* BornOfMagic: Mosaics are made by ritually combining the tiles to create new people with all the tiles' abilities combined.
* CompellingVoice: Seemingly one of the more common gifts. Wren uses hers to great advantage, using it to acquire groceries, an apartment with the rent paid, and even a computer and car after she wakes up with nothing.

* BlessedWithSuck: Some magical gifts, like controlling the weather with your emotions, or setting things on fire as you sleep.
**This is especially prominent after [[spoiler: the Trumpet sounds, and all humans suddenly have access to their powers. Australia is covered by a solid diamond shield, half of India straight up disappears, and most of the people in Scandinavia are in a trance they can't be woken from, to name a few effects.]]



* IdentityAbsorption: Mosaics are created by the ritual combination of the gifted tiles, who rarely survive the process simply because of how much is taken from their being to create the new person. When they do survive, like [[spoiler: Wren and Zachary's tiles,]] they've lost so much of themselves and are so traumatized from the process that they'll never be the same again.

* WeirdnessCensor: Several examples:
**Regular people don't seem to be able to see Carson's flesh sculptures, though they do know something is wrong with the area they're in.
**Nor do they see Lexi's "children", for all they can tell something has changed about the areas of the city her sandstorms hit.
**Strange happenings caused by gifteds in general rarely get reported on in newspapers or other media. When they do get reported on, it's something huge that can't be covered up, like when Ayesha creates all the creatures in all the dreams she can sense and causes the destruction of the city. In that case, it's declared some sort of chemical disater.
