* DefeatingTheUndefeatable: The game will throw a Demon-at-Arms ClimaxBoss at the player at the same time that the Zap spell becomes available. Confronting the Demon-at-Arms before getting the Zap spell will result in a viciously difficult battle, leading the player to likely die and instead go get the Zap spell. [[spoiler:In order to better sell the player's new power, the Demon-at-Arms, when fought with the Zap spell in tow, is secretly much weaker than it is without the spell unlocked.]]

* RapeAsDrama: [[spoiler:Milly's past, which involved her father selling her to Felonia's Gandino crime family, who in turn sold her to the former King of Felonia, who had a whole harem of slave girls used as dancers (and possibly worse things, as there exists a room in the castle that was once his "private pleasure chamber"). Given that Milly is on pins and needles the entire time she is in Felonia (as evidenced by party chat) or whenever Felonia is even ''mentioned'', this trope may well be in play. Even if rape is never mentioned, the implication is still there, and Milly herself refuses to talk about it. The whole thing is not helped by the fact that there's a very good chance Milly was quite young when she was sold as a slave, if the mention of Terry being a very young boy at the time is any indication.]]

The Gadabout's level 4 skill, Puff-Puff, kept its name, though.
