However, it is gradually revealed that apparently so is ''everyone'' else in her squad, with the exception of the nebbishy lieutenant, and including [[spoiler:the extremely auspicious Sergeant Jackrum and a third of the high command]]. Given that there's explicit divine involvement, and while that semi-divinity can only move 'small things', she's also capable of running a very effective GambitRoulette through TheOnlyBeliever - and how large are thoughts?

He and Harry peer through Voldemort's backstory and find that they are called Horcroxes and there are five more of them.

This bears some TruthInTelevision. Previously impossible feats of physical prowess get, once proven feasible, repeated by other athletes until one of them surpasses it and the cycle repeats. Scientific breakthroughs run in a similar vein -- once you figure out how to do something, inventors will endeavor to emulate it in simpler, more efficient ways.

* ''WesternAnimation/WinxClub'': The first two seasons don't establish a pattern when it comes to fairy magic. First, is just the ability to transform into a fairy, and then an upgrade to that base form. The third season, however, it's all about getting a new, superior transformation: the Enchantix. From then onward, each season's goal is to acquire new fairy forms, oftentimes even more than one per season. The Enchantix is purported as the ultimate transformation... until (toy sells and) stronger villains make it obsolete. Then, the Winx have to get the Believix, fed by humans' belief in magic, and its Gift of Destiny mods (to fight the Major Earth Fairies). Since the Believix doesn't work properly underwater, they have to take the Quest of the Sirenix, in the meantime being granted the Harmonix. Come the sixth season and they lose their powers, so Bloom shares the Dragon's Flame, and lo and behold they have the Bloomix. But they still need to access the Legendarium, so they gain the Mythix. The seventh season is similar -- first, the Butterflix to connect with the fairy animals and then the Tynix to access the mini-worlds. The eighth has a Queen gift them the Cosmix and reintroduces three previous transformations.
