** "Like the Movies" allows Demons to cause contrived coincidences you typically see in movies and other fictions to happen for real around them. This is kinda funny in itself, but what ''really'' makes it hilarious is that it's one of the few Embeds that can cause the God-Machine to locate you if you use it too much... suggesting as an AlternativeCharacterInterpretation that [[NerdInEvilsHelmet this all-powerful entity apparently has enough time on its hands to watch human media and notice when their tropes are applied to reality]].

* Exploits can get in on the fun too, of course:
** "Murder By Improbability", as the name suggests, guarantees the target dies ''somehow'' within the next scene (usually about half an hour), if they aren't touched by the supernatural or extraordinary fate.
--> The unfortunate victim might be struck by a falling chunk of blue ice, trip and fall off a platform in front of a train, or [[RubeGoldbergHatesYourGuts stumble through a Rube Goldberg-esque configuration of accidents that leaves him lying on a sidewalk with scissors between his ribs.]]
** "Play On Words" might as well be called "Weaponized Puns". One of the examples is someone who expresses the right to "bear" arms; said victim can have his sleeves removed ("bare" arms), or have his hands grow claws and fur (''"bear"'' arms).
** An Exploit that allows the Unchained to mess with Newtonian physics is called "Newton's Nightmares".

** "Devil's Advocate" grants the ability to cause someone to automatically disagree with the last thing that was stated, even if he usually would agree. The most obvious of this power would be to ruin a negotiation or cause your opponents to fight each other, but the book shows how versatile it can be in the hands of a master of reverse psychology, by suggesting a situation where a demon [[MundaneUtility uses it to get rid of a cop who arrested him in traffic]] by acknowledging he deserves a ticket, then forcing the cop to disagree.
