* ContrivedCoincidence: The entire feud between Magica and Scrooge began because Magica accidentally took Scrooge's Number One Dime instead one of the countless other dimes on his desk. She didn't even know of the Number One's existence until Scrooge tried to correct the mistake.



* SpottingTheThread: Scrooge and Donald try to ambush Magica by disguising themselves as sheep and lying in wait. Magica, however, gets suspicious that a pair of sheep ended up so far up the pass and Foof-Bombs them.

Scrooge [=McDuck=] is polishing his dimes when he visited by the sorceress Magica De Spell. Magica wishes to buy one of his dimes for a dollar, explaining her plans to craft a magical amulet that will give her the Midas Touch by melting the together coins touched by the world's richest men. Unbelieving in her claims of magic, but amused nonetheless, Scrooge makes the deal. After Magica leaves, Scrooge realizes that she took his Number One Dime by mistake, and chases her down to correct the mix-up. However, Magica decides that the very ''first'' coin of the world's richest duck must be loaded with power, and refuses to give it up. Now Scrooge and his nephews WesternAnimation/DonaldDuck, Huey, Dewey and Louie must track down the witch before she can melt his dime in the fires of Mt. Vesuvius!

* MidasTouch: Gaining this is Magica's goal, which eventually turned into an outright obsession in future stories. Though unlike the TropeNamer, King Midas himself, Magica's power would come from an amulet that she could take off whenever she didn't want to turn everything she touched into gold.
