* King Verence I earns one at the beginning by virtue of being one of the very few ghosts in the castle who can maintain full autonomy, with most simply going about mindlessly wailing. As he's informed, this is because he was so active in life that he has an improbably strong morphic field. Put another way, he was rendered effectively immortal by virtue of ''excessive hedonism''.
--> "I estimate you were one hundred percent alive...when you were alive."

Grammar. "she found spell" -> "she found that spell"


* Magrat's reaction to rumors about witches. “Witches aren’t like that. We live in harmony with the great cycles of Nature, and do no harm to anyone, and it’s wicked of them to say we don’t. We ought to fill their bones with hot lead.” Then she admits to Nanny and Granny that she found spell some time ago and was waiting for chance to use it.

** She doesn't just blow it off, she revives it and turns it into tree. Tree that is stated to be centuries old, filled with iron nails and faced axes and fire what not over years. And Magrat turns it back in giant tree, when all she wanted to do was to remind door of life so that it would open. Later Granny Weatherwax admits that she thinks she herself couldn't do it, and Granny and Nanny's comments imply that working with wood is something only few witches could do.

* The Fool stepping up to be King has to count as one. This man was so put-upon by everyone from his family to the Guild to the Duke and Duchess that he walked stooped over and wasn't even brave enough to ''talk to Magrat'' at the beginning of the book, but at the end Lancre needs a king and he's Tomjon's brother and even if the only thing he knows about being a King is that it has to be better than being a Fool, he's going to try to do it right. Then he goes to see Magrat and tells a sergeant he'd inherited from the Duke (who was something of a PsychoForHire, or at least Pyro For Hire) to stop telling him to burn things, to stop interfering in his business, and to ''go to Ankh-Morpork'' on a "special mission."

* Surprisingly, the Duke manages to pull one while in the face of Granny Weatherwax. She had suspected that he was a weakling beneath a guise of strength, but was completely unprepared for him being so insane that it had refined what little sanity he had left into, "ice in the heart of a blazing furnace," sanity so cold and hardened that it came full circle and became a terrifying and powerful form of madness.
