Another theme I just realized that Mashima might go by is the "destruction of power". When I say this I mean the governing force of that world. For RM its the Empire, and for FT it will be the Magic Council. Though this hasn't happened yet in FT, it most likely will, especially with ch 355 saying "something will occur that will shake up the magic world". It may not happen, but in truth the Council sucks and are dicks to FT, except for that one council member, Lanar, and Doronbolt so I feel that it would be nice to the story, indicating that the "War of Darkness" (in my words, not Hiros) has officially begun.
