The modern-day heroine spends the first four-fifths of the book looking for information on a famed wizard, missing a boatload of clues that the attractive guy she keeps interacting with (and is developing a crush on) is, in fact, that wizard. A succession of failed Spot Checks. It would be partially attributable to Weirdness Censor but with a heaping helping of "you are the most infuriating person I've ever met" sexual tension. Is there a specific trope for this?
