Oooh, nice finds here!
Magic Is a Monster Magnet is explicitly called out at several points: weeds that specifically react to the power, swamps being full of stuff that targets it, etc.
Stronger with Age is also a general principle, even so far as age being a rough standard measure of the potency of any given wizard.
Zora's Kind Lake incident was full-blown Heroic RRoD, I think.
Prehensile Hair don't we see first with Zora as well? She's the one with really long hair and gleefully making it braid after learning that bathing trick on the swamp trip. From the description of the trope I'm not sure it counts as one of these specific "my hair has superpowers" things, though.
Zora and Grue are also almost candidates for Actual Pacifist, but again it doesn't quite fit — here the relevant thing is being *capable* of fighting at all, not ideological.
I love Bad Powers, Good People for Edgar; that's so fitting!
Wake also has Robe and Wizard Hat of course. :)
I kinda think Magic Is a Monster Magnet should be a particular feature of Dove's character page, given Edgar.
I'm not sure Wake's hat is a wizard hat- the only one we get described is flat and octogonal.

It's not just Zora's Kind Lake that shows the R Ro D, though, does it? That's sorta the premise of The Line: Unlike most Foci, a Battle Standard will take everything from a user, even sacrificing his life, to achieve the ends of securing the Commonweal from its enemies. At the end of A Mist of Grit and Splinters, the lead piper for Second Battalion does this, revealing when the battle ends that he's been playing the marching tune for Shape only knows how long using sheer willpower to stay alive: "The Piper finishes a last round. The pipes go to the signaller. The Piper's flesh falls to ash."

Why isn't "Animorphism" linkifying? Or "Badass"?
Are single-word trope references just broken?
NB: Fixed. One-word topic links aren't picked up automatically; the way to linkify them is by wrapping the word in double curly braces.
