* ClapYourHandsIfYouBelieve: The afterlife has a mild property to this effect. The actions and emotions of its denizens influence the world around it, usually to a fairly minor but noticeable degree. Elsa Maria's tower, for instance, only exists because Elsa Maria needed a place to pray in solitude, and it crumbles when she's gone. Etherdale, which is infected by wild witches, looks almost like a witches' labyrinth.
