* KillItWithFire: The sorcerous priests of Kos ''Everburning'' rather naturally start throwing fire around when it comes time to do violence. In fact, overuse of this is how Kos died in the first place: the navy of Iskar drew on a contract with Kos himself to blast some pirates with divine fire, but Kos was already running on fumes (unbeknownst to anyone), and this last drain on his power caused him to fail completely. Especially notable in being the only way Novice Abelard can fend off a horrifying shadow creature out to feed on his soul.

She's also an agent of Justice, meaning when she dons the Blacksuit she becomes stronger, faster and and able to think completely logically. The downside is that she then loses her individual thoughts and becomes part of Justice's HiveMind, so she spends most of the book avoiding that to be better able to think for herself.
