!!This fanfic contains examples of the following:
* BehemothBattle: During the battle against the Endbringer Behemoth, Annette manages to summon Franchise/{{Godzilla}}. Thankfully, everyone at the battle knew not to get in the kaiju's way.
* BiggerOnTheInside: Annette pulling the wiki article on Urban Beach transformed a building to have multiple beaches based on real world ones, complete with an entire sea, inside it. It was a while though before the transformed building was visited in the story's BeachEpisode.
* {{Karma}}: Not only is this Taylor's Cape Name, but she later got the power to inflict LaserSightedKarma of those around her, based on her morals. Villians, naturally, will suffer misfortune, while good people on hard times will become very lucky.
* InfiniteAmmo: One of Annette's summons was a Vektor R4 assault rifle that doesn't run out of ammo.
* PowerupLetDown: Due to the randomness, Annette doesn't get anything useful from her summons.
* RealityWarping: Buildings can be altered or [[RidiculouslyFastConstruction instantly built]] via Annette's summons, with existing buildings either moved or replaced.
* RobotMaster: Annette getting the Wiki article on the ''Franchise/MeganMan'' series gifted several people with the ability to create anything from all the games. This of course includes the assorted robots from the series.
* RPGMechanicsVerse: When Annette gets the article of Dungeon Crawling, an underground dungeon with over a thousand floors is placed in Brockton Bay, and runs on RPG logic. Anyone who goes there can actually engage in LevelGrinding.
* RuleOfThree: After getting the "Tree of primitive Pythagorean triples" article, Annette can end up with a summon that has the combined elements of three articles whenever the author rolls a 3.
* SummonMagic: Annette has brought RealLife {{historical|DomainCharacter}} figures or characters from fiction. Some the notable ones are:
** Historical / RealLife
*** Emily Bovell- a VictorianEra physician. The dice roll gave her HealingHands, and she has become Amy Dallon's mentor once the latter triggered.
*** Bradie James - a former UsefulNotes/NationalFootballLeague player. The dice roll get him a level of SuperStrength, and as well as the ability to [[CureForCancer heal cancer victims]], based on how the real one had a cancer charity.
*** Clarence Birdseye - The inventor and entrepreneur who started the frozen food industry. The dice roll made in a full fledged tinker, although focused on [[AnIcePerson his specialty of freezing things]].
** Fictional
*** [[VideoGame/SpaceChannel5 Ulala]]
*** [[Literature/{{Discworld}} Nanny Ogg]]
*** [[ComicBook/MarvelUniverse Magneto]]
*** [[Franchise/DoctorWho The Fourth Doctor]]
*** [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic The Mane Six]]
* SuperEmpowering: Annette's summons can result in giving powers to herself and/or to anyone around her. In the case of summoning living beings, rolling at least a 20 means that being has some sort of superpower.
* TimedPowerUp: Rolling 1 to 10 means the summon only exists that many hours in the world.
* WikiWalk: Annette's power is a weaponized and randomized version of this: the author hits the Wikipedia "Random Article" button a number of times and each article is associated with a d30 dice roll that determines how permanent the article's subject is and how powerful the summon is.
