Dingo tends to bring up important stuff just before it gets important in the story, so they don't tend to stay this trope for long. My Nayme Is: Quinn-Ora's named is spelled... Like that, instead of something reasonable like Kinora, Cinora or Qinora. Rescued from the Underworld: Episode 6 revolves around Gothi and Sips freeing Sneeze's soul from the crystal it had been imprisoned in.

Do with Him as You Will: Erina attempts this with Bouclaire's corpse by giving it to the townsfolk in episode 16. It mostly just freaks the townsfolk out. Cerebus Syndrome: Episode 1 is a lighthearted retelling of how Dingo's character, Sips, accidentially released a tarrasque through wild magic shenanigans. By episode 20, there's talk about genocide, tyranny, the nature of empathy, and several other topics that's decidedly not played for laughs. Adopted into Royalty: Bouclaire. Unfortunately, she's both a Royal Brat and a Self-Made Orphan. She also had older, adopted siblings, who "voluntarily" refused the throne. The above spoiler is given more context in Episode 18; Xanu, the being described, was an artificial god created when the Foreclaimers yanked the missing second sun out of the sky and siphoned its magical power into his creation. However, they did not do this to worship him, but to ceaselessly experiment on him to test his limits and use his mastery over souls to create their technological marvels. Eventually Xanu snapped, condemned all the Foreclaimers to death, and used his mastery over souls to set all of the Foreclaimers' soul-powered automata against them to wipe them out. However, he missed a sizable portion of their populace who fled to the other side of a massive portal, which closed on Xanu when he tried to follow them through and shattered the crystal that is the focal point of his consciousness and power. Pieces of him have been passed around through the ages, and now enough of them are coming together that he can manifest his consciousness in Sips's body, who holds the largest piece, to finish his genocide of the Foreclaimers. Brought Down to Normal: Two instances of this in Episode 32. First is Erina, who gives up her magical girl powers to complete Xanu's crystal and materialize his new vessel, and then Xanu himself, having lost access to his powers after gaining his new body.Sips has a moment of this when he sobers up after his apocalyptic karaoke session. Gothi has an exaggerated version when she has a Foreclaimer crystal inserted into her abdomen, asking Sips about what she did for the 'several years' her crystal was missing.

Quinn-Ora, the villain of the first five episodes of Fools' Gold. She awakened Sips by replacing his hand with a crocodile arm, which is slowly cursing Sips, and treats the act like it was barely worth remembering.In Episode 15 we finally learn the secret of Sips's magic that Quinn-Ora talked about, the source of the calm voice that talked to him, and how it all ties into the plot. Embedded in his head is a shattered crystal that belonged to the being who destroyed the Foreclaimer civilization, its other fragments being used by the "magic girl" characters. That is the source of his magic and also where the spirit of the destroyer still lingers. Also in the same episode, we learn that Gothi was present during the destruction and wears a mask because someone close to her carved out her face. Precursors: The Fool's Gold campaign has some, known as the Foreclaimers. The party has been hired to search for their artifacts. Some are actually still around, unless Gothi is an isolated case.
