* MagicAIsMagicA
* {{Mana}}
* MildlyMilitary

to:

* AnachronismStew
AnachronismStew: The setting is inspired by fantasy rpgs, and the characters use swords, armor, and other medieval-style equipment. Their world, however, has trains, skyscrapers, electric lights, and factories; technology seems to have been developed to about the point of the early 20th century. The characters themselves have early 21st-century attitudes and speech patterns.
* ArmyOfTheDead
DeathIsCheap: Members of Neomage cohorts can resurrect each other when they die.
* DeathIsCheap
MagicAIsMagicA: Magic follows rules. One of the big ones is that female mages can cast spells only on themselves, and male mages can cast spells only on things other than themselves.
* MagicAIsMagicA
{{Mana}}: Called tensia. A mage who runs out of tensia can't cast any more spells until the tensia is built back up with time and rest.
* {{Mana}}
* MildlyMilitary
MildlyMilitary: [[JustifiedTrope Justified]], because the Order deliberately tries to distance itself from the traditional military.
