While preparing for a renaissance fair at school, the Guardians, Jade, and Jackie are pulled inside a magical painting originating from Meridian.
- Adaptational Heroism: Phobos receives a bit here, as the imprisonment of Elias in his own painting was done by Wong instead of him.
- Affably Evil: The Enforcers compliment Hay Lin's artistic skills.
- Anti-Magic: Wong's dark magic ensures that no good magic works inside the world of the painting. Tohru has to cast a separate spell on the Talismans so that they'll work.
- Any Last Words?: Frost, right before Jade shoots a rocket at him and the Enforcers.Frost: This is the end for you. Any final words?Jade: I got some! Say 'hello' to my little friend!
- Even Evil Has Standards: Phobos kept the painting Elias was trapped in instead of destroying it because while Elias displeased him, he was no traitor and had done nothing worthy of execution.
- For Want Of A Nail:
- Rather than sneak into Phobos' castle in order to enter Elias' painting from the Meridian side, Uncle is able to craft a spell to get into the painting from the Earth side.
- A minor detail that also pops up — when making disguises to blend in within the painting, Hay Lin doesn't give Cornelia a peasant dress (to mock her vanity) but on Jade's suggestion instead gives her a jester outfit.
- Heart Is an Awesome Power: The Tiger talisman is used to get the Guardians and the other heroes out of Elias' painting, separating them (the good) from Phobos's minions (the evil).
- Small Girl, Big Gun: While trapped in Elias' painting, Jade draws a big rocket launcher to be used against Frost and the Enforcers.
- "You!" Exclamation: Cedric, upon encountering Tohru again.
- You Have GOT to Be Kidding Me!: Cornelia's reaction when she tells Jade to use the bazooka the latter painted against the bad guys, only for Jade to confess she didn't think to paint any extra ammo.
