** Shakespearicles, the strongest writer who ever lived, invented the two-story building, the stage play, America and the rocket launcher. Because he did not invent stairs, people were forced to reach the second floor via RocketJump for the next three hundred years until Abraham Lincoln went and invented stairs... before dying after trying to rocket jump up the world's first staircase in Ford's Theatre.

** Nami's slaps [[AmusingInjuries bruise]] [[RubberMan Luffy]] because "She hurts his spirit." Of course anyone with the ability to use haki would also be able to nullify Luffy's [[BuffySpeak rubberness]], but by the time this power was introduced, Nami had been slapping around Luffy for years. When he was introduced (much later but still a good while before Haki), Luffy's grandfather Garp also displayed the ability to hurt Luffy, claiming he was able to because of ThePowerOfLove.

** The Marine Captains' {{Coat Cape}}s, despite simply hanging on their shoulders are held in place by Justice. And justice will never fall!

* ''TabletopGame/MageTheAscension'': Every human is essentially unaware that they are a Reality-Warping God, and mages are beginning to awaken to the truth, but most need their Focus to actually employ their powers, as they [[ClapYourHandsIfYouBelieve believe that whatever method they practice is actually responsible for the changes they employ]], whether they use druidic magic, mad science, martial arts or reality hacking. The more they raise their Arete the more they realize that the magic is in them rather than their tools. [[AvertedTrope Averted]] with the Technocrats, as their Enlightenment further cements their belief that their technology is the source of the fantastic abilities, and even when a Technocrat Ascends, they basically become a Ghost in the Machine.

** This is used to humorous effect when a group of Imperial engineers try to determine what it is that makes Orky weaponry so deadly. They dismantle it, put it back together, try everything they can to even get the gun to fire but nothing. This is because the gun is ''missing several vital components''. When they put it in the hands of an ork, it fires with deadly power.
** Ork spaceships have been reported to navigate through space for months despite having run completely out of fuel, just because the crew thought they should or simply didn't notice.
