  • Justified: A Wizard Did It.
  • Inverted: A magic spell has the result of playing music.
  • Subverted: Bob, a magician, is in hiding casting Functional Magic from behind Alice.
  • Double Subverted: But Alice later makes Magic Music on her own.
  • Parodied: The song being sung is "Yankee Doodle"
  • Zig Zagged: It's unsure as to whether or not Alice can cast spells with music.
  • Averted: Alice's voice has no magic powers.
  • Enforced: "We're gonna give Alice some powers, but we don't want her to just be a generic mage. How can we make her more interesting?"
