* ''Literature/CradleSeries'': Lindon is given a lecture on this early on. It is explained that your own spirit is supreme inside your body; trying to directly affect another person (such as affecting their blood, or injecting power into them to produce a specific effect) needs either speed or overwhelming force to work. Even instantaneous effects like a fireball to the face can be disrupted by the enemy's [[{{Mana}} madra]], which is why attacking someone at a higher PowerLevel is always a difficult prospect. Ruler techniques take control of the BackgroundMagicField to cause an effect indirectly, but even then the target has the advantage and can push it away with their own spirit.

* ''Franchise/{{Nasuverse}}'': Every magus has the ability to repel magical energy from entering their bodies; in particular, making magical energy course through the body is an excellent way to dispell any form of spell in the making. Magi are not completely immune to magecraft, as they can theoretically be targeted by spells that have already been completed, but most magi don't bother with that and prefer to simply use spells that cause a direct interference, like a fireball or a lightning bolt,when dealing with a fellow magus.
