* InadequateInheritor: In one episode the Stygians incapacitate Falkenar and then have a Stygian-aligned Kusan noble challenge for the right to rule, as without Falkenar, the next in line to serve as the crown's champion is an untrained and unwarrior-like boy. [[spoiler:After Conan and Zula's efforts to train him up for the ritual combat fail miserably, the boy uses a relic to pass his ability to wield the flying cloak (and with it his right to the throne) to Conan so he can be champion in his stead]].

** Episode 16 has Jezmine and Conan note that this scenario is much like a previous one, referring to their near-disastrous adventure after the Star of Transmutation. The EvilSorcerer even turns out to be the same one from that episode, and references it himself.

* EnemyCivilWar: The many forces of evil in this series are by no means united as a collective, and even amongst Set's own forces there's notable examples of political struggles; Wrath-Amon dethroned Ram-Amon as Set's right hand, and Ram-Amon naturally wants to take the role back, whilst the Damballahs, despite also worshipping Set, are fierce enemies of Stygia, to the point that when Set tells their high priest Sadinar that he would welcome a new champion, Sadinar makes plans to launch a full-blown war on Stygia to defeat Wrath-Amon and take his place. Nanoc the Nasty even notes during the episode "The Star of Transmutation" that whilst many dark sorcerers pay homage to Set, it's all lip service and all they really want is the demon-god's power, with no true loyalty.

Added DiffLines:

* MineralMacGuffin: Enchanted stones or metals show up in several episodes:
** Starmetal is the most ubiquitous; it's the iron ore from meteors that were originally part of the stars used to bind Set to the Abyss. They can be forged into weapons that banish Serpentmen to the Abyss, but also be used to breach the Abyss and release Set back into the world of men.
** The episode "The Star of Transmutation" has the titular stone, which can transmute any material into anything else the bearer commands, such as turning a mass of mud and sticks into a GiantSpider.
** The Amber of Asheron, from "Master Thief of Shadizar", is a hand-sized amber crystal that can generate bolts of lightning, and also [[TakenForGranite encase victims in a prison of amber]].
