* TranquilFury: Eran Thouris has built up a fine head of steam, raging and storming at the golgari with a volume that impresses Isaac but makes him worry she'll literally shake the roof down. Then, however, the golgari bluster about demanding compensation -- and the mood suddenly shifts.
--> She went ice cold, her eyes as hard as diamonds, even her scales seem to tighten around her. The golgari felt it, how could they not? Every brathian had the same response to his demand for payment, every one of them becoming an icy pillar of cold fury.\\
Eran Thouris drew herself up to her full height, almost half that of the imposing warrior before her, but she didn't appear small in the slightest.\\
"You will hear from our lawyers."

* PunctuatedForEmphasis: Since the golgari have made it clear that the trade delegation is not really welcome, Eran announces that they're going to promptly set up, display their wares, and leave, without stopping any longer. The golgari are surprised by the abruptness, but she isn't taking any nonsense, and warns that if they don't fulfil their trade agreements with the brathian conglomerate, then "there. Will. Be. Consequences."

* TooDesperateToBePicky: Most monsters aren't sapient enough to really care about the taste of biomass. Anthony, on the other hand, finds it revolting. But it's the only food source available to monsters (and even once the Colony develops others, only biomass gives points for mutating and improving their bodies), so he chows down anyway.

'''Anthony:''' [Not yet.]* ShockAndAwe: Along with his mighty fists, Tiny the ape gains electrical mana glands, allowing him to channel lightning through his punches, or even shoot lightning bolts as a ranged or area attack. This works especially well once Anthony gains water magic affinity and is able to douse hordes of enemies, making them more conductive. (Tiny finds it less satisfying to roast a roomful of enemies than to punch them, but it's still a fight, so he's content with it.)

* SwissArmySuperpower: At first, Anthony can only use the basic spell forms with his gravity magic, like a simple bolt that weighs down the target, the gravity spear that doesn't directly harm them but pulls other monsters toward them, and the domain that weighs down all hostiles close to him. However, once Anthony gains the gravity magic affinity skill, he unlocks its true potential -- with a single new spell form, the gravity well, which gives him ''total control'' of gravity within its range. He can move things, lift things, crush things, individually or en masse, all with the one spell.

* UnstoppableForceMeetsImmovableObject: Fire Iron is, by its very nature, able to tolerate extreme heat. A properly made suit of it would allow a human to stand in lava unharmed. Working and forging it, therefore, requires ''ludicrously'' powerful furnaces, so hot that they quickly burn themselves out from the strain and need to be replaced. ConvectionShmonvection is ''not'' in effect here; Smithant, observing a pour, can feel her carapace sizzling and has to turn away, despite having Skills and mutations and enchanted equipment specialised for the work.
--> The gigantic furnace weighed over a thousand tons, but under the tremendous forces they subjected it to, it shrieked like a human kettle. The air inside had been superheated to such a degree that regular iron would be reduced to slag in a second. Yet for Fire Iron, it still wasn't enough.
