i feel like elphaba's magic and/or the grimmerie is the whole trend of having superpowers but with a catch
elphaba: please let fiyero live and not feel any pain
grimmerie: yk what else that never feel any pain? SCARECROW! boom ur bf is a scarecrow now
elphaba: wait what
or another case
elphaba: oh please let boq not die even though his heart is already shrunken
grimmerie: yk what else doesn't have a heart? A TIN CAN!!
elphaba: no not again
Fiyero: Would you slap your best friend for a thousand dollars?
Elphaba, not looking up from her book: I would slap you and Galinda for free
Galinda and Fiyero, tearing up: … We’re your best friends?
Elphaba: You know you've made it when you see your picture everywhere you go.
Glinda: Those are wanted posters!
Fiyero: Why did you give Glinda a knife?
Elphaba: "She said she didn't feel safe."
Fiyero: "Now I don't feel safe."
Elphaba: *looks a Glinda running around giggling maniacally with a knife*
*side eyes nervous Fiyero*
*hesitates* "Do...Do you want a knife?"
