* {{Masquerade}}: As Maxwell explains in "Magic in the Air", humans and magical beings originally lived side by side. However, human civilization grew, the magical people were forced into the fringes with their numbers shrinking, leading them to retreat into the shadows until they were forgotten. Today, fairies and elves live amongst humans and, organised into the DMI, work to prevent the human populace from learning that magic is more than a myth.

* FantasticRacism: The relationship between the races in this series is bumpy. Fairies and elves, the foremost species of magical people, have a particularly rocky history. In ancient Lemuria, the two races lived and worked together create the Orb of Lemuria, a union of their respective magicks, only for a war to break out over who would wield it, forcing cooler heads to hide the Orb as the Lemurian Empire fell. Today, fairies and elves work together to protect humanity and keep the secret of magic, though tensions remain. After acquiring the Orb, Orla seizes control of the DMI from Sean, gaining Jared's support as she an elf, is usurping Sean, a fairy. HalfHumanHybrids have their troubles; Professor Maxwell, the son of an elf and a human, recalls that his parents were not accepted in the other's world. As a human accidentally infused with elf and fairy magic, Kyra becomes an object of awe and fear as the Tri-ling. Even classmates are not above playful banter, usually started by elf siblings Imogen and Darra, though fairies Lily and Ruksy give as good as they get, however, all four support and accept Kyra, though Imogen was reluctant at first. In regards to humans, some magical people, though charged with protecting humanity, are shown to look down and shun them. Orla takes this to the extreme as she intends to use the power of the Orb to force mankind to submit under a regime of "Magical Supremacy".
