* In ''The [[Literature/TheWheelOfTime Wheel of Time]]'' Myrddraal and ''gholam'' have an ability to sense [[MagicByAnyOtherName channeling]]. In the case of ''gholam'' this is particularly dangerous, since they are immune to channeling and were created for the express purpose of killing enemy channelers.
* In ''TheSwordOfShannara'' by Terry Brooks, Allanon gives Shea the Elfstones with which to protect himself, but only warns him much later that using the Elfstones will alert the Warlock Lord and his Skull Bearers of Shea's location. He does this precisely so that Shea will [[TooAwesomeToUse not be afraid to use the stones if he really needs them]], and because the stones themselves are an effective defense against the Skull Bearers.
* In TanyaHuff's ''SmokeAndShadows'' novels, Tony Foster, who already seems to be a WeirdnessMagnet, finds that he attracts even more supernatural phenomena once he becomes an actual wizard. His vampire ex-boyfriend (need more be said?) warns him that now that he is "a player" he stands out from the ranks of ordinary humanity and will inevitably attract attention. Not that Tony didn't have a history of stumbling into the supernatural anyway.
