A good selection. I like the hidden magical power triggered by the extreme circumstance trope. Used a lot, often obvious that it is going to happen, but done right it gives me the inner ecstasy, the reason I read fantasy.
Not neccessarily a trope, but I love twists on prophecies. It always makes me excited, and I also try to explore it (and various other themes) in the story I'm writing. On an other note, I really dislike the villian or villanous characters having some form of mental health issues as a justification for their actions.
Totally agree with you! Both are great points. I also really dislike the "bad guy" being only that way because of mental health issues as well. It always feels shallow and cheap.
Thank you for your video! Please, answer, do you know where I could ssearch a list of more tropes? Does anyone try to collect them at all (or ass much as posible) in one place?

Oh, that is a great one! It also gives a "punishment" to the magic, making it seem earned.
The broken prophecy trope is always enjoyable.
Agreed!

I think one of the underrated ones is the crisis of belief/faith! Great list!

TVTropes.com is a good resource. It’s like a wiki for all tropes and prices of media.
