* TechnologyErasureEvent: While for the most part the rule set tries to be setting-less, what little setting is discussed talks about a SpaceOpera galaxy that was disrupted by an apocalyptic event named the Scream, which destroyed most of the super-technology (including faster-than-light travel) and spontaneously killed a large number of the people who were connected to the space magic of the time. By the time of the setting's current day, the galaxy has gone back to being a PointsOfLightSetting.

* ClarkesThirdLaw: [[ImportedAlienPhlebotinum Super-advanced alien gadgets]] and [[LostTechnology Terran Mandate-era technology]] take the place of magical AncientArtifacts. Truly ancient alien technology practically ''is'' magical, often defying the laws of physics and reality. Handle with care.

* WarfareRegression: Quantum ECM and Nuke Snuffers make the drone- and missile-based warfare of late [=TL3=] impractical for [=TL4=] civilizations, so you get a return to poor bloody infantry, tanks, and dumb artillery. Though on the plus side, whoever came up with ground-based quantum ECM decided that HumongousMecha were the ideal platform for deploying it in the field.

* WizardsFromOuterSpace: Another one of the revised edition's major additions is an optional subsystem for using true magic (as opposed to PsychicPowers), with three classes with such ability. The Arcanist uses VancianMagic with a broad focus, the Adept takes a PowersAsPrograms approach, and the Magister mixes elements of both. Interestingly, the book provides few actual spells, and instead suggests importing spells from other games [[ShoutOut like]] ''Labyrinth Lord'' or ''TabletopGame/LamentationsOfTheFlamePrincess''.
