* LeeroyJenkins: due to once working as part of a team, Blake still falls back on these principles, as he was used to people bailing him out if his rushing into battle got him in trouble. However, now that's first on his own and later part of a group that isn't used to his tactics, he quickly learns he needs to switch up his tactics. Blake is by no means stupid and incapable of planning, but prefers to brute force his way through problems first and ask questions later.

* HumanSacrifice: the Feast in Corpus Christi is one of several of these happening in Sanguine Collective-controlled North America.

Blake and his new friends, of course work to avert this [[spoiler:and succeed, which Nathan-Prime later proudly notes had a ripple effect Blake possibly couldn't have understood at the time, seeing as how failing to do even one of the planned sacrifices means doing any at all would be seen as a grave offense and the Collective are not in serious supernatural debt as a result. Thus, not a single human life was lost when over a thousand would have been lost had the Feasts gone off on schedule.]]

** While meeting up with Nathan-Prime in his dream, Blake conjures up an image of Baker Street and imagines a scenario involving Literature/SherlockHolmes. In that same dream Nathan mentions [[Wiki/TVTropes this very website]] when Blake invokes the IceCreamKoan trope. He then claims to have once portrayed the character of [[Anime/GenesisOfAquarion Gen Fudo]], although it's not known if he's joking or not, as he had just quoted a phrase the character had used before.

** MasterOfIllusion: Nathan is able to use these, which is noted as a rarity among Christeners, even able to fake being held captive to an unwitting group of ghouls by making them see him bound with rope while he simply walks unmolested. His alternate counterpart, Nathan-Prime, is able to do this as well, but amps it UpToEleven by doing so from many realities away.

* IKnowWhatYouFear: Sanguine Collective vampires who feed on fear can utilize this. Enforcer Cole is noted to be a specific example known as a Fear Lord, but he is unable to properly utilize his powers in the book.
Added DiffLines:
* LatinIsMagic: primarily, Blake invokes his spells using Latin. He says this is mostly because he can invoke in a way that allows him to use words that if he were to use in English could accidentally cause his Christening to activate if he wasn't careful enough. Also, he thinks it sounds cool.
Added DiffLines:
* MagicByAnyOtherName: members of the Gray Forum are explicitly said not to use magic, which they instead refer to as the Christening. This is mostly down to semantics, as they don't wish to be associated with apostates and rogue witches and warlocks who inherently abuse the Christening to enforce their will on the world through evocation. Although, Blake notes it was getting more popular in his day to use evocation rather than invocation in his day, which is one of several reasons it's implied that this was why the Gray Forum had to be destroyed. However, it is also noted that using evocation at all doesn't make one evil; it's relying on it and seeking to control the Christening, rather than commune with it, that makes it so terrible.
Added DiffLines:
* PsychicLink: Blake and Zea form the start of one when they meet. It's not perfect and they can't fully read one another's thoughts yet, but they can get sensations of what the other one is feeling, which can overwhelm them if they're not careful with their emotions.
Added DiffLines:
* WizardsLiveLonger: Blake explains that, as a result of the Christening, most Christeners are able to live far longer than their mundane counterparts, as being in touch with Creation allows them to be surrounded by life in a way few other beings can do. He himself doesn't look his age and notes his own parents were most definitely not in their fifties when they had him, but wasn't ever able to get a straight answer out of them when it came to how old they actually were. It's actually hypothesized that Christeners are functionally immortal, but can still be killed by disease, spells, and weapons.
