** Scott and Milo's reunion at the end of the series. On Milo's end, he doesn't care what happened as long as they're at each other's side again, and on Scott's end, he literally gives up on his powers -- and by extension, ''conditional immortality'' -- for this reunion to happen in the first place.

** Unlike the dungeon trials before them, Cleo and El are both good sports about it and keep their "rivalry" friendly and civil. After Cleo wins the boss battle, [[DefeatMeansFriendship they even offer to teach El Hex Casting to help her become more powerful]], with El declaring that they can be "awesome together".
*** By El's 4th episode, not only has this promise come to pass, but she has been inducted as an official member of the Coven and wins the "loser battle" to do her friends proud.

* {{Moe}}: Little Pris from [[MyFutureSelfAndMe her present-day counterpart's dream]], who thinks her future self having magical powers is really cool and doesn't understand how her future self would have trouble making friends because of this.
* SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome:
** Pris discovers an Ancient City in her 2nd episode, and naturally, accidentally spawns a Warden right in front of her. While she doesn't survive the encounter, she manages to delay certain death by ''[[FloatingInABubble trapping the Warden in a bubble]]'' so that its sonic shriek attack bounces off its walls and rebounds on the Warden itself.
** In spite of Bertha's warnings that the Void Blossom boss is powerful and formidable, Cleo takes [[CurbStompBattle minimal damage]] in her fight against it… as in, a fight that is over in [[OneManArmy approximately 30 seconds]].
** After summoning the god-tier boss Ayla, Scott proceeds to use the Fang Barrage spell to [[KillTheGod defeat her]] in [[CurbStompBattle 10 seconds]]. While having lost 15% of HP due to an earlier [[DealWithTheDevil demonic contract]] and taking next to ''no'' damage.
* NightmareFuel:
** Shelby and Pris' Ancient City raid goes very, very wrong when Shelby mistakenly believes that every person can trigger a Shrieker 4 times before a Warden is summoned. In actuality, 4 Shriekers have to be triggered ''in total'' for a Warden summon… and naturally, Warden #1 is summoned mere blocks away from Pris. The two essentially had to stand still for a ''long'' while before it crawls back into the ground. Then Shelby tries to get ''one last chest''… and inadvertently triggers a fifth Shrieker and summons Warden #2 ''right in front of her''. At one point, it was quite literally ''staring her down'' before roaring and immediately killing her.
** When Pris and Joey decide to pull a RivalsTeamUp [[EnemyMine against Scott]] and attempt to sneak into his house to Taglock him for curses… it goes [[CurbStompBattle very poorly]]. It turns out that Scott already ''knew'' of their plans due to {{invisibility}} espionage, has already taken the time to sabotage Pris' cursing equipment, and considering his own NighInvulnerability ''and'' the fact that he beat multiple Withers earlier in his episode, he seems to almost treat the entire ordeal as a game and ends the confrontation having taken zero damage whatsoever.
** While searching to tame a Dire Wolf as a mount, Tiff stumbles across… a strange figure in the woods, which looks like it has a ''deer skull'' for a head. She immediately flees into the trees and cries for someone to sleep and make it day already.
*** It's later revealed that it's Scott wearing a Leshon skull, who even directly name-drops the trope after transforming for the first time.
