Added Goblins to Webcomics Section

Added DiffLines:

* Inverted in {{Webcomic/Goblins}}: In the Maze of Many, Minmax's group finds a room with a secret hole in it which is connected to a large wall; anything inserted causes the wall to protrude a giant stone copy of the inserted object. [[https://www.goblinscomic.com/comic/07122011 Minmax nearly kills the party while testing it with his sword.]] Inversion since the real life object is the miniature in this situation.

The term for this when used for magic is SympatheticMagic, which operates on the principle that "like affects like." In many works featuring this magic, the magician often needs something that his or her victim once owned (such as fingernail clippings or a lock of his or her hair) in order for the RealityChangingMiniature to actually work.

* An episode of ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'' ends with the Planet Express crew in possession of a box which contains their own universe. When they shake the box, it causes an earthquake, and when Fry sits on the box, the picture becomes stretched out and flattened.

* In ''Fanfic/SayItThrice'', Betlegeuse implies this about the Maitland's model of their town.

* Inverted in ''Film/SpyKids2IslandOfLostDreams''. The model of the Island of Leeke Leeke shows where all the MixAndMatchCritters currently are, by causing their miniature critters to roam where the big ones are. Holograms also show the presence of other humans on the island, hence how Romero can see [[spoiler: Gary and Gerti]].

* One episode of ''Series/TheTwilightZone2019'' was about a church handyman who found a miniature of his small town and discovered any changes to the model would be made to the town. He initially used it to help out the town, but ultimately begins using it to get revenge on the town's corrupt mayor, who had been taking responsibility for the handyman's good deeds in spite of being responsible for these problems in the first place.

* ''WesternAnimation/ChalkZone'': Altering the real world chalk drawing will cause the corresponding alteration to occur to its Chalk Zone counterpart. In one of the short, Rudy connects a bunch of tiny bodies of water into a continuous river by connecting them on a map, which makes the full-size versions link up as well (into the "Amazin' River").

* In the famous scene in ''VideoGame/WarcraftIII'', [[BigBad Archimonde]] shapes the dust near Dalaran into a replica of the city, then swipes his hand through the dust-model. The result is...spectacular, but sadly off-screen.

* ''LightNovel/ACertainMagicalIndex'': When Index teaches Komoe Tsukuyomi how to perform a healing spell, first she instructs her to make a model of the room they are in out of household items. When Komoe accidentally nudges the model, the entire room shakes. The purpose is to include something in the model that resembles an angel. This summons a copy of an angel to perform the actual healing.

Add example - Video Game, Maquette

Added DiffLines:

* ''VideoGame/{{Maquette}}'' combines this with RecursiveReality. Each level contains a miniature version of itself, and is itself contained in a proportionally scaled-up version, apparently infinitely in both directions. Objects (and the player) can be transferred between layers, and any change affects every iteration. For example, the player can climb over the edge of their layer into the next larger one where they are now small enough to walk under a locked gate. Or, they can pick up a key in their current layer and place it across a gap in the miniature; its massively scaled-up version becomes a bridge over the corresponding ravine in the first layer.

* ''WesternAnimation/BattleForBFDI'': In "Why Would You Do This on a Swingset", the immunity prizes for [[VotedOffTheIsland Cake at Stake]] are Earths. When Balloony is safe, he receives his Earth and pokes it. Cue a giant version of his finger falling from the sky and crushing Four, although this being [[RealityWarped Four]], he's perfectly fine afterwards.

* A ''ComicBook/{{JLA}}'' story dealt with the villains seizing an artifact called the Worlogog that was the universe in miniature, and whoever held it could exert his will upon it. Needless to say, it was a ''very'' bad thing when ComicBook/TheJoker got his hands on it, to the point that ComicBook/MartianManhunter had to forcibly make him briefly sane so he would give it up (and undo the casualties of a murder spree the villains took part in earlier). The device was given to Hourman and taken away for safekeeping.

* One of the short films created for the reality show ''Series/OnTheLot'' had a mixup at the post office causing a globe that alters the real world sent to a wealthy couple instead of a government facility. Once the couple realizes what the globe can do, the wife begins shaving her ring with a knife over their location, causing giant chunks of gold to rain down. Excitedly, she pries the diamond from the ring and drops it on the globe, only to [[OhCrap realize her mistake]] as a shadow the size of a city looms over their neighborhood...

* In ''ComicBook/LoisLane #39'', Lois discovers that Superman keeps portraits of his old girlfriends. The reason is that the portraits were enchanted so that anything happening to the portrait would curse the person depicted (i.e., a smear of red paint gave ComicBook/LanaLang flame-breath).

* Kain from the [[QuirkyMinibossSquad Seven Kin of Purgatory]] in ''Manga/FairyTail'' has a doll that can affect the person whose hair to touching the doll, and not only does he use it to hurt his enemies he also uses it ''on himself'' to modify his physical abilities, such as turning the doll to steel to increase his durability.
* Yoshihiro Kira, the [[TheDragon malevolent father]] of the equally dangerous BigBad of part 4 of ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure'', became bound to a photograph through his Stand after death. Now, courtesy Atom Heart Father, he can manipulate the area depicted in whichever photo he's bound to. Whatever he does in the photo, happens in the actual place, and he can even trap anyone who's there. He came within ''centimeters'' of killing Josuke and Jotaro. All that stopped him was [[spoiler:Jotaro taking another photograph of the photo - making sure to put ''only'' Yoshihiro in it, thus trapping Yoshihiro in an otherwise-empty picture. And then it turned out Yoshihiro can project his upper body ''out'' of the photo.]]
