I do know there is a trope misuse clean-up thread that could possibly be of use. Beyond that, unfortunately, I don't have much other advice

Zero knowledge about this game, but I'll throw in my two cents. The "Adaptational X" tropes are about characters and how effectively they can accomplish their goals in the narrative. When a gameplay element is more useful in a sequel/adaptation, you are looking at a Balance Buff: "Balance Buff, in its simplest terms, describes improving mechanics within a game by improving how effective they are." If a class/spell/whatever is weaker in the sequels, then you've got a Nerf: "a change to a game that weakens a particular item, ability or tactic".

Balance Buff and Nerf look exactly like what some of these examples describe, thank you! I'll move what I can rather than go for deletion.
