* GenieInABottle: Both Kalash and Mandana are capable of turning into smoke, and have their own bottles (over the hearth and in the armory respectively) in Unavowed HQ which serve them as both beds and bedroom.
* InVinoVeritas: In one mission Mandana imbibes a whole bottle of wine by [[spoiler:temporarily [[GenieInABottle inhabiting the bottle]] as a hiding place]], and as a result gets absolutely smashed (although maybe the exotic method of "drinking" makes alcohol more potent than usual). She drops into a pseudo-Irish accent and slang centuries out of date, uses a few contractions, and is generally much more emotional (not to mention sentimental) than she is sober.
* SummonMagic: The BigBad's specialty, summoning a different creature for each area. The book that allowed them to possess the PlayerCharacter [[spoiler:turns out to be a book which allowed them to summon all the various supernatural beings from across the void, including]] [[spoiler:the knowledge spirit Melkhiresa.]]
* SuperSmoke: Jinns can do this, but only in order when going inside a bottle. Any bottle, as it turns out, but ''only'' bottles. [[HandWave Handwaved]] in an early puzzle where you ask if Mandana can turn to smoke to pass through the edge of a door; no, she can't.

* UngratefulBastard: Galene was defeated by the Unavowed some centuries in the past, but Kalash decided to spare her life, referring to the fact that Unavowed's mission is ostensibly to pacify supernatural treats, not to act as butchers and exterminators of supernatural creatures, and instead had her agree to a treaty that banished her to the North Woods in Central Park. Galene was, however, not appreciative at all of the mercy she was shown, and while she has been adhering to the treaty, she has been plotting ever since to find a way subvert it and kill Kalash for the her humiliating defeat and subsequent entrapment, and an opportunity would show up in the form of the demon-possessed Player Character... And true to form, [[spoiler:should the Player Character decide to extend the same mercy to her as Kalash did, even in spite of everything she has done, by using his wish to wish for peace rather than the alternatives ([[TakenForGranite transforming her to stone]] or [[KillItWithFire outright burning her to death]]), she will spitefully declare that she will find a new way to subvert the old deal, even if it takes her a millennia or more]].

* WhoWantsToLiveForever: Downplayed. Eli, being a Fire Mage, is destined to live much longer than a normal human. He'd already outlived his wife before his powers kicked in (cancer), but he's well aware of of the fact that, barring some accident on the job, he'll [[OutlivingOnesOffspring outlive his children too]]. While he's more or less made peace with the idea, it's evident from the number of photos he has of his family that it still bothers him on some level.

* ActionGirl: Both female companions. Mandana, being [[HalfHumanHybrid half-Jinn]], is the team's physical muscle. She's a deadly swordswoman and can use her scimitar to physically prise open locked doors and vents. Her strength also lets her climb, run, and jump considerably faster and farther than any normal human. Vicki, on the other hand, is a BadassNormal, and a crack shot with a handgun.

* CannotTellALie: As a half-Jinn, Mandana is compelled to always tell the truth if she is asked a direct question. She explains that all Jinns feel unbearable physical pain if they attempt to tell a lie, but also that they are still capable of trickery and subterfuge through the use of ExactWords, and laments that the latter is why many people doesn't fully trust Jinns.
