Spellbound features the Oracles, explicitly gay men who serve as supportive, secondary characters. While their presence offers positive LGBTQ+ visibility, their portrayal leans into a 'gay uncles' trope, providing comic relief without deep exploration of queer themes. Their characterization is somewhat stereotypical and limited to their allied function, resulting in a largely incidental depiction.

The film features Ellian, the protagonist, who participates in the climactic battle. She uses a combination of physical combat skills and magical powers to defeat male soldiers and adversaries, ultimately achieving victory.

The film's narrative themes of perseverance, familial love, and grace are noted to resonate strongly with core Christian values, aligning the story's virtues with aspects of the faith.
