* IgnoredEpiphany: It's basically one of Bruno's recurring traits, but during the "Seven Sins" arc, it becomes especially notable when dealing with the "Lust" obstacle, which takes the shape of illusions of Rothlands most desirable pornographic actresses. When Bruno almost succumbs to temptation, he's reminded of a lecture his mother once gave him about what he'd feel like if his own daughter ever went into porn. Realizing he now ''has'' a daughter, Bruno is horrifed at Dolores ever defiling herself that way, and makes him realizes that all these women he's been objectifying for so long are just like his own daughter, which allows him to pass... at which point, he expels the "pearl of wisdom" (a physical, magical manifestation of a characters growth) from his ear and concludes that it's fine if women act in porn as long as they're not related to him.

* EasilyForgiven: Invoked during the "Clone of Ailix" storyarc, one of the villains who admits to having committed horrible deeds in Ailix name is forgiven by an apparition of Ailix himself, because a) she's genuinely repentent, having acted in what she thought was best for the church and realizes she was wrong, and b) she wants to try and make up for some of the evil she had committed in return, even if forgiveness isn't dependant on it. Ailix tells her to go to seek out Carlin in the Monster Mountains, as he'll be needing assistance in the coming days (as a result of the events of the "Seven Sins" arc).
** Nosferatnix is absolutely disgusted with his protege Cumbakh's plot to offer fame vampirism to ''anyone'' through his reality tv concept, since as bad as Nosferatnix is, he still believes that if nothing else, a fame vampire needs to have TALENT, and not just be some random jackass willing to do anything for a few minutes of screentime.
