* CrimeOfSelfDefense: The golgari are furious about Anthony [[spoiler:eradicating the city-sized rock they tried to drop on him, by hitting it with an immense gravity bomb, causing significant collateral damage to their fortress]], and the Silver City uses it to demand stricter compensation arrangements before he's allowed to visit.

* EvolutionaryPressureCooker: Performed in layers. The colony requires monster cores, but demons tend to evolve without developing cores, as the energy required is expended fighting for survival. To solve this, larvae are spawned in cells that only open after a core is detected, so they grow stronger killing one another, then the survivor has time and freedom to build a core. The cell opens to progressively larger containers, repeating the process of forcing the monsters to grow by killing one another and then enhance their cores until the strongest reach the top and are harvested.

* AccidentalBargainingSkills: Cobalt and Smithant unintentionally drive a merchant down to a reasonable price, because when they hear that his initial asking price is well above market value, they turn away in disappointment, not as a negotiating tactic but genuinely intending to go elsewhere. The idea of bickering over prices is entirely foreign to them and sounds like selfishness, but the merchant wants a sale and repeatedly lowers his price until they accept.

* DuelToTheDeath: The Blademasters of the Folk will only draw their swords for serious matters, not for sport or spectacle, so when they duel, it's to the death. As a result, pretenders to the title of Blademaster tend not to last very long.

* BioweaponBeast: Anthony's experiments in core shaping are limited to making adjustments to existing species. Probably the biggest set of changes he has made is the creation of the aphid queen. But the core shaper ants who specialise in those skills are able to go much further, crafting custom pets to take on niche roles that the ants aren't well suited for, like the centi-sludges used to [[spoiler:harass the invading Legionaries, and later the "wuffers" that can absorb and purify the toxic mana of the fifth stratum]].

* AttackAttackAttack: If the monsters of the fifth stratum see someone converting their toxic sludge into something else, they go completely berserk, attacking in a frenzy until they're dead. It's intimidating even to the ants, but strategists like Solant recognise that predictability can be exploited. Anthony uses it as a chance to power-level his pets.
