Some Seraphim can rarely go beyond eight wings to ten, upon which they gain CompleteImmortality. Finally, ''something'' about them freaks out the spirits used in Oracle magic to the point that they're too scared to even acknowledge that they ''exist'', which means that while angels cannot use Oracle magic, it can't be used ''on'' them either.

* PowerTattoo: When Luz makes a connection with one of the glyphs, [[MarkOfTheSupernatural it appears on her skin and her abilities with magic related to that glyph's element gain a significant boost]]. Ancient witches had similar markings, but those were ''actual'' tattoos, while Luz's are by all accounts magically-granted blessings from the Titan himself.

* TimeAbyss: Rasiel was sealed over ''100,000 years'' before the present day of the story.

* WereDragon: Supreme Dragons are reportedly witches and demons that consumed some of the five humours from a Titan, along with the heart of a normal dragon, transforming them to serve that Titan eternally, [[spoiler:which Zara proves after she returns to her witch form after the heroes stop her.]]

* DungeonBypass: At the Knee, Luz, King, and Amity visit the Caplacier Temple and decide to undergo the three trials related to Ice magic within, which are admittedly fairly easy because they were made for initiates. For the one King does, he's so short that he doesn't even have to really try to avoid the spikes, while in the one Luz does she simply flies over.
* EitherOrOffspring: When Biped Demons and witches have children together, the species of the child is determined by which member of the couple is giving birth. Witches with features like Boscha's ThirdEye are the result of them occasionally picking up a demonic feature or two from their other parent.
