9* ActionGirl: Arguably, all of the women in the final stand.
10%% Administrivia/ZeroContextExample * AnyoneCanDie
11* BearsAreBadNews: Inverted with the totems, and subverted because wolverines are also called devil bears, which compose the Tragg'a partly.
12* CameBackStrong: It's revealed Mal'ek'a has been killed two times before, and came back stronger.
13* CatchPhrase: "Nom de tout!" and "Lord lifting Jesus!" are two of Kieran's favorites
14* DeflectorShield: Created by the House.
15* DuelToTheDeath: Although a bit of a twist on it.
16%% Administrivia/ZeroContextExample * DwindlingParty
17%% Administrivia/ZeroContextExample * GagPenis: Some faeries and manitou.
18%% Administrivia/ZeroContextExample * HeroicSacrifice
19%% Administrivia/ZeroContextExample * LeaveNoWitnesses: Gannon and crew's plan
20* MagicalNativeAmerican: Basically every First Nations person that appears is a shaman of some sort or another.

22%% Administrivia/ZeroContextExample * NoBodyLeftBehind: [[spoiler:Puwadji]]
23* OhLookMoreRooms: Tamson House is a good example. It's a mansion that takes up a city block, but looks like a series of townhouses from the outside. That's without going into how one can reach multiple spirit worlds from within it.
