- Kvothe takes on a horde of scraelings single-handedly while simultaneously keeping the Chronicler safe.
- Kvothe decoding the Chronicler's shorthand cipher in a matter of a few seconds. The Chronicler is suitably impressed.
- Kvothe playing the Lay of Sir Savien in the tavern and not stopping even when a lute string breaks
- Kvothe saving Trebon by improvising a heatsink, then slaying the draccus by binding a huge wheel to a bit of iron, the draccus to its scale and the fire as energy simultaneously, essentially moving a ton of iron with his mind.
- One for Bast, near the end of the book: grabbing the iron talisman off Chronicler and really laying into him, and following it with "No reason we can't be friends."
- Some argue though that this trope should be awarded to the very moment Ambrose breaks his lute, making Kvothe enter in a berserk mode saying the name of the wind with his subconscious mind, sending Ambrose flying like a leaf, and subsequently scaring the shit out of him.
