* Quite a few allomantic metals in ''Literature/{{Mistborn}}''. Full mistborn get enough powers that some being useless is acceptable, but a misting, who can only use one metal, may as well not have allomancy at all if they can burn these metals. And you have to go through serious trauma just to awaken any allomantic abilities. Imagine being abused by your family because you have allomantic potential, just to awaken one of these.
** Aluminum harmlessly destroys all allomantic metal in your body.

* In ''Literature/InheritanceCycle'', the main character, Eragon, blesses a character with suck. A mother asks him to bless her baby, and he does so with (what he thinks is) a spell to shied her from harm in the LanguageOfMagic. However a grammatical error instead compels her to shield ''everybody else'' from harm. As a result she can sense threats to people around her and is physically compelled to prevent as much harm as possible. To Eragon's credit, he swears to fix his mistake, and does a reasonable job of doing so. [[spoiler:Although he's unable to fully remove the curse, he is able to remove the compulsion to prevent the impending harm, leaving her with just the ability to sense impending danger to others]].

* ''Literature/{{Discworld}}'': In an echo of the Mydas myth, a character is cursed by a deity to have anything he touches turn into gold. Unfortunately, the aforesaid deity was dyslexic and cursed him with the ability to turn anything into ''Glod'', which happens to be the name of a dwarf several thousand miles away, who found himself teleported to the kingdom and relentlessly duplicated. The people of the kingdom are now known to be "a little [[{{Pun}} short-tempered]]".
