** One of the unlockable arcanum for Fortuna's deck is the Penitent One from ''VideoGame/{{Blasphemous}}''.

** One of Fortuna's old friends, Grethe, has made a pact with a Behemoth named Gaethëryan, which is clear by how it's warped half of her head. [[spoiler:If Fortuna predicted that the Arbiter Thea would kill a witch, it leads to Grethe getting killed for this act, and Fortuna unlocking Gaethëryan as an arcane focus for her tarot cards. Alternatively, if Grethe lives, Fortuna can help her banish Gaethëryan and receive the arcane focus as a reward.]]

* ShoutOut: One of the unlockable arcanum for Fortuna's deck is the Penitent One from ''VideoGame/{{Blasphemous}}''.

* DreamTellsYouToWakeUp: Late in the game, [[spoiler:Fortuna gets a note that tells her to "wake up", and she seemingly does, finding herself back on the beach where she ascended, her friends telling her she almost drowned. They ask her several questions about the "delusions" she had in her supposed near-death experience... Only for Abramar to ''actually'' wake Fortuna up back on her meteor. Another witch used this trope as a BaitAndSwitch, sending her hallucinations from her past in order to pump her for information. It's possible to admit to some pretty serious secrets if you don't catch on, which hurt your election chances when revealed. If you've decided that you wanted Power when you sealed the Earth Arcana with Abramar, then, you can wake up on yout own very early and don't spill any real secret tou your opponents because Aedana gave you an artefact which boosts your capacities.]]

** m The fourth potential candidate during the ElectionDayEpisode is Cupressa, an ancient witch that's completely forsaken humanity to become a tree with the face of a woman, who believes that the human qualities of her rival candidates like empathy and ambition will prevent them from acting completely selflessly and impartially.

* ThirdEye: The Behemoth that Fortuna summons for her DealWithTheDevil has one, as well as an eye on its chest. Upon making the pact with Abramar, Fortuna gains one herself, but is able to hide it when dealing with visitors.

* MetaphoricallyTrue: Fortuna attempts to justify whatever she sacrifices in her SadisticChoice by claiming that "sacrifice" is not always synonymous with "death". [[spoiler:The regular endings prove this to be the case, as whatever's sacrificed isn't gone. It's just that Abramar's the one that owns it now, whether that means having the coven worship him as their new god or keeping a life hostage in order to control Fortuna.]]

* SadisticChoice: In order to complete her DealWithTheDevil, Fortuna must choose one of three things she will inevitably sacrifice: her immortality, her coven, or the one she loves the most. With the latter two, Fortuna can try to justify her choice by stating the contract doesn't guarantee death; it's also possible that they could split apart due to something like ideological differences.

* TheExile: Fortuna begins the game at year 200 of a thousand-year-long banishment from reality, after undermining her coven leader's authority and accurately predicting when the coven would end.

* ThirdEye: The Behemoth that Fortuna summons for her DealWithTheDevil has one. Upon making the pact with Abramar, Fortuna gains one herself, but is able to hide it when dealing with visitors.

* GenderBender: Fortuna can potentially meet with a potential new apprentice to the sisterhood, who turns out to be pre-op transgender. A little bit of magic tea and some questions about the witch they'd like to become later, and the apprentice is physically transformed into the woman they want to be. Before the rite begins, Fortuna also mentions doing it for her sister once.

* RealityWarper: Upon making a contract with Abramar, he notes that Fortuna's newly-enhanced power of foresight doesn't just read the future; it rends the cosmos themselves in order to ''make'' her predictions truthful.

* {{Seers}}: Fortuna is one, channeling her powers through her tarot deck. When she was merely a child, she predicted how her older sister would die, and claims that she's never made an incorrect prediction since.

Two hundred years into her wrongful millennium-long exile, the immortal but depowered fortuneteller Fortuna has reached her limit. Aching to regain contact with the world, she recites a cursed incantation and summons a Behemoth, an ancient being older than the universe itself. The Behemoth is amused by her ambition, and pledges to help regain her power by crafting a deck of tarot cards more powerful than any other. Soon, Fortuna is reconnecting with old witch friends and making deals with the Arbiters overseeing her exile, but ends up caught in the middle of a political struggle that could determine the fate of [[TitleDrop the Cosmic Wheel Sisterhood]] forever.

* DealWithTheDevil: Fortuna makes one at the beginning of the game, in order to regain access to magic during her exile.

* NaturalElements: Magic, including Fortuna's infused deck, is fueled by four basic elements: Air, for stability; Water, for emotion; Earth, for strength; and Fire, for growth. The deck Fortuna crafts must start with a card that's purely attuned to Air, due to the behemoth she pacts with giving her access to only one element in that tutorial, but by choosing specific divinations in readings, later cards can have mixed affinities that can affect what interpretations are accessible during future predictions.

* RealityWarper: Upon making a contract with the Behemoth, said Behemoth notes that Fortuna's newly-enhanced power of foresight doesn't just read the future; it rends the cosmos themselves in order to ''make'' her predictions truthful.
