This isn't an example, exactly, since it's

That's great and all, but the adds mean it's not this trope after all. Hooray.

* The first ''{{Halo}}'' game states the eponymous rings are superweapons that are incapable of killing the Flood. Rather, they starve the Flood by killing the complex lifeforms the Flood require for food (i.e. the host bodies that the Flood infect and inhabit). The third game's climax is resolved by [[spoiler: using a Halo ring to destroy the Flood, literally the only sentient being in the universe's continuity that it ''cannot'' kill]].
** This one is simple - [[spoiler:the replacement 04 ring wasn't finished. It wasn't the firing that was meant to kill the Flood. It was the fact that it blew up, taking the Ark with it]]. This is why Guilty Spark was so pissed - he'd just found a new purpose, only to realise that [[spoiler:it needed to be blown up ''again'']].
** Creator/GregBear's ''TheForerunnerSaga'' expands on this a little bit, showing that the Halos are capable of being "tuned" to produce more narrow and destructive effects, or more wide and limited effects. So a Halo could be set to cause massive destruction on the scale of a single system, or be set "merely" to purge all life of sufficient complexity in a large fraction of the galaxy.

* AlanDeanFoster's ''HumanxCommonwealth'' series started off the character of Flinx as a partially telepathic young thief, with the implication that his powers, though unusual, are not particularly terrifying and bizarre. The two mentor figures, Bran Tse-Mallory and Truzenzuzex, even comment among themselves that the boy is "a partial telepath", but apparently don't care enough to research the matter further. In later novels that expand Flinx's origin story, it's revealed that he's an empath, not a telepath, and was created as such by a [[ZeroPercentApprovalRating universally reviled]] group of {{Evilutionary Biologist}}s, so they ''really'' ought to have been more curious. Also, Flinx's age given in ''Bloodhype'' conflicts with the universal timeline Foster later established, the description of his ship is vastly different (to the point where Foster {{retcon}}ned it to be able to camouflage and reconfigure itself at will), and his pet minidrag is male, rather than the female it was established canonically to be in the chronologically earlier ''The End of the Matter''.
