Line 9:
* [[As Long As It Sounds Foreign]]: The "runes" on Harry's staff on the cover art are simply the mirror image "Matrix" in Japanese katakana (マトリックス).
* [[Badass Boast]]: The final lines:
{{quote| ''[[My Name Is Inigo Montoya]] [[Meaningful Name|Harry Blackstone Copperfield Dresden]]. Conjure by it at your own risk. When things get strange, when what [[Things That Go Bump in The Night|goes bump in the night]] flicks on the lights, when no one else can help you, [[Who You Gonna Call?|give me a call]]. I'm in the book.''}}
* [[Big Entrance]]: When Harry confronts Gentleman Johnny Marcone, he does so by blowing off the doors of his gentleman's club in a burst of magic (towards himself, protecting himself with a shield, so as to keep bystanders from getting hurt), then fireballing the jukebox into slag, and popping every lightbulb in the joint to make an impression. In a later story, Marcone has [[Genre Savvy|remembered this]], and has the dramatic entry points of his establishments furnished with flimsy doors, so that when similar things happen, the shrapnel won't do any damage. The ''strategic'' entry points, on the other hand, are equipped [[Dangerously Genre Savvy|with reinforced steel]].
* [[Blessed With Suck]]: There is a (seemingly) B plot in the distribution of the illegal drug Third Eye. Harry doesn't particularly care about it (mundane drugs are not his problem), until he discovers that {{spoiler|it's a ''magic'' drug that ''forcibly'' opens The Sight, even on mundanes. Users of the drug are driven completely insane from the first use, unable to ever forget what they've seen. And since Supernatural Chicago is not a nice place...}}
