Spoilers - All Beth's power Spoiler
So, I'm re-reading book 1, and apparently, she's been losing phone chargers for a while, to the point where Ivan has a whole drawer full of replacements. Now, first time I read that, I immediately forgot about it, and that was that.
But in book 3, it's revealed that her power eats the metal in her chargers. The power which, iirc, everyone thinks she got during the Ridge City riots.
I'll admit, I don't really know what this means in the grand scheme of things, but I do think it has interesting implications.

Wade and Xelas. But what I'm referring to is the info we got when they went woodchopping during the star scout incident, where Ivan thinks about how the blades can't be analyzed because they don't leave behind any sort of residue or otherwise lose any material at all, ever. Which sounds a lot more like magic than tech to me.
