* [[Chekhov's Skill]]: Teresa is good at telling stories, Baz/Bors is an amateur drummer, Joshua is... just a bit kleptomaniac.
* [[Doorstopper]]: While not as hefty as some other books, it still clocks in at a perfectly respectable 640 pages.
* [[Dream Land]]: Umaya.
* [[Did Mom Just Have Tea with Cthulhu?]]?
* [[Dub Name Change]]: Bors becomes Baz, Joshua Tak becomes Joshua Cope, Giphart becomes Gippart, and so on.
* [[Britain Is Only London]]: and in the original Dutch book, ''The Netherlands are only Amsterdam''
* [[Half-Identical Twins]]
* [[Reality Warper]]: somewhat justified - they're in [[Dream Land]]. Joshua can change things by looking at them. Teresa also qualifies - she can change things by telling stories. These example are not a [[Game Breaker]] because 1) these powers are limited: Joshua and Teresa can't do everything they want; 2) they're are initially [[How Do I Shot Web?|unaware of their powers]].
* [[Time Master]]: Baz/Bors
* [[Theme Twin Naming]]: Joshua and Jericho
* [[The Storyteller]]: Teresa
* [[Time Travel]]: but in [[Dream Land]].
