* ''Manga/{{Bleach}}''

* The characters in ''LightNovel/SeikenTsukaiNoWorldBreak'' are able to utilize this, summoning weapons they used in the past when they were heroes of a different time era.

* This is how certain ''Anime/{{Pokemon}}'' attacks are depicted. An example is Lucario's Bone Rush, which looks like a cross between a SimpleStaff and a LaserBlade.

* ComicBook/{{Psylocke}}'s "focused totality of her psychic power" in ''Comicbook/XMen'' is a psychic blade that's able to fry the brain of any foe. At maximum intensity she can kill but it's seldom used this way. After a RePower that made her powers telekinetic instead of telepathic, it went from a wedge-shaped field of KirbyDots to a detailed energy katana that could function as an AbsurdlySharpBlade that could slice through anything (yet still have its stunning effect if it hit flesh and blood).
* This is one of the many possible uses of Invisible Woman's force fields. In one ''Comicbook/XMen''/''ComicBook/FantasticFour'' miniseries, she had a MamaBear moment and used a force sword to slay a Brood queen in close combat, leaving the males of both teams rather shocked.

* Comicbook/ThePunisher had this power briefly for two miniseries (''[[Comicbook/ThePunisherPurgatory Purgatory]]'' and ''Revelation''), pulling any kind of ''angelic weapon'' from his overcoat.
* This is the primary ability of the ''[[Comicbook/TheMightyThor Thor]]'' villain Gorr the God Butcher. He wields an ancient weapon known as All-Black the Necrosword, which is capable of creating all sorts of weaponry and [[InstantArmor armor]].

* Chaos Obliterators in ''TabletopGame/{{Warhammer 40000}}'' can mutate their limbs into various weapons, though some depictions have the weapons already present on their arms.

* ''Franchise/TheElderScrolls''

* [[FlamingDevil Ghirahim]] of ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaSkywardSword does this in his boss battles, summoning fencing sabers, greatswords and a FlechetteStorm with a BadassFingersnap.

* Shanoa of ''Videogame/CastlevaniaOrderOfEcclesia'' can create weapons instantly by equipping the right glyphs.
* Vergil from the ''Videogame/DevilMayCry'' series DoesNotLikeGuns (he thinks they lack elegance) and instead creates magical energy swords that launch themselves at his enemies. In ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry5'', [[spoiler: Dante's new sword can conjure four swords to attack on his behalf.]]

** White can make stronger swords in case the previous one breaks by ''burning [[{{SoulPower}} souls]]''. [[spoiler: [[{{TheHero}} Bam]] is forced to do this as well and makes a bow in order to continue the [[{{StormingTheCastle}} infiltration of The Nest]].]]

** [[MasterOfIllusion Ardyn]] also has access to this power due to being [[spoiler: the exiled brother of Somnus, the Founder King who betrayed him and had him imprisoned for over 2000 years]].

* Vergil from ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry'' has the Summoned Swords -- spectral projections of his father's sword, the Force Edge, that he can shoot at enemies as he DoesNotLikeGuns. The playable version from ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry5'' also gains a similar spectral melee weapon called the "Mirage Edge" to stand in for the Force Edge from his previous playable appearances.

* Vergil from ''Franchise/DevilMayCry'' has the Summoned Swords -- spectral projections of his father's sword, the Force Edge, that he can shoot at enemies as he DoesNotLikeGuns. The playable version from ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry5'' also gains a similar spectral melee weapon called the "Mirage Edge" to stand in for the Force Edge from his previous playable appearances.

* Enryu from ''Webcomic/TowerOfGod'' can create thousands of spears out of [[AppliedPhlebotinum Shinsu]] and [[DeathFromAbove let them]] [[RainOfArrows fall down onto]] his enemies.

* The shugenja of ''TabletopGame/LegendOfTheFiveRings'' can use their ElementalMagic to conjure weapons such as a [[FlamingSword katana of fire]], a [[SimpleStaff bo of water]], a [[BladeOnAStick yari of air]], or a [[CarryABigStick tetsubo of earth]].

** Hibiki, uniquely, ''cannot'' summon [[BladeOnAStick Gungnir's Armed Gear]]. She initially has an inferiority complex over this, believing that she's too weak[=/=]dumb to use it properly, but eventually she comes to view this as [[CursedWithAwesome a blessing in disguise]]. Her true Armed Gear, as she puts it, is [[BareFistedMonk her own hands]] - because she doesn't hold a weapon she's free to [[DefeatMeansFriendship hold hands]] [[CombinedEnergyAttack with others]].

