* AcquiredPoisonImmunity: Malady has the Innoculated passive, which grants her immunity to poison. She gained this ability due to constantly working with poisons and chemicals.
* AscendedExtra: The Deepforge dwarves were sidequest characters in the previous game. In this game, they're more involved in the main plot because the party is helping them reclaim their home in the Underworld.
* BagOfSpilling: Ruth, Gwen, Stray, and Uno return as playable characters, but they don't keep their levels, lategame skills, and equipment from the previous game.
* BeneathTheEarth: Deepforge I is buried deep underground, and there's an entire world map underground known as the Ambrose Underworld, just like the Underworld of ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyIV''.
* TheChessmaster: Despite his nervous disposition, the whole plot more or less goes according to [[spoiler:Hermes's plan. He knows the Vulcan Stone is in the Underworld, so he tells the dwarves about a passage to it so that they'll organize an expedition to Deepforge I, putting the party in a position to find the Vulcan Stone pieces. He then tells Lissandra about the expedition and arranges for the party to find the pieces so that Lissandra doesn't have to risk her life. When the party finds the pieces, Hermes gives the pieces to Lissandra and allows her to escape, but then he tells the party where she's going so that when they reclaim the stone, it'll be in its completed form. In the final dungeon, this allows him to use the stone to remove "Lilith's Blessing" from Lissandra, bringing her back to normal at the cost of his own sanity and humanity.]]
* DeathByMaterialism: The dwarves of the first Deepforge were obsessed with digging for more treasure, but they eventually dug so much that the caves collapsed and their castle was submerged in magma. Many dwarves died because they refused to part with their riches despite the imminent danger.
* DragonAscendant: In the previous game, Lissandra fled the Lair of Typhus the Younger because she's next in line to take over the Drakon Cult if Hydrax dies. Since Hydrax is dead by the time of this game, she's now in charge of the cult. She seeks the two halves of the Vulcan Stone so that she can revive Typhus.
* EveryoneHasStandards: Uno may be willing to kill to enact justice, but he refuses to kill Ash when he learns the latter was brainwashed to commit crimes.
* HeelFaceTurn:
** In the main story, Ogronn is an ogre leader who obstructs the party from reclaiming Deepforge and from getting to Null Fortress. In the endgame, he goes to Vulcan in the hopes of raiding the town, but when he sees that citizens are devastated from a recent volcano eruption, he takes pity on them and helps them rebuild. When he meets the party again, he buries the hatchet with them and sends them on a quest to play hide-and-seek with his seemingly sapient doll.
** In the final dungeon, [[spoiler:Lissandra is freed from the evil influence of Lilith's master, but this required Hermes to use the Vulcan Stone, causing him to be transformed into a feral demon. After Lissandra helps the party MercyKill Hermes, she vows to destroy Lilith's master.]]
* TheHermit: Ash was once a brainwashed minion of Mona and was forced to kill anyone who opposed her rule. When he regained control, he holed up in a cabin in the snowy wilderness out of guilt.
* HiddenHeartOfGold: Even after being freed [[spoiler:from Lilith's master, Lissandra is still very haughty and rude to the party, and seemingly shows no sadness when they MercyKill her brother. After the credits, she secretly visits her brother's grave and swears to defeat Lilith's master.]]
* HonorBeforeReason: In Zamaste, there's no one running the shops, but despite Alex's insistence on taking free stuff, the party still pays money before taking any items or even using the inn to heal.
* InfinityPlusOneSword: If the player delivers 8 Magma Cores to Ullo, he'll use them to upgrade his furnace. He'll then sell the strongest weapons in the game, and it's possible to get multiple copies of each one.
* LeakedExperience: Reserve party members get full EXP. However, characters leave the party for plot reasons don't get any EXP, though they do return at a reasonable level for the current challenges.
* TheMole: When the Cult of Drakon intercepts the party at Spore Marsh, they believe someone within Deepforge is feeding information to the cult. [[spoiler:The traitor turns out to be Hermes, who is actually Lissandra's brother. Played with in that he always planned to take the Vulcan Stone from her so he can use it to restore her sanity, but at the cost of his own.]]
* MovesetClone: At the end of the game, [[spoiler:Hermes turns into a demon, but uses the last of his sanity to transfer his powers to Lissandra so that she can use cleric skills to help the party.]]
* PeninsulaOfPowerLeveling: After completing Zamaste, it's possible to sail to a patch of land on the Vulcan continent, where late game enemies spawn. This seems to be intentional game design, since the miniguide specifically lists this spot.
* PreexistingEncounters: The game has a setting that makes the majority of enemies either roaming or {{random encounter}}s, though some enemies in dungeons will always be preexisting while all world map enemies will always be random.
* PromotedToPlayable: Rae and Alex were two characters that only briefly were introduced drinking in a city and giving tips to Ruth on how to explore the Midnight. Hermes is a novice and a friend of Ruth's she can briefly speak with in the initial town of the game. Malady is Gwen's sister who would only show up occasionally and have a crush on Uno. They're now playable characters and members of your party.
* RageAgainstTheHeavens: After the credits, [[spoiler:Lissandra confirms that a god is commanding Lilith from behind the scenes, and she seeks to destroy that god for manipulating her and forcing Hermes to sacrifice himself.]]
* RestoredMyFaithInHumanity: Naitaka lost hope in coexisting with humans, elves, and dwarves after the people of Deepforge abandoned their home. After the party defeats him, the citizens of Eredor give Naitaka medical attention, causing him to realize that coexistence is still possible.
* SealedEvilInACan: In the final dungeon, [[spoiler:Hermes becomes a demon because he used the Vulcan Stone to free Lissandra from Lilith's master. Before he loses his sanity, he attempts to seal himself in another dimension, but the party follows him in and delivers a MercyKill.]]
* SequelHook: In the ending, [[spoiler:Lissandra seeks to defeat the divine being who is pulling the strings behind Typhus and Lilith, and Uno and Malady plan on secretly helping her.]]
* TerrorHero: Despite his reputation as an assassin, Uno claims that he killed less than five people. This is because even five assassinations are enough to deter potential targets from committing any crime that would make them stand out.
* WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity: The Vulcan Stone can grant wishes, but at the cost of turning its user into an insane demonic being. According to Tiamat, this is how Typhus fell to evil, which implies that the stone is cursed by [[spoiler:Lilith's master]].

