  1. Eddie uses his torc to form a perfect key to open a locked door:
  2.  
  3. I subvocalised the activating Words, and Drood armour slipped out of the golden collar around my neck, and ran down my right arm to form a golden glove around my hand. I pressed one gleaming finger against the heavy brass lock, and golden filaments extended from my fingertip, filling the lock and forming into just the right key. I turned the key in the lock, pulled my armour back into my torc, and pushed the door open. It swung slowly inwards, revealing a dark, shadowed hallway. The hinges groaned loudly.
  4. “How very traditional,” said Molly.
  5. “Be fair,” I said. “No one’s oiled those hinges in years. You have to make allowances.” -Casino Infernale
  6.  
  7. Eddie pulls a fucking laptop out of his pocket:
  8.  
  9. I moved over to a nearby side table, reached into my pocket, and retrieved my computer laptop from my pocket dimension. I keep all kinds of useful items there. I wiped a thick coating of dust from the tabletop with my coat sleeve, and then set down the laptop and fired it up. -Casino Infernale
  10.  
  11. During a game involving several naked contestants fighting to the death over a staff (it makes sense in context), Eddie survives being trampled for a bit, then hits people in their legs with enough force to crack bones and break ankles:
  12.  
  13. All kinds of feet slammed into me from every direction, knocking the breath right out of me. It didn’t take me long to realise that if I stayed down, I would be trampled to death.
  14. So, I delivered short vicious punches, and back-elbows, in every direction; cracking bones and breaking ankles, until enough people crashed to the floor to allow me enough space to fight my way back onto my feet again. -Casino Infernale
  15.  
  16. Apparently the pocket dimension Eddie keeps around with him isn't actually in his pocket; it just hovers by its side, waiting for him to use it:
  17.  
  18. I reached into the pocket dimension at my hip, brought out my Colt Repeater, and shot him neatly between the eyes. His head snapped back, and he was dead before he hit the bodies piled up around him. The pocket dimension isn’t actually in the pocket of my trousers, or I’d never be able to wear another pair. It just hovers at my hip, and goes everywhere with me. Most useful thing the Armourer ever made for me. I slipped the Colt back into the pocket dimension, and it disappeared again. -Casino Infernale
  19.  
  20. Eddie manifests his torc despite being in the presence of a power-nulling machine that completely nullified Molly's magic. He then proceeds to tear the machine apart:
  21.  
  22. I subvocalised my activating Words, and my armour slammed into place around me. Because there isn’t a null big enough anywhere to keep a Drood from his armour. I glared about me through my golden mask, with all its augmented vision, and it took me only a moment to track down the null generator. I could See it clearly, hidden behind a wall. I lowered Molly carefully onto the nearest chair, behind the desk, and hurried over to the wall. I ripped it apart with my golden hands, and wood and plaster flew in all directions. The generator stretched all along the wall, a thin layer of unfamiliar high tech, with moving parts and glittering lights. I plunged both hands into the exposed machinery and tore it apart, piece by piece, glancing back over my shoulder to see what effect I was having. Molly remained slumped in her chair, her face worryingly slack, until I finally found the right piece to destroy. And then all the lights in the wall went out and Molly sat bolt upright, smiling widely with relief. -Casino Infernale
