* How powerful of a [[{{Retconjuration}} forger]] has Shai become since Literature/TheEmperorsSoul? Previously, her most powerful essence mark transformed her into a master martial artist. Now, she is able to rewrite herself into an ''[[PhysicalGod Elantrian]].''

* Wayne's DyingMomentOfAwesome at the climax of the story. The Set-hijacked warship is heading for Elendel, with three harmonium-trellium bombs on board. The crew has locked down the navigation and then killed themselves, so the ship can't be turned aside in the time they've got. The harmonium-trellium bombs can be disarmed by detonating the harmonium with water, but 1) that would still make a big enough explosion to kill whoever does it, and 2) as soon as they detonate one bomb the electronic anti-tamper circuits will set off the other two. Wayne Steelpushes Wax off the boat and to safety, and then uses his newfound ability to burn duralumin plus seventeen bags' worth of bendalloy to make the most powerful speed bubble in history, one so intense that he is moving at very nearly the speed of light and has time to detonate all three bombs before the explosion from the first one kills him or the anti-tamper circuits go off. And Wayne did this fully knowing that he was going to his death.
** This needs to be emphasized. Wayne used so much bendalloy ''he hit the Doppler effect.''
