Surely he couldn't win but when he somehow wields the beast's own hammer he finally kills it!]] God damn it's hard to top that!

** And that's all ''before'' Paul [[spoiler:becomes the first person to ''survive'' the Summer Tree, which gives him the power of a god.]]
** Paul gets another at the end of book one, when he stands up against Aileron's egotistical rant about this being "his war." Especially when you remember Aileron was willing to kill his own brother moments ago.
** Two more for Paul in ''The Darkest Road'': first when he [[spoiler:convinces the ghost of the world's first mage to give them a lift on a spectral ship]], and second when he [[spoiler:spares Galladan and forces him to repent, then immediately afterwards summons the sea to carry Arthur, Jennifer, and Lancelot to Avalon.]] It's no wonder Jaelle fell for him after those performances.
* For a person who never considered herself especially good at anything, Kimberly Ford succeeds where it counts. Her finest hour comes when she [[spoiler:refuses to allow the Baelrath to summon the crystal dragon of Calor Diman to war, knowing that pulling the dragon away would effectively mean the end of the Dwarves as a culture.]] She accepts the true responsibility of the Seer by understanding that some prices are too high to pay, even in the name of the Light.
* Dave Martyniuk helps kill an urgach, one of the most fearsome beasts in the army of Rakoth, on his ''first night'' in Fionavar -- a place he didn't even want to go at first.
* Kevin Laine spends much of his time in Fionavar feeling useless, as he seems to be the only one of his friends to not get a fantasy glow-up. The only thing he's exceptional at is making love. However, on a midsummer celebration where everyone is encouraged (and even magically compelled) to have one-night stands in honor of the goddess Danna, who does Kevin seduce? [[spoiler:The goddess herself. Their coupling is powerful enough to overcome an enchanted winter. Yes, Kevin dies in the process, but he dies just after having the greatest sex anybody has ever had, in any universe.]]
* Jennifer mocking Rakoth Maugrim ''to his face,'' [[spoiler:even after he has raped her repeatedly while taking the forms of the men she loves most.]]
