I think I'm about done for now. Reread done. Maybe I'll come back eventually to make entirely new pages for this, but for now I'm burned out.
* CessationOfExistence: Even in a series where most people continue as disembodied minds after death, this is possible. The most common method is having one's remains scattered to prevent their spirit from being fully embodied in one place, but it is also possible for dead minds to cease existence by completing perceived UnfinishedBusiness.
* DeathActivatedSuperpower: More like Death-Enhanced Superpower. The Great Majority continue doing in death what they did in life, and that includes individuals with PsychicPowers. The most spectacular uses of powers in the series are carried out by corpses reanimated by Necroscopic power.
* ExtradimensionalShortcut: Harry Keogh acquires the power to transport himself instantaneously through a subspace-esque location known as the Mobius Continuum, with the only limitations being that a truly exceptional understanding of math and appropriate coordinates are required. Since he has the former and the dead provide the latter, there are very few practical limitations on the power.

* ParasitesAreEvil: The Wamphyri walk a wobbly line between symbiosis and parasitism: essentially a race of alien leeches, they empower their hosts with immortality, inhuman strength, necromancy and the ability to warp flesh at a touch. Unfortunately, being bonded means being painfully and unwillingly impregnated with a fetal vampire symbiote - complete with rape imagery - and subject to its hunger. Regardless of how benevolent they were beforehand, hosts are all gradually corrupted into villainy by their new appetites, to the point that any differences between the parasite and its host vanish: the end result is a [[TheSociopath sociopathic]] HumanoidAbomination that will think nothing of committing murder, torture, anatomically-impossible rape, and other crimes too hideous to describe. Vampires are considered so evil in this setting that, upon dying, they're actually excluded by the other dead minds, who want nothing to do with them. [[spoiler: Even Harry Keogh isn't immune to this sort of treatment once he gets infected by a vampire symbiote.]]

* PayEvilUntoEvil: A mantra of Harry Keogh to the point of being ArcWords, and an attitude held by most in the series since only truly inhumane measures can keep Wamphryi dead.

Added DiffLines:
* PortalCut: An application of Mobius Continuum doors that only starts receiving use later in the series when the users start getting more creative with their power than simply teleporting a bomb into an enemy stronghold.
Added DiffLines:
* ResistTheBeast: [[spoiler: Harry Keogh manages to do this once he gets infected so that he can get back into the vampire world without engineering the fall of the human race. Much later the entirety of E-Branch's heads and the Necroscope Jake Cutter are infected and end up holding off their vampiric urges with HeroicWillpower long enough to build a means for society to continue post vampire apocalypse.]]
Added DiffLines:
* SquishyWizard: The few psychics in the series with direct offensive powers, i.e. Necroscopes are firmly this. Extremely potent psychic powers, still completely human in body so a bullet or physical blow can stop them. [[spoiler: Not so much post-Wamphryi infection, with Harry Keogh and Jake Cutter becoming nightmarishly powerful as a result.]]
Added DiffLines:
* WrongContextMagic: Necroscopy itself. Necroscopes can communicate with the dead via the medium of Deadspeak, which cannot be detected by espers except as a large disturbance in the psychic aether. [[spoiler: And the dead will rise from the graves to fight for Necroscopes willingly out of sheer love, animated by the weird talent in question.]]
