* WillfullyWeak: Merlin appears like this at first glance to most magic users in the very beginning because he's been unknownly restraining his magic due to the [[BanOnMagic persecution on magic]] in his world. Even to those who use ''scinncræfte'' crystals, a magical instrument which can perceive how strong a magic user is, would only be able to detect that he'd barely have enough magic to light a candle.

Even though he's well aware he's in a magical creatures domain, he's still stunned at how huge it is on the inside. The Djinn, meanwhile, is acting like the lamps nothing special and goes as far as to compare it to the [[Series/DoctorWho Tardis]] much to Merlin's utter confusion.

* FishOutOfWater: As much as Merlin ''tries'' to blend in and stay unnoticed... that quickly becomes impossible as time goes on as Merlin doesn't have a clue how society with magic functions and ''it soon becomes blatantly obvious.'' It also does help a bit that Merlin doesn't realize exactly how overpowered he truly is since he never had a good measure for his magic before now.

* DoomedHometown: Magical Camelot is surrounded by a barrier that protects the city and it's said to be the work of ''hundreds'' of sorcerers and mages at Queen Ygraine's command. No one can hope to damage it and you need a talisman in order to get in. Most impressive yet, the badge has to be specially made for each person. In other words, even if a thief steals it hoping to sneak in, it'll still deny him entry way. Merlin himself admitted how useful the barrier was and realized how much easier his job of protecting Arthur would have been if his Camelot also possessed one.

* MuggleBornOfMages: It completely shocks Merlin to discover that Thomas Collin unlike his child and his mother Mary didn't possess a single ounce of magic. Something that puts a really foul taste in Merlin's mouth considering ''that's what he was executed for orginally'' in his own world. No wonder Mary was so upset and mad with grief over her son's death.

* WorldBuilding: A big portion of this story is dedicated to Merlin learning first hand how Camelot would function if magic would be part of it's everyday life. A lot about magic has been forgotten over the years during the purge as can be seen here:
** For one, there are different types of magic users that specialize in certain areas of their respective abilities. Sorcerers are very good at manipulating water, fire, air, earth, lightning, metal, or some other naturally occurring anomaly. Meanwhile, Mages prefer arcane types of magic like mixing potions, healing flesh wounds, scrying for information, and the like. Being called a Warlock, on the other hand, is considered a slur in magical Camelot. The true meaning has been long forgotten but it orginally referred to someone who was born with magic.

* RepressionNeverEndsWell: Due to the BanOnMagic back in his own world, Merlin has developed a bad habit of repressing his magic in order to protect himself. However, in doing so, his magic tends to lash out when he's sick or emotionally compromised since he's not regularly preforming harmless magic tricks to release it on occasion.

''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/6414745/chapters/14685442 A Warlock's Wish]]'' written by ''vividpast'' starts off with Merlin and the roundtable capturing a magical creature.
However, something went wrong and he's transported to a world where Camelot is home to thousands of magic-users. King Uther is nowhere to be found, Arthur is a prince again, and Queen Ygraine sits on the throne.
Merlin plans to get back to his own reality, to his own Camelot. To do that, however, he must have access to information that is inside a shielded castle protected by powerful sorcerers. The only way in is to participate in the Apprentice Exam and be an apprentice to a magic-user included in Camelot's court. Should be easy . . . right?
Conspiracies are afoot and Merlin just knows that, somehow, he is or will be involved. Just his luck.
