[[OlafsHammer Olaf\'s Hammer]] used to be a trope describing a similar situation where a plot device was introduced at one point with the authorial intention being that it was just there to be there and then later on the writer realizes they can use it for something that\'s actually plot-relevant. Will Turner\'s sword-throwing trick from \'\'PiratesOfTheCarribbean\'\' is a good example of an Olaf\'s Hammer. The writer\'s initially figured it would just be a fun trick and it wasn\'t until they were writing the scene of Will rescuing Jack that they realized it could actually be a useful one.
