(Mind you, it was a million-dollar account.)

** Often, only the mage who originally cast a spell can reverse it (this was the HandWave given to explain why Sam didn't simply make whatever weird object or person Endora, Uncle Arthur, or Aunt Clara had summoned disappear). Furthermore, the witch or warlock in question had to use an incredibly specific counterspell, or it wouldn't work.

** Often, only the mage who originally cast a spell can reverse it (this was the HandWave given to explain why Sam didn't simply make whatever weird object or person Endora, Uncle Arthur, or Aunt Clara Clara, or Tabitha had summoned disappear). Furthermore, the witch or warlock in question had to use an incredibly specific counterspell, or it wouldn't work. When Uncle Arthur was pranked into believing he had taught Darrin how to turn Endora into a parrot, he panicked because only Darrin then could reverse the spell and he could not imagine any way he could teach Darrin how to do so, in effect leaving Endora a parrot forever.
** Samantha initially told a frog-transformed-into-a-man that she couldn't reverse another witch's spell, but then she found out that he had purchased the spell and states that spells done purely for money or similar compensation ''could'' be undone by any other witch.

** In "Samantha's Good News", Endora seethes when Maurice brings home his much younger and attractive assistant, turning her into an ugly old woman and threatening to get an "endoplasmic interlocutory" (divorce). Samantha tries to mend this by bringing back an old rival of Maurice's (who also happens to be a Shakespeare fan) and make it appear like he and Endora are having a fling.

Added DiffLines:
** In general, witches and warlocks seem to have relatively little emotional self-control, and throughout the series they have expressed astonishment at Samantha's patience and serenity in the face of mortal annoyances and inconveniences they find traumatic those few times they have lost their powers and had to live "the mortal way". Endora states in several episodes that she offended by the fact that Samantha can be so calm about minor mortal annoyances and once states that she thought she raised Samantha to be unwilling to put up with such things.
Added DiffLines:
** Many magic mishaps come from accidental puns or word confusion in such incantations, causing Bonaparte to appear when trying to summon a napoleon pastry and Julius Ceasar to appear when trying to summon the salad.

* ObnoxiousInLaws: It's probably easier to count the number of episodes in which a relative of Samantha, not liking that she's married to a mortal, casts a spell to make Darrin's life hell (even Aunt Clara, meaning well but scatter-brained, [[HanlonsRazor was not exempt from this]]).

Interestingly, Darrin's mother Phyllis Stephens is often far more obnoxious an in-law than any of Samantha's relatives : Endora tries several times to help out Darrin only to be rejected, as do Uncle Arthur and Serena, but Phyllis never once tries to help out Samantha except as a condescending attempt to force her to conform to Phyllis' preferences, and whereas Endora and Maurice reluctantly acknowledge Darrin as Tabitha's father, Phyllis accuses Samantha of being "selfish" about refusing to let Phyllis take control of Tabitha's upbringing (and ends up turned into a cat by Serena for insulting Samantha as a mother).

** There is a marvelous scene in which Darrin tries to persuade Doctor Bombay to market some of his miracle cures to mortals -- not to help out humanity but as a way for the Doctor to gain wealth and material luxuries. Doctor Bombay just stares at Darrin blankly and asks him what he (a witch with godlike powers) would need or want with such things. Darrin misinterprets this entirely as a statement of noble self-sacrifice.

* IfItsYouItsOkay: Despite their constant criticism of mortals, Endora and Maurice frequently mention (or name-drop) friendships with current and past mortal kings, queens, prime ministers, presidents, great artists, and religious/philosophical leaders. Both of them seem to see any mortal with a drive towards greatness and a willingness to rise above the rest of the world as honorary witches even as they rail against the pettiness of most mortals. Both Endora and Maurice have stated a willingness to accept Darrin if he were a more wealthy or powerful person in those episodes in which one or the other uses magic to bring Darrin fiscal riches or enchants his personality to make him more worldly ambitious and financially successful.

** In the episode "Man's Best Friend", Rodney, an obnoxious young warlock Samantha used to babysit, pops in expecting Sam to run away with him. When she refuses, he returns in the form of a dog to endear himself to an unknowing Darrin while intentionally invoking Sam's wrath to drive a wedge between them. Then, he orchestrates talk of Sam having an affair with him getting back to Darrin to prove he doesn't trust her. When Sam confesses that her alleged affair was with the dog leads to her and Darrin having a fight, Rodney drops the ruse, thinking he's been proven right. Unfortunately for Rodney, Darrin believed Sam from the start, he just wanted to handle the situation without Sam having to break her record for days without using magic.
