The Purple Essence provides examples of:
- An Ice Person: Izrayl's (and of course, Cyril's) main elemental powers are of the ice element.
- Benevolent Precursors: The Artisans. They are the ancestors of the dragons, and developed many forms of magic and technology. Sadly, most of their knowledge was lost over the many centuries.
- Big Damn Heroes: In chapter 3, Izrayl arrives in the nick of time and fires an icicle at the ape that was battling the weakened Spyro and Cynder, and in the process, kills it. As a result, he saves Cynder from an untimely demise at the hands of that ape.
- Hero-Worshipper: Ember really is a fan of Spyro's deeds.
- MacGuffin: The three pieces of the rare purple crystal. According to a scroll written in the time of the Ancients, it is said to be very powerful and grants the user the ability to rule over dragons.
