* In ''Literature/TheVazulaChronicles'', one of Vazula's protections from outsiders is a giant whirlpool a few miles away from the island. When Heath, Bianca, and Brody travel to the island on a ship staffed by a non-magic-using captain and crew, they almost get sucked into the whirlpool.

Merletta also visits the whirlpool during her second year test, and finds that it goes all the way down to the ocean floor.
