* ConvectionSchmonvection: Dragons work near active volcanoes to make dragon steel, which somehow doesn't boil them alive. Possibly justified in that dragons are almost supernaturally durable, and can survive temperatures far above boiling.

* [[TheLastOfHisKind The Last Of Its Kind]]: The flower known as Ebony's tears once bloomed all along the shores of the Inland Sea before it was destroyed by Civet. The dragons of the Inland Sea have preserved one last flower in the hopes of being able to replant them if the sea is ever restored.

* SuperNotDrowningSkills: Shimmer, being a dragon, can breathe and move underwater as easily as she can in air or on land. Humans visiting the dragon kingdom, however, need an enchanted pearl to allow them to breathe and talk while under the sea. It also keeps them warm and prevents the crushing pressure at the bottom of the ocean from killing them.

* MagicMirror: A special hand mirror in King Sambar's treasury is the only thing that can differentiate the real treasures from the countless doppelgangers (see Needle in a Stack of Needles below). Though it only does so if the user activates the spell by saying the words engraved on its back: "Do not deceive."

* NeedleInAStackOfNeedles: Near the end of the book, the heroes break into King Sambar’s treasury to retrieve Monkey’s staff and the magic cauldron they came for, but find that ''everything'' is hidden among countless perfect replicas; the only way to identify the real from the fakes is with the guards' MagicMirror, which only reflects the real one.
