* In ''VideoGame/FireEmblemTheBlazingBlade'', Nils and Ninian could transfer their energy to each other. This is why when you gain control of them, they share the same stats; neither of them are playable at the same time, so they just transfer their energy to each other each time they switch. Note that in the endgame if you get Ninian back, she would have her base stats rather than her current stats; Nils could not transfer her energy to her, and so all of the experience she gained is gone. (This is only visible in multiplayer, for what it's worth.)

* ComicBook/{{Galactus}} gives his Heralds a minuscule portion of his life energy in order for them to be able to traverse space to find planets for him to eat. ComicBook/SilverSurfer is the first of the heralds.
* Creator/MarvelComics' ''ComicBook/SecretWars'' has Characters/DoctorDoom wrest the godlike powers away from the Beyonder, then gives Earth's heroes an ultimatum: leave Doom alone, and Doom will leave the heroes alone. Interfere with Doom, and Doom will eradicate the heroes in one fell swoop. Deciding that Doom cannot be trusted, the heroes launch an assault on the Tower of Doom. Doom, not wanting to loose tremendous power that he so recently acquired, donates some to TheDragon Klaw. Klaw is sent to thwart the heroes while Doom attempts to steady his thoughts and keep his awesome power bottled.
* MarvelComics: Superheroes ComicBook/CloakAndDagger did this all the time. Cloak had darkness powers that he had to feed with energy in order to survive. Dagger produced daggers of light and had to periodically emit them to keep from losing control. They had a symbiotic relationship with Dagger feeding Cloak her excess energy.

* Another ''Star Wars'' fic ''[[https://m.fanfiction.net/s/7034896/1/ The Princess And The Pirate]]'' has Leia giving Han a Force energy jolt to give him strength to keep moving as they try to get to safety after he's been badly beaten.

[[folder:VisualNovels]]
* In ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'', transferring power from one person to another becomes important in all three routes. Usually this takes the form of magical energy or "mana", but can also involve things like the transfer of command seals or a mage's family crest. In the original eroge version of the visual novel, this is most effectively accomplished through a [[DeusSexMachina ritual involving sexual intercourse]], but the BleachedUnderpants adaptations replace actual sex with various sexual metaphors.
** In the ''Fate'' route, Saber's improper summoning means that she does not automatically draw on her masters' mana like a servant is supposed to. Since servants consume magical energy to fight and even just to exist, Rin has to devise a way for Shirou to give his magical energy to Saber before she fades away.
** In ''Unlimited Blade Works'', Shirou unlocks a powerful combat ability but has neither the magic circuits nor mana reserves to keep it up against Gilgamesh. Therefore, Rin has to transfer some of her capacity to him before the big showdown.
** In ''Heaven's Feel'', [[spoiler:Sakura has a parasite called a crest worm in her body that drains her energy, seriously threatening her health and causing her to intensely hunger for a source of mana. Shirou voluntarily lets her feed off his energy, appreciating the chance to get closer to her, although he feels increasingly drained after each session. The Epilogue of the Good End reverses this dynamic, since Sakura has begun producing a surplus of energy and has to transfer it to Shirou in order to keep in balance.]]
* In ''VideoGame/FireEmblemElibe'', Nils and Ninian could transfer their energy to each other. This is when you gain control of them, they would share the same stats that they had early and it is build up from there. Note that when in the endgame and you get Ninian back (which cannot be seen except for the multiplayer), she would have the base stats (stats that the unit may start with).

As a stopgap measure Uncle transfuses the victim with chi from another person, which has the side effect of giving the recipient some of their personality traits.
* In ''WesternAnimation/XMen'', after Jean Grey is purged of [[TheDarkPhoenixSaga the Dark Phoenix]], the team is told that [[EquivalentExchange one of them must give up their own life in order for her to live]]. Instead they TakeAThirdOption by having everyone donate a portion of the LifeEnergy required.
* Creator/{{Filmation}}'s ''WesternAnimation/TheNewAdventuresOfSuperman'' has the episode "The Pernicious Parasite" in which an industrial burglar develops the ability to absorb the life force of anyone he contacts. His victims wither and age rapidly. At first, Superman is stymied how to defeat this villain without increasing his power. Ultimately, Superman gets his adversary in a clench, transferring oodles of his super strength into his foe. It's more than a human body can safely store, and the villain slowly dissolves into a waning sunburst.

Indices: MagicAndPowers, {{Power}} and HealingAndCuringTropes

The opposite of EnergyAbsorption. One character willingly gives some of their {{Ki}}, LifeEnergy, {{Mana}}, etc. to another. The donor may be doing this to recharge them when they're exhausted or dying, or to increase their power beyond its limits for some great challenge. Frequently receiving extra energy has the side effect of healing the recipient's wounds, or at least making them easier to ignore. Giving a {{muggle}} such energy may either have no effect, or make them able to perform some magic feats temporarily.
When the donor gives the recipient a different kind of energy to what they normally use, things get ''interesting''. They could [[YinYangBomb unlock greater powers from the mixed energies]], [[{{Metamorphosis}} be transformed into a being similar to the donor]], or just die/[[GoMadFromTheRevelation go mad from the spiritual conflict]]. Infusing an evil character with good energy increases their odds of [[HeelFaceTurn turning good]], though the reverse is more likely to create a SuperpoweredEvilSide instead.
When it exists, this ability is usually something anyone with a particular kind of power can do, though it may require training to do properly.
SuperTrope to BequeathedPower and CombinedEnergyAttack. Compare WithOurSwordsScene, CastFromHitPoints, HealingHands, LiquidAssets and SuperEmpowering, which may overlap. Contrast with EmpathicHealer, which is exclusively physical and functions in the opposite manner. A ManaPotion is an item which has this effect.

** ''Anime/DragonballGT'' features Goku's Super Saiyan allies ([[MyFriendsAndZoidberg and Pan]]) restoring him to full strength by standing around him for a few minutes and letting him absorb the energy released by their {{Battle Aura}}s. A near-identical process was used in ''Anime/DragonballSuper'' (and its predecessor ''Anime/DragonBallZBattleOfGods''), to grant Goku access to the Super Saiyan God transformation.
