** Emma later gave Taylor a taste of this trope. Taylor, due to being much taller than Emma, escaped simply by standing up.

** It's worth noting that this is due to standard Tinkertech operating in ways that are scientifically impossible due to operating on black box components. Once Taylor fully awakens her Industry domain, she's supposed to be able to rebuild Tinkertech without said black boxes.

* ClapYourHandsIfYouBelieve: The ways a specific domain manifests in a god depends on both their own perceptions and perceived limitations, and those of others. For example, one of Inari's earliest domains was Foxes, and since Japan views foxes as tricksters, she gained shapeshifting abilities, but with Taylor, what can be presumed to be the popularity of anime and manga, and the usual portrayal of kitsune in said anime, causes her to have, apparently permanently, [[LittleBitBeastly fox ears and nine tails]].



** [[spoiler:Victoria gets ears and a single tail from a power interaction between Amy and Taylor]].



* NighInvulnerability: Taylor is launched two blocks by a tinker tech canon into the side of a car. The car comes out worse for wear than she does.

Added DiffLines:

* LoyalPhlebotinum: A [[ProngsOfPoseidon trident]] washes up in a dead {{Megalodon}} by the docks, and anyone who tries to touch it gets shocked. Given that it reacts to Taylor when she gets close to it, and the fox symbols on it, it's presumably trying to keep others from using it.

Added DiffLines:

* ProngsOfPoseidon: A dead {{Megalodon}} washes up on the shore by the Docks with one of these, apparently made for Taylor by the Cyclopes if the symbols on it are any indication, shocking anyone who tries to grab it.


Added DiffLines:

* ScienceCannotComprehendPhlebotinum: Or at least, ''super''-science can't. Tinker-tech scanners, if they don't immediately break upon trying to scan Taylor, produce results that they should be physically incapable of making, and don't make sense besides, like copper plates from a machine attempting to analyze Taylor's golden blood. Panacea spacing out when touching her, [[spoiler:as well as Victoria after her transformation]], implies that Thinker powers don't work on her either because the Shards lock up trying to process divinity.


Added DiffLines:

* WalkingTechbane: Taylor, as a result of Inari's gifted Industry domain, has a technology domain. Unfortunately, it doesn't react well with a lot of Tinkertech, scanners in particular tend to stop working when used on her, and while an attempt to analyze her blood doesn't break the machines outright, it produces meaningless results that it should have been physically incapable of producing. Even some non-scanning devices feel "wrong" to her.

* FigureItOutYourself: Somehow, it became the norm that the previous generation of gods would only leave cryptic messages for the next generation, stuff like telling them to "follow their heart" and stuff. Normally this isn't a problem because there's usually a century or two between major threats so they have time to figure this out, but the threat of the Entities is sufficient enough that Inari set things up that she'd be able to advise Taylor instead.
