** Talyn likes one of Leekath's fathers, but the other is ''extremely'' strict and rude -- and has convinced Leekath that his own contributions to the household are the only reason the other father can afford to be kind. The first time he meets Talyn, he proceeds to insult both Talyn and Leekath without provocation, treating Leekath like a cripple due to her magical gift and loudly supposing that Talyn won't be able to give her the support she needs in her "illness" and will just use her and walk away; he is then offended by Talyn interrupting and objecting.

* ReadingsAreOffTheScale: A young vampire learning a spell to check channelling capacity assumes he miscast when [[spoiler:trying it on Talyn -- who has taken ''hundreds of thousands'' of units of unwanted channelling capacity from the people of Ryganaav. For reference, the student has capacity 502 and that is considered quite high.]]

* {{Irony}}: Talyn is annoyed by the fact that vi'Yan Rylaatin hears voices as a result of being "scrambled as eggs" insane, and rules a nation, with everyone including himself believing that the gods are speaking to him, whereas Leekath hears voices that offer real information about objects around her, but is considered by her people to be mentally ill.

Dragons are an occasional delicacy. [[spoiler:Talyn, after skimming thousands of years of lifespan from the people of Ryganaav, is even better, almost overwhelming Leekath with pleasure.]]

* IChooseToSTay: Long before any solution is found to send Rhysel back, she's built enough of a life for herself that she decides she wouldn't want to move back to Barashi full time -- especially since she's not close to her family and has found a boyfriend. [[spoiler:Tekaal eventually finds a spell that would reset her "native" world to Elcenia, which simultaneously opens the way for her to more easily visit Barashi, but signifies the shift in where she considers home.]]

* ExplosiveResults: Rhysel's reading shows that the main failure mode for the working to give someone kamai ability is an explosion. So, before starting, she sets up ward gemstones in a careful geometric pattern to put a shield around her crucible.
--> She cradled the crucible in the palm of one hand, and began funneling air through the other, passing it through a wall of power to clear it of impurities and infuse it with the ability to pass on kamai to someone born without it.\\
The crucible exploded.

When Rhysel admonishes him that this is forbidden kamai, he notes that technically, it's only ''killing'' people by turning them to stone that's forbidden, and this person is still alive. She's not super pleased with this leaning on technicalities, but lets it slide because she can't think of anything that'd work better in this context.

* MagicalGesture: Elcenian wizardry uses gestures to channel specific amounts of power; every spell that uses the same amount of magic uses the same gesture. Leekath explains in ''Blood'' [[spoiler:when Talyn gives her an unprecedented channeling capacity of ''a thousand'']] that power-pull gestures are an inherent fact of the universe, and mostly systematic with exceptions called "Voyan numbers" -- gestures up to 599 are at this point theoretically known about but have never been tested for Voyan numbers, and nobody yet knows how to cast at levels of 600 or more.
