* ''VideoGame/PuyoPuyo'': Raffina's yellow pouch is actually what amplifies what little magic she has, which she casts by performing martial arts. Without that pouch of hers, she might as well not have a drop of magic in her to begin with.

* Art/LadyLiberty from the Force of July in ''[[ComicBook/BatmanAndTheOutsiders The Outsiders]]''. The Outsiders thought her energy blasts came from her torch and disarmed her. It turned out her power was internal and the torch just helped her focus it.
* A lot of these in ''ComicBook/XMen'', usually of the sort that makes their powers less destructive. Cyclops needs his visor to make his beams controllable, and also to see. Surge needs her gauntlets to regulate her electricity levels.

* ''Videogame/DevilMayCry5:'' V's cane has no power by its own, but as it's made of demonic metal, it's a good conduit for him to channel demonic energy.

* ''TabletopGame/{{Brancalonia}}'': Guiscards are a wizard subclass who compensate for the LowFantasy nature of their setting by digging up the magical relics of the lost age, [[TheMagicGoesAway when magic was more advanced and plentiful]]. Their subclass features let them wield more magical items than the average character, and also eke more power out of them.

* ''Series/{{Heroes}}'': Issac Mendez, the psychic painter, originally needed to get high on heroin in order to use his precognitive abilities. Even after he learned to do without, it was still easier for him to see the future while high. His paintings do become more focused while sober though. When he's sober he can actually focus on a certain person's future, such as Claire or Hiro. On heroin though, he has a tendency to paint the future totally at random.

* In ''Series/KamenRiderZeroOne'', [[BigBad Gai Amatsu/Kamen Rider Thouser]]'s main gimmick is his weapon, the [[MeaningfulName Thousand Jacker]], which gives him the ability to steal/copy powers from anyone with a Progrise Key, which he can use whenever he wants afterwards. This is to cover up Thouser's otherwise woefully short list of abilities, as the suit doesn't have any special abilities outside of [[MightyGlacier enhanced durability and strength]], nor does it provide a buffer to Gai's [[UnskilledButStrong poor combat learning skills]].

** ''Series/KamenRiderGeats'': The Boost Mark II Buckle on its own grants the title character five times the speed, power, and pyrokinetic abilities of the original Boost, but it also leaves him too exhausted to fight after less than a minute. Adding the Laser Raise Riser's gravity-manipulating powers in the other slot removes the strain of using Boost Mark II and makes it practical to actually use in combat.
