Adaptational Early Appearance: Because of the anime's first half consisting of original content, characters like Yvette, Caules and Melvin are all introduced to the audience before the Rail Zeppelin arc, where they had all debuted in the novels.Kairi later recruits Flat and Svin for an assignment like Luvia, they didn't feature during this arc in the novels. Luvia didn't appear during this arc in the novels, and Kairi didn't appear in the novels at all. The Rail Zeppelin adaptation itself introduces a subplot with Kairi and Luvia investigating who stole Iskandar's mantle at Reines' behest.The first half of the anime after episode 1 is original material set between volumes 3 and 4, which establishes relevant points from the skipped-over volumes 1-3 and sets the stage for the Rail Zeppelin arc in the second half.
The anime shuffles several events around and omits Svin's backstory, so it's instead presented as a validation of Waver's teaching style.
Adaptational Context Change: In the novel, Svin graduating to the rank of Pride was the culmination of his personal struggles with Beast Magecraft after fear of losing his sense of self due to the traumatic process of acquiring it.Mary was willing to let her father die to gain freedom and Wills' father forced mystical eyes on his son to use as a tool for his workshop. Abusive Parents: Waver states in episode 2 that usually children of mages are seen more as possessions of their parents than people, and we see examples of this throughout the show.