''Knight Bewitched'' is a 2018 video game developed by Joshua Keith in RPG Maker.

* TheChessmaster: Despite his nervous disposition, the whole plot more or less goes according to [[spoiler:Hermes's plan. He knows the Vulcan Stone is in the Underworld, so he tells the dwarves about a passage to it so that they'll organize an expedition to Deepforge I, putting the party in a position to find the Vulcan Stone pieces. He then tells Lissandra as well so that she'll go after the pieces in the hopes of reviving Typhus. Then the party finds the pieces, Hermes gives the pieces to Lissandra and allows her to escape, but then he tells the party where she's going so that when they reclaim the stone, it'll be in its completed form. In the final dungeon, this allows him to use the stone to remove "Lilith's Blessing" from Lissandra, bringing her back to normal at the cost of his own sanity.]]

* NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist: Zigzagged. Typhus claims that he wants to kill off humanity because he believes they will eventually do the same to dragonkind. However, he instigated Zamaste to attack the dragons in order to start the conflict early and refuses to admit his error even when Strasza calls him out on his hypocrisy, and feels no guilt for all the dragons that died in that pointless war or for ruining the dragons' food supply. In the original game, Gwen believes he's just a generic villain who just uses his claims of humanity's evils to justify taking over the world. While the ''Enhanced Edition'' reveals that he's a TautologicalTemplar who fanatically worships [[spoiler:Lilith's master, he's also very insistent that he's favored by this divine being and refuses to accept the growing evidence that his master sees him as disposable, showing that he's too EgocentricallyReligious and blinded by pride to ever consider a better path to saving dragonkind.]] On the other hand, he built a memorial to dragons who died in battle, which implies that he may feel some guilt in getting them killed but viewed them as a necessary sacrifice.

* HeelFaceTurn: In the main story, Ogronn is an ogre leader who obstructs the party from reclaiming Deepforge and from getting to Null Fortress. In the endgame, he goes to Vulcan in the hopes of raiding the town, but when he sees that citizens are devastated from a recent volcano eruption, he takes pity on them and helps them rebuild.

* DragonAscendant: In the previous game, a cultist woman fled the Lair of Typhus the Younger because she's next in line to take over the Drakon Cult if Hydrax dies. Since Hydrax is dead by the time of this game, she's now in charge of the cult.

* JerkassHasAPoint: Uno calls out a thief for stealing from the Eastport Freebooters and selling the loot. The thief retorts that although the Freebooters steal from the rich, they're still disregarding the harm they're causing to those who financially depend on their victims. Uno is taken aback and agrees to purchase the stolen goods, which indicates that he sees the thief's point.
