* ManaMeter: Mana is required to cast spells, but interestingly enough, the mana meter is attached to the spell itself, not to the fairy who casts it. So if you, for example, take a spell that has 3 uses left from one fairy and [[PowersAsPrograms put it on a different fairy]], it will still have only 3 uses.

* AttackReflector: A few of the nastier passive spells inflict the same amount of damage on your fairy that you have dealt to the enemy.
* BizarreSexualDimorphism: All male goblins are thin and lanky. All female goblins have HartmanHips, and their skin is darker and looks scaly.
* CharacterInTheLogo: A fairy facing to the left is in the middle of the second "Z" of the logo.
* ChargedAttack: Every offensive spell has to be charged for several seconds before you can release it, with the charging speed depending on the spell in question. Longer charge causes more damage and higher chance of critical hits that can inflict various StatusEffects. However, charging the spell for too long will cause it to explode in your face, inflicting the same damage and StatusEffects on ''you''.

* CooldownManipulation: Every offensive spell has to be charged for several seconds before you can release it. The base charging speed depends on the spell in question, but there are passive spells that can increase it and harmful status effects from enemy spells that can decrease it.
* DamageOverTime: Burn (fire and energy magic), freeze (ice magic), and poison (nature magic) are status effects that cause the affected fairy to constantly lose HP. What's worse, unlike all other StatusEffects, these persist even after the duel is over and you have to use a consumable item to remove them.

[[TheComputerIsACheatingBastard Of course, your enemies don't have the same problem.]]
* DeflectorShields: There are several different passive spells that can lower the damage you receive. Thorn Armor protects you from ''all'' damage, but it only has enough mana to take five hits.
* GradualRegeneration: Water and Light fairies have passive spells that can heal a flat amount of HP every few seconds.
* InterfaceScrew: Several offensive spells have StatusEffects that affect the player, such as temporarily inverting the controls, so that pressing the button to move forward will cause the fairy to move backwards and trying to move left will cause it to move right. It's more dangerous than it sounds, because duels take place in a fairly small arena and falling off it into the BottomlessPits below will kill you.
* LimitedMoveArsenal: Each fairy can be equipped with two active offensive and two passive StatusBuff spells. You can only change the equipped spells outside of combat.
* ManaBurn: There is a Dark offensive spell that can remove a portion of the target's mana, which can be dangerous since mana doesn't regenerate in battle and if you run out, you will be either a sitting duck or you'll have to [[CastFromHitpoints use your hitpoints]] to attack.
* OurFairiesAreDifferent: Fairies are small beings with magic powers that can move between [[AnotherDimension astral plane]] where the duel battles take place and [[MagicalLand Zanzarah]]. There are 77 types of fairies that belong to 12 diferent elements. Some look like a stereotypical WingedHumanoid with butterfly or bird wings, but others look like polar bears, mushrooms, fish, dragons, demons, undead, and other bizarre creatures.

Rafi, who believes that she's a prophesied hero who can save the world. He hides a transportation rune in Amy's home, and when she touches it, the rune transports her to Zanzarah.
* SwampsAreEvil: The Great Swamp around Dunmore is a rather grim and difficult area for one of the early stages of the game. The area is extremely convoluted and covered in fog, making it easy to get lost. You have to jump between small narrow islands to move across it, and taking more than a single step into the water will cause Amy to [[NonStandardGameOver drown in quicksand]]. There are also several enemy Shadow Elves that you have to defeat, and the swamp contains an entrance to their home Shadow realm. Still, the native swamp goblins are pretty nice people.

* StarterMon: Before you leave Endeva, you must choose one of three starter fairies offered to you by Rufus: Sillia, an all-rounder Nature fairy with a good evolution path; Grem, a tanky Stone fairy; or Tadana, a wonky Water fairy. The last one may seem like an odd choice, if not for the fact that you won't have an opportunity to capture a stronger water fairy for quite a while after that.

Misuse. Chaos is treated like any other element in the setting with its own strengths and weaknesses

* ElementNumberFive: A faery belongs to one of twelve categories: Nature, Air, Water, Light, Energy, Psi, Stone, Ice, Fire, Dark, Chaos, and Metal. With the exception of Chaos, all of these are regular additional elements. Chaos is the element of death or unlife, hence why Nature, which represents life, is strong against it.
