GrimGrimoire: Difference between revisions

It tells the tale of a magically-gifted child called Lillet Blan, who gains admission to a renowned [[Wizarding School]] called the Tower of Silver Star. There she meets an eclectic ensemble of students and teachers- the [[The Obi-Wan|mysterious and bearded old headmaster]], the sarcastic and [[Obviously Evil]] Sorcery teacher, and the cold but perceptive honour student, to name a few- and learns about the four schools of Glamour, Necromancy, Sorcery and Alchemy.

 

 

After taking the sensible approach of alerting her teachers, [[Adults Are Useless|only for it to result in spectacular failure]], Lillet realizes that her only chance of averting her fate and escaping the time loop [[It's Up to You|is to do it all herself]]. Along the way, she'll delve into the history of the school and discover dark secrets about practically every member of the facility, including herself.

** {{spoiler|...who then becomes a [[Hot Witch]] in the epilogue.}}

* [[Devil in Plain Sight]]: Done literally with Advocat, subverted in that he's not one of the villains.

** Unless Hell is run by individuals like Advocat; in that case, they'll have a field day at every poor schmuck demon that actually falls for the trick.

* [[Did You Just Scam Cthulhu?]]: {{spoiler|Lillet successfully pulls this off in the end with Grimlet, making contract with him where her request is for him to embrace god, which devils can't do, and since neither of them can change he contract, he gets sent back to hell for breaking it.}}

* [[Dub Name Change]]: Gammel Drask (an alcoholic beverage in keeping with the themed names) became Gammel Dore ([[Harry Potter|which should be obvious]]), and Margarita Frozen became Margarita Surprise.

* [[Elemental Rock-Paper-Scissors]]: Glamour → Necromancy → Sorcery → Alchemy → Glamour. This overlaps with [[Tactical Rock-Paper-Scissors]] somewhat.

* [[Evil Sorcerer]]: Advocat.

* [[Foreshadowing]]: On the fourth Day 1, Advocat, while listing things that a high level demon could do for a contract, he mentions {{spoiler|praying in a church as something they couldn't do}}.

* [[Full-Name Basis]]: Advocat just...''tastes'' Lillet Blan's full name every time he says it.

* [[Older Than They Look]]: Opalnaria. Gets even worse when she changes her appearance to a schoolgirl's to make things more "suitable" for her [[Hot for Student]] role.

* [[Out of Time, Out of Mind]]

* [[Robe and Wizard Hat]]: Mostly Lillet and Gammel.

* [[Schoolgirl Lesbians]]: Apparently {{spoiler|Lillet and Amoretta}}.

'''Lillet:''' Of course I do, [[Airplane!|and don't call me Shirley.]] }}

* [[Smug Snake]]: Advocat, another rare protagonist example. He ''is'' a devil who could be a [[Magnificent Bastard]] if he wanted to, but he knows he has very little to gain personally from the conflict.

** Crossover Example: {{spoiler|Lujei Piche ends up sending the demon Sulfur, villain of [[Phantom Brave]] back to his world despite the sacrifices involved in banishing him, as revealed in her Cameo in ''[[Soul Nomad and The World Eaters]]''.}}

* [[Stable Time Loop]]: {{spoiler|Lillet learns after all her efforts that she will be trapped in the room with the stone like the other, older Lillet unless the stone is destroyed. [[Nightmare Fuel|She also mentions that when she arrived the Lillet she met was an old woman so it's pretty obvious that it's an unbroken cycle.]]}}

* [[The Worf Effect]]: The teachers seem to serve one purpose, to have the unholy crap beaten out of them. Repeatedly.

* [[Worker Unit]]: Elves/ghosts/imps/blobs.

* [[Yandere]]: Lujei, Lujei, Lujei.

* [[You Require More Vespene Gas]]: Mana, harvested from crystals.
