExorcistHead: The teddy bear turns its body without turning its head when King says it can't have any snacks.
* FireForgedFriends: After Hooty helps King destroy the dolls that turned on King, the two are much closer, at least until Hooty ruins the moment.
* ForcedSleep: Eda knocks out the slitherbeast with a sleep spell once she has the chance.

* LuredIntoATrap: Luz gets the slitherbeast to chase her, leading it onto an ice glyph she set up in advance so she can launch it into the air with an ice pillar.
* MagicWand: Amity practices spells with a "training wand" that comes precharged with magic, allowing witches to cast spells without having to put any effort in themselves. This helps them get the technique down without the strain of drawing on their own magic. This also allows Luz to cast using the wand, until she burns out the last of the charge.
* MistreatmentInducedBetrayal: The stuffed animals turn against King for mistreating them in boot camp.
* MundaneUtility: Eda makes a potion to animate her vegetables and have them cook themselves, rather than put them in the pot by hand.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Luz burns out the charge in Amity's MagicWand in a misguided attempt to learn magic like her, making it useless when Amity needs to cast a fireball against the slitherbeast.
* NotQuiteFlight: Luz decides to take herself and Eda home by creating an ice pillar below them at an angle to launch them in the right direction. While they're on a mountain. They're not in a hurry or anything--we don't even see how they landed. Emira decides she, Edric, and Amity can just walk back.
* OrganAutonomy: One of Luz's tasks is to find Eda's glove... along with her hand still inside the glove, which apparently just randomly wandered off.
* OurMagesAreDifferent: Eda attempts to teach Luz a second spell by applying what she knows about the earliest witches to use magic. Their methods focused on connecting to nature, contrast to modern witches who have a more scholarly focus. Ultimately, Eda's methods succeed, as Luz discovers the runes she needs to create occur naturally, which she calls a "gift" from the Isles.
* PetTheDog: Edric and Emira are helping Amity practice to apologize for nearly getting her killed in the library.
* PlayingWithFire: In contrast with Luz learning an ice spell, Amity spends the episode learning how to do a fire spell. Her fire comes out [[TechnicolorFire pink]], compared to orange when Eda and Luz (using the wand) cast the same spell.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: The stuffed animals gain red eyes when they turn against King.
* RetiredBadass: The Hexside pamphlet shows that Principal Bump founded Hexside by conquering the previous school and building his on the ruins.
