* AlienArtsAreAppreciated: The richness of Earth music wins many fans and even seems to be preferred by ''magic'' itself over the native generic bardic songs. This trope also applies to many Earth imports such as watches, bras and [[CoolShades sunglasses]].
* DarkIsNotEvil: Turns out that many of the Dark deities of Faerun, if given the opportunity to grow beyond their status of two-dimensional game characters, will network and make better choices.
* ForWantOfANail: The memory crystal that is accidentally crushed as the ResetButton in Tabula Rasa, isn't.
