Would this count as an example:

*Downplayed in ''Literature/HarryPotter'' with regards to wands, especially [[Literature/HarryPotterAndTheDeathlyHallows The Elder Wand.]] A wand has a certain loyalty to its owner. When a young wizard goes to get their first wand, they have to be "[[OnlyTheChosenMayWield choosen]]" by the wand or else magic can be difficult if not impossible for them to properly use. However, the wand may switch loyalties from its owner to another if it is rightfully taken, or their owner is beaten in a duel. Lore around the Elder Wand, a legendarily powerful item, suggested that it may only work at full capacity for the person who has killed its last owner. This proves to be not entirely correct though in that Voldemort is capable of great magical feats with use of the wand although it holds no true loyalty to him because he hadn't defeated its last owner. In despite of that, he is still capable of performing great magic with it, but only because he is such a great wizard.

Yeah, that's a little confusing....
