Line 28:
* [[I Feel Angry]]: Aza, when {{spoiler|the tailor ruins all her new clothing in an attempt to rebel against Ivi, who has appointed Aza her lady-in-waiting and therefore her right-hand woman. Ijori helps out with this quite a bit.}}
* [[I Just Want to Be Loved]]: Ivi's motivation for most of the book. {{spoiler|When King Oscaro falls ill, she tries to seduce Ijori just so that she can have someone else to love her.}}
* [[Instant Plastic Surgery]]: Aza gets it in her head to try and find these in the Ayorthian libraries. She hates how she's tall with pale skin, red lips and black hair; it makes her look ghastly. The first attempt, a singing spell, doesn't go well; it nearly turns her to stone. While her body revives, her big toe remains stone as a reminder of the near-miss. {{spoiler|She figures out that the new Queen Ivi hides these in the flute she never plays, finding a potion for beauty, and drinks a few drops. It makes her beautiful by Ayorthian standards, ''but'' the price is that when she and Ivi die, a spider named Skulni will trap them in a mirror while he travels the world for as long as he likes. He also reveals that he manipulated Ivi into attempting to murder Aza, as well as either get her killed in a civil war or die by suicide so that he can go out and explore the world. Turns out he's destroyed entire countries to have his bit of fun! Even though Aza is mad at Ivi for framing her for treason and blackmailing her, she sings that no one deserves that fate and destroys the mirror while trapped inside of it. The potion reverts them to their normal looks, and Aza admits that beauty is not everything}}.
* [[Karma Houdini]]: Discussed in this story.
** The gnomes let a thief go with a pickaxe. When Aza angrily asks why, the gnomes explained they saw a vision of the future and that any punishment would lead to worse consequences.
