YMMV / The Tale Of Magic

• Angst? What Angst?: While his father was an Abusive Parent, it’s a bit odd that Xanthous gets over unintentionally killing him the second he gets a Power Nullifier.
• Harsher in Hindsight: Xanthous kills the Snow Queen in the Land of Stories. The Plot Twist of A Tale of Magic is that Madame Weatherberry is the Snow Queen. Xanthous killed his former teacher. Or at least the little that was left.
• Rainbow Lens: Magic is considered a sin and a choice and is punishable by death in most areas. The main source of this claim is a religion that’s completely coincidently similar to Christianity. There’s also facilities meant to cure people of their magic.
