Added DiffLines:

* ''Franchise/StarWars'':
** In ''Film/ANewHope'', Obi-wan Kenobi is such a guide and teacher to Luke Skywalker. The novelization strongly implies that Kenobi did something to help awaken Luke's Force powers during the training aboard the ''Millenium Falcon'', en route to Alderaan.
** In ''Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack'', Yoda takes over this role - and again, the novelization strongly implies that Yoda is actively awakening new powers in Luke.

Added DiffLines:

* ''Death of an Adept'', from the Adept series by Creator/KatherineKurtz and Deborah Turner Harris, provides a villainous example: the evil Baron Soulis has a demonic companion named Robin Redcap, who boosts Soulis' magic powers in much the same way that a {{Familiar}} does.
* In the ''Literature/FamiliarTales'' series by Alma T.C. Boykin, [[{{Familiar}} most Familiars]] have this as one of their duties. A Familiar is sent to a person when it's needed, and not before. The Familiar guides and assists his or her mage in working magic; they boost the mage's strength and endurance; they provide advice (both magical and mundane) when it's needed; and they keep the mage's feet firmly on the path of Right.


Added DiffLines:

* ''Literature/HeraldsOfValdemar'': This is one of the several roles that Companions play for their Heralds, especially the ones with strong Gifts. A Companion can boost his or her Herald's Gifts, whether those Gifts are in 'real' magic or mind-magic. They also provide both advice and comfort: a Herald always ''knows'', without doubt or question, that they are never alone; there will always be at least one entity that loves them.

* ''WesternAnimation/DungeonsAndDragons1983'': The Dungeon Master is this to the kids. He brings them into the Realm for purposes of his own, and provides them with their magic weapons. He appears at random to guide them through the Realm, and gives them help when they need it (usually in the form of cryptic advice). In one episode Presto loses his wizard's hat; in the episode's tag, Dungeon Master returns it.

* Played for laughs in ''Discworld/TheLastContinent''; Rincewind is periodically aided/annoyed by a divine being generally known as Scrappy, which can take multiple forms and interferes in his adventure in order to guide him to the fruition of his quest. Even though this is the last thing Rincewind wants.

* Dobby tries to be this for Harry in ''Literature/HarryPotterAndTheChamberOfSecrets'', but all his attempts to guide Harry involve injuring him or getting him expelled from school.


Added DiffLines:

* Gandalf of ''Literature/TheLordOfTheRings'' and ''Literature/TheHobbit'' guides the heroes through their journeys with little direct interaction. As a Maiar, he's best left to leave the war to the Dwarves and Hobbits while he deals with the more demonic threats, like the Balrog.

* The owl Kaepora Gaebora in ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime'' and its sequel ''MajorasMask'' shows up periodically to give background and direction, although he's so long-winded that players tend to skip his dialogue. To a lesser extent, there are statues (usually owl- or at least bird-shaped) throughout the Zelda games giving hints on difficult puzzles or bosses.
