Trope has been disambiguated.


* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: According to setting material this is a side-effect of being a ''magicuser of the inner power''[[note]]They bend the world with willpower[[/note]] (Belsőerős mágiahasználó). In contrast the ''magicusers of the outer power''[[note]]They use TheForce, as the BackgroundMagicField[[/note]] who stand out whatever they do for better or worse (good if you intend to lead, but good luck being on a stealth mission).

* OurGodsAreGreater: As demons personify discord, gods are the personification of harmony (this doesn't make them always nice though) and because of the eastern influences [[OddJobGods everything has gods / spirits]].

Misuse. Developers Foresight is when the game has a response for unlikely player actions.


* LoadsAndLoadsOfRules: The core mechanic is simple (don't roll between your relevant skill and the difficulty number with a d100). But because TheDevteamThinksOfEverything there is supplementary stuff for almost everything, combat, magic and character generation/advancement are the worst offenders.

* 3 Short Story collections (''Legendák Könyve'' - Book of Legends)
* A CD with dedicated mood music.


Added DiffLines:

* OrphanedSeries: Well it is. Even its main creator acknowledges that without the ''Worldbook'', that [[DevelopmentHell never got finished]], this game is incomplete.

* BanOnMagic: Full ban on [[TheDarkArts Demonology]] (because it perverts the harmony of nature), partial ban on [[TimeMaster Time magic]][[note]][[{{Seers}} Looking into the Future]] and [[TimeTravel Traveling to the Past]][[/note]] (because of the ButterflyOfDoom) as both [[ApocalypseHow endanger the world]] and also the [[ObstrusiveBureaucrat Imperial Bureaucracy]] would like to remind you to get your registration and permit up to date for anything else too just in case.

Added DiffLines:

* HowDoIShotWeb: {{Defied|Trope}} (and {{Discussed|Trope}}) in the Magic supplement. You got a super power / extra organ / arms / wings / etc. through divine blessing, transformation magic or something? Then you also got the [[RequiredSecondaryPowers required knowledge and secondary powers]] to use it to the best of your [[GamingStatTropes abilities]], because it works through [[{{Creator/Plato}} Platonic Ideas]]. Maliciously subverting the law is in the realm of the demonic so if ''that'' happens you probably already have bigger problems... like EverythingTryingToKillYou.


Added DiffLines:

* PlatonicCave: The physical world is just a mere shadow of the upper levels of the LayeredWorld. Not that this will mean anything to your character if he/she isn't a magicuser or doesn't meddle into the godly (or gods forbid the demonic).

* SlidingScaleOfFreeWillVsFate / AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: Well the more authority (read: power) you have the less choices you got. Like the most powerful entities don't destroy the world because its not their fate. In contrast a mere mortal, basically has no fate at all (the universe doesn't care about them). Until they become powerful rulers or mighty wizards that is.
** The game demonstrates it with two overlapping triangles: One points up △ representing freedom and one down ▽ representing power, where they intersect ◇ are the things anybody actually ''can'' do. It also demonstrates that any being is best off if he/she/it can find the balancing point where his/her/its choices and abilities overlap.
