* FantasticNuke: Willfully activated spacequakes are still this, but from the Blood Maidens' side of things, we have the spell known as Mortal Force: a mass of energy comprised of several elemental attributes at once that is stated to have similar energy frequencies ''to'' a spacequake. Sure enough, its damage output - likely due to the incorporation of Reiryoku - is akin to small spacequakes, and can hypothetically reach the level of larger ones with enough energy put into it. Thumbelina, Hameln, Otsuu, ''and'' Little Mermaid all have access to this overpowered spell, with Snow White and Gretel having a weaker version called Disaster Rune that ''still'' deals immense damage, even if on a much smaller scale.
* PowerIncontinence: The Blood Maidens have to take some time to get used to their Reiryoku-boosted abilities. Especially Thumbelina, who quickly finds that what was meant to be a simple fire spell became a borderline ''inferno'' due to the introduction of Reiryoku.

* SuperMode: The Blood Maidens have their Massacre Mode, in which their hair turns white, their eyes glow pink with white slits for pupils, and they gain some sort of accessories made of pink energy. It makes them somewhat more aggressive (the extent is on an individual basis), while also amplifying their physical ''and'' magical capabilities. While originally, it required Marchen blood to activate, they learn to harness the Reiryoku now within them to use it at will, similarly to a partial Astral Dress.

''Date A Skelter'' is a crossover between ''Literature/DateALive'' and ''VideoGame/MarySkelter''.
During the final events of ''Mary Skelter Finale'', rather than a world without suffering or simply "nothing", a desperate Jack wishes for him and his comrades to be taken away somewhere else: where Gatou's plan to ColonyDrop the moon onto the planet won't touch anyone. This ends up with them being taken into the world of ''Date A Live'' with a spacequake, around the events of Yoshino's arc, and shenanigans ensue.

This is quickly explained as - courtesy of the spacequake that brought them there - them drawing ambient Reiryoku from their surroundings, thus drastically amplifying their capabilities and overlapping with TookALevelInBadass.
