** In an ironic twist, [[spoiler:the final round against Kvena is unloseable for the same reason. Astrake, while in Silvana's body, absorb's the latter's spirit so that they can share a body. This allows them to effortlessly dodge all of Kvena's spells.]]

* WhatYouAreInTheDark: [[spoiler:Ridgefern sends the party into a space with no essences to influence their thoughts, meaning their judgements are entirely their own. This is to [[SecretTestOfCharacter test]] how strong their wills are when confronted with some dark truths about essences and Kvena's past.]]

* PureIsNotGood: Pure positive or negative energy isn't good, since positive energy increases people's motivation to act and negative energy increases their doubts. There are times when having too much motivation is bad, such as when [[spoiler:Kvena uses positive energy to exploit Silvana's desire to kill herself.]] Likewise, having too much doubt prevents one from taking initiative in their life.

* PoliceAreUseless: The Cielcanto soldiers are understaffed and are struggling to contain monster threats. [[spoiler:This is implied to be due to excessive negative essence lowering their confidence. Once essence is balanced and then removed in the epilogue, the soldiers become more confident in suppressing monsters.]]
