* Maw-mouths in ''Literature/TheScholomance'' are not considered completely invincible, but there's only one credible example in living memory of one being destroyed, and it required numerous powerful wizards working together for days with nearly half of them dying in the attempt. [[spoiler:It's later revealed that even this didn't actually kill the creature, although it was driven away.]] Since trying and failing to kill a maw-mouth results in [[FateWorseThanDeath being endlessly digested]], wizards are understandably more inclined to run from them than try to fight. When protagonist El is able to kill one as a high-school junior, and later refine her technique to more or less effortlessly defeat them, it makes her notorious and feared in the wizarding community.

* ''Franchise/HarryPotter'': This is at the heart of Harry epithet, "The Boy Who Lived." He's the only known person to survive a direct hit by the [[OneHitKill Avada Kedavra]] spell. It's later explained as ThePowerOfLove.

* ''Literature/VillainessLevel99IMayBeTheHiddenBossButImNotTheDemonLord'': The fact that Yumiella is Level 99. It is so inconceivable that one of the first issues Yumiella had to deal with is to prove to the school she really was that level as many students and teachers assumed she cheated on the test somehow.

* ''Literature/VirtuousSonsAGrecoRomanXianxia'': Adamant is supposed to be unbreakable once forged, yet [[spoiler:the statue of Heracles the Champion holds one of the adamant chains that bound Prometheus in its hand.]]

Added DiffLines:

* ''Literature/ThirdTimeLuckyAndOtherStoriesOfTheMostPowerfulWizardInTheWorld'': In "Nothing Up Her Sleeve" other wizards had concluded that a {{flying carpet}} was impossible, but Magdelene (who's the most powerful wizard in the world) makes one anyway right after they say this (or [[FlatEarthAtheist still do while seeing it]]).
