Crosswicking new trope.
Added DiffLines:
* LivingPhoto: {{ZigZagged|Trope}}, [[EvilSorcerer Maxim Horvath]] hunts Dave Stutler by bringing a calendar with photos of grey wolves on it to life, turning them into real SavageWolves and sending them after him. Luckily, [[MentorArchetype Balthazar Blake]] saves Dave by turning the wolves into puppies just as they jump on him- and then he turns them ''back'' into photos.

Added Masquerade Paradox example from its page
Added DiffLines:
* MasqueradeParadox: The closest thing we get to a justification for the Masquerade is when Balthazar says it would be "complicated" if [[{{Muggles}} regular people]] found out about magic. It's easier to ''enact'' the Masquerade, as pure magic spells like energy projection are invisible to regular humans (''e.g.'' Becky is incapable of seeing a giant fiery pentagram traced across the sky); however, anything acting on physical objects (''e.g.'' matter manipulation, telekinesis) is still fully visible. After the first couple of fights, the Masquerade isn't mentioned again, and the characters don't even bother trying to hide their magic anymore.

Centuries ago, the great wizard Merlin trained three apprentices: Balthazar Blake (Creator/NicolasCage), Maxim Horvath (Creator/AlfredMolina), and Veronica (Creator/MonicaBellucci). However, Horvath betrayed them to Morgana [=LeFay=] (Alice Krige), resulting in Merlin's death. In the aftermath Veronica and Morgana ended up trapped in an artifact known as [[SealedEvilInACan the Grimhold]], in which Balthazar later manages to trap Horvath. With his dying breath Merlin tasked Balthazar with finding his heir, [[TheChosenOne the Prime Merlinian]], who can end Morgana's evil forever.

This spell, called "the Hungarian Mirror Trap", is first used by the main hero to trap an enemy wizard mid-fight and is later used by that same villain to trap the heroes mid car chase, forcing them to find another reflective surface.
