WeaponizedTeleportation: Belial uses his teleporters to kidnap people.
*WhoWantsToLiveForever:
WhenTreesAttack: Witchcraft, especially dark magic, loves this trope. Belial's teleporters are based on tree roots, the Plague Tree is, well, a ''[[CaptainObvious tree]]'', both Belial and Witch Queen use tree branches as CombatTentacles and the Queen herself looks like she's grown on a tree.

TarotTroubles: Axe and Cross uses Tarot cards in place of interrogation, finding out whether the suspect is guilt or if he worked alone. Kaulder points out, though, that the cards can be, and sometimes are, wrong.
* TeleportersAndTransporters: Belial can summon a teleporter which looks like tree roots emerging from any surface, grabbing the teleported and taking them with them by pulling them into the hole they've made for themselves.

MysticalPlague: In movie's mythos, Black Death was/is a plague engineered by the Witch Queen.
