** The method used to better the character would be unhealthy,or even deadly, to them in the long run. Cynthia's medicine causes neural degeneration, or Daniel doesn't have the money to live normally except by going back to crime on account of no-one hiring him.

** Cynthia is eventually taken to an asylum where she goes mad for real. The original pills help her to function, but they stop working after a few months.
** Daniel makes sure that all the contents of the wallet are in place and skims a little off the top, justifying it to himself as a public service. Daniel grows overly attached to these ill-gotten gains and backtracks into serious robbery again.

'''Basic Trope''': A character gains a good trait (or loses a bad one), but the changes disappear when some time has passed.
* '''Straight''':
** Cynthia starts taking a new brand of meds which enhances her concentration and even her intelligence... However, she stops taking them for whatever reason and reverts to her old self.
** The thief Daniel [[HeelFaceTurn decides to turn over a new leaf]] and reintegrate into society. But after one too many people refuse to forgive him for his actions in his past, he thinks "ThenLetMeBeEvil" and goes back to his old ways.
* '''Exaggerated''':
** Cynthia could always keep herself under control as long as she took her meds; now, she is a CloudCuckooLander even while on them.
** Daniel would always let people go after taking their money; now, he kills people if it means taking their stuff.
* '''Downplayed''': The character does keep some of the changes, albeit not all of them.
* '''Justified''':
** The method used to better the character would be unhealthy,or even deadly, to them in the long run.
** The character became an outcast after the change, and [[IJustWantToHaveFriends feels lonely]].
** On the flipside, the character got a ''lot'' of unwarranted attention due to the change, and [[IJustWantToBeNormal would rather just be part of the crowd again]].
* '''Inverted''': A character temporarily turns for the worse, only to snap back at the end of the plot.
* '''Subverted''':
** Cynthia is just ObfuscatingInsanity.
** Daniel is seen robbing someone in the street... Then gives an old person their wallet back. You see, he started using his experiences as a thief to undo the damage other thieves have made.
