* FantasticRacism: Ren hates orcs with a passion, and doesn't care for gnolls as well. Justified due to being a ranger in a D&D novel, as rangers then had a "favored enemy" which they preferred to fight over any other enemy.

** Wishes in early D&D could only add a point to someone's stats, but in the novel a wish granted Shal a big boost in strength and, presumable, constitution that in D&D terms would be 6-8 point gain at least.
** Ren was said to be a ranger, then a thief, and finally a ranger again. In D&D at the time once he became dual class (he turned from ranger to thief), while he might still have his ranger skills he would never again be able to advance as a ranger.

* CoolHorse: Cerulean, Shal's inherited horse familiar is intelligent, telepathic, and something of a DeadpanSnarker. He also somewhat obviously puts the lie to the notion that familiars should only be small creatures that their ''masters'' carry around with them rather than vice versa, although she can still put him into her (suitably enchanted) pocket if need be.
* FighterMageThief: Shal is definitely the Mage. Althro a cleric, Tarl starts off as more of a fighter compared to Ren who, before he decided to go back to his ranger ways, played the role of a thief.
* KnightKnaveAndSquire: Tarl is an idealistic young cleric, Ren is an experienced thief, and Shal is an apprentice wizard who just lost her mentor.
* MaleGaze: The female tailoress has to remind Tarl to stop looking at Shal while the young mage has to get new clothes made for her.
* MeaningfulRename: Shal decides to rename Cerulean to Mulberry as she is now the horse's mistress and is now a purple color representing Shal as opposed to his former master's preferred color of blue.
* ThreeWishes: Shal was given a ring with three wishes. She accidentally uses the first two in her debut chapter, somewhat [[WastefulWishing wastefully]].
* TwoGuysAndAGirl: Shal is the one girl of the trio, and both Ren and Tarl are attracted to her.
