* BigBad: The Phantom Blot, also called the Lord of Lies, is the primary villain for a majority of the series' story arcs. Even when another ArcVillain has the spotlight, his shadow still casts over the series.

[[spoiler:The Guardian is actually the Phantom Blot in disguise, trying to get his minions to win the tournament for him so that Mickey is forced to grant him a new body.

* LiteralSplitPersonality: The evil wizard Yen Sid was split in seven ghostlike figures. Six are evil and form the "Guild of Diaphans", working together to rule the world and fuse back into a single being. The seventh is his long-forgotten good side, who lives as a hermit in AnotherDimension and has to be retrieved by the heroes towards the end.

* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: It's easy to forget, but Scrooge is depicted as a sovereign ruler in this series, though we don't see much of his kingdom. Unless the Duck family tree is notably different in this universe, that would make either Donald or his twin sister Della (who hasn't appeared or been mentioned) Heir Presumptive.

Phantom, consisting of Pete and the Beagle Boys, are consistent if very comedic thorns in Team Mickey's side and usually serve the Phantom Blot, though they do split off from him occasionally.

Mickey also tries to be this when he becomes Supreme Sorcerer, but finds out the hard way that being king can be a very draining position, [[spoiler:a fact that the Phantom Blot exploits for his own ends]].

* UnusualChapterNumbers: The relaunched ''Topolino Fuoriserie'' series runs in parallel to that of [[ComicBook/PaperinikNewAdventures]] with an added "V" to the numbering of the former in order to differentiate them (ie, The first ''Paperink'' book was numbered #1, while the first Wizards of Mickey book was #1V). But as ''Paperinik'' proved more popular with more issues dedicated to it, the numbering for ''Wizards of Mickey'' suddenly jumps from 4V to 7V for its 5th book.

* FaceHeelTurn: More like BrainwashedAndCrazy, granted, but this happens to [[spoiler:''Mickey'']], of all people, in ''The Dark Age''. The incredible burden of becoming the Supreme Sorcerer slowly turns him reclusive and paranoid, which the Phantom Blot takes advantage of to turn him against his friends and into a tyrannical king. WordOfGod is that they made him evil [[ForTheLulz for the hell of it]], although [[HeelFaceTurn the process is reversed]] by the end of the series.

* GottaCatchEmAll: [[PowerCrystal The Diamagics]] count as a Type A '''''and''''' a Type B. They're Crucial, but nobody aside from Nereus and the Phantom Blot realizes this until fairly late into the first StoryArc.
* GratuitousEnglish: The Italian version makes liberal use of English words in everything pertaining to the Diamagics and to magic in general -- four instance, any given spell will consist of two made up fantasy words with an English word related to what it does in the middle. The resulting pseudo-English gibberish is intended to sound exotic to Italian-speaking audiences while providing a BilingualBonus to readers who know enough English to get the joke.

* HeelFaceTurn: One aspect of Yensid, embodying his capacity for compassion and kindness, actually abandoned his old mission of world conquest and became a kind mentor for other wizards. This is implied to have happened ''after'' he split from his brothers, since he initially suggested that they might be able to combine their powers to continue their conquest.

* ScienceWizard: Goofy was born to be a wizard — literally, as everyone in his family is fated for a certain job, which in his case is wizardry — and is fairly adept at magic when he needs to be, but he tends to favor science and technology up to building a flying HumongousMecha.

* JackOfAllTrades: Goofy's schtick. He flipflops so much between jobs that he has an incredible skillset. This often works to his detriment, however, as he flipflops so much that he ultimately ends up leaving before truly amounting to anything in any of them. As Donald points out, he could've made it big as an architect by designing Mickey's arena, but by then he had switched to a new obsession.