* Jules from ''ComicBook/BazookaJules'' has this ability due to a micro-robtic weapon fusing with her body. The weapon placed small dimensional gateways around her body that lead to a dimension filled with {{nanomachines}}. When she needs a weapon like a gun, one of the gateways open up, the nanomachines flood out and they manipulated to form that weapon.

* In ''Ghosts of the Past'', sequel of ''Fanfic/ChildOfTheStorm'', Harry Dresden displays his canonical ability to create an energy whip made of [[spoiler:soulfire]] - though a little earlier than canon thanks to tutelage by Wanda.

* ''Literature/TheStormlightArchive'': A Radiant of the Third Ideal or higher can pull his [[BondCreature spren]] fully into the Physical Realm, causing her to materialize as a powerful magical weapon.

* ComicBook/{{Psylocke}}'s "focused totality of her psychic power" in ''Comicbook/XMen'' is a psychic blade that's able to fry the brain of any foe. At maximum intensity she can kill but it's seldom used this way. After a RePower that made her powers telekinetic instead of telepathic, it went from a wedge-shaped field of KirbyDots to a detailed energy katana that could function as an AbsurdlySharpBlade that could slice through anything (yet still have its stunning effect if it hit flesh and blood.)

* The [[TheHero titular character]] from ''Manga/{{Toriko}}'' can do this, creating knives and forks of varying sizes [[spoiler:composed of [[KiAttacks Appetite Energy]]]] which he uses as projectiles, the latter is also used as a shield.

** Cinder's Semblance, Scorching Caress, allows her to manipulate the shape of superheated objects such as glass, or even the powerful [[AppliedPhlebotinum Dust]]. She typically uses it to create [[BowAndSwordInAccord a bow and dual swords]] called Midnight out of Dust. However, [[spoiler:she is only capable of this due to [[PowerParasite absorbing]] half of the [[PersonOfMassDestruction Fall Maiden's]] power. Before that, Midnight was a more mundane MixAndMatchWeapon]].

* Enryu from ''Webcomic/TowerOfGod'' can create thousands of spears out of [[AppliedPhlebotinum Shinsoo]] and [[DeathFromAbove let them]] [[RainOfArrows fall down onto]] his enemies.

* In the ''VideoGame/{{Borderlands}}'' series, any character can wield a portable arsenal (ammo included) thanks to the in-universe "Digi-struct" system, provided they have a copy of the weapon in their inventory. This is taken up a notch in future iterations, with characters like Salvador of ''VideoGame/{{Borderlands 2}}'' being able to [[GunsAkimbo dual wield on command]], and Claptrap, [[AscendedExtra playable]] in ''VideoGame/BorderlandsThePreSequel,'' creating cannons and turning into a small pirate ship.

* Several classes in ''VideoGame/MassEffect3'' have omni-blades, disposable blades flash-forged by a user's omni-tool for melee combat.

* Several Warframes possess powers along this line in ''VideoGame/{{Warframe}}'', such as Excalibur's Exalted Blade or Ivara's Artemis Bow. These weapons are modded separately at the Arsenal screen, and have the same mod capacity as a normal weapon with a Catalyst installed.

** The Maidens of the Seasons can forge weapons out of elemental forces; they typically prefer one element over another, but can use any. [[spoiler:After Cinder gets the ''full'' Fall Maiden's power, she doesn't bother with the bow, but still forges blades out of fire. In their battle, Raven (who was secretly the Spring Maiden) forges a sword out of lightning]].

->''"None of your skills will be of any use against a Servant. In that case, at least imagine it. If it is an opponent you cannot match in real life, defeat it with your imagination. If you cannot defeat it yourself, imagine something that you can defeat it with."''

* In ''WebComic/YokokasQuest'', Yokoka and Mao wear ribbons which they can transform into weapons at will. Yokoka changes hers into a sword, and Mao changes his into both a whip and a dagger.

** Glaistig Uaine has [[PowerCopying a number of powers]]; at one point, she uses a material-creation power, a telekinetic power, and a [[GadgeteerGenius Tinker]] power to create weapons out of thin air.

* Vergil from the ''Videogame/DevilMayCry'' series DoesNotLikeGuns (he thinks they lack elegance) and instead creates magical energy swords that launch themselves at his enemies.
