| 7 | * FunctionalMagic: There are various kinds of magic in the story but it is clear in the lessons, and hinted at in the story for the other kinds, that there are [[MagicAIsMagicA strict rules]] to how it is applied: |
| 8 | ** [[spoiler: Inherent Magic: This is magic that comes from within a person. It depends on the magical abilities of the person concerned and it broadly follows the 4 elements: earth, air, water and fire.]] |
| 9 | ** [[spoiler: Trance Magic: This is when someone utilizes the magic in the stuff around them. One needs to go into a trance to access it and it is more flexible.]] |
| 10 | * HalfHumanHybrid: [[spoiler: Corrie finds out, in Books 5 and 6, that her (missing) father is actually a werewolf. The reason why he was not within her life is because her mother chucked him out because he neglected to mention that fact until she was pregnant.]] |

Some acquaintances of Corrie try to help by [[spoiler: subjecting Paul to a magical restraining order. However, Corrie feels that magic should not be used to subvert someone's will so rescinds the order in Book 9. See IfICantHaveYou.]] |
| 16 | * TrueSight: In Book 1 we find out that [[spoiler: Dawn]] has the gift of true sight. Later, we find out this is because [[spoiler: Dawn's Aunt Pru was given a special ointment by a faerie man]]. |
