Power Gives You Wings/Playing With

Basic Trope: A character with special abilities gets a free set of wings to go along with their latest powerup.
 * Straight: Morgana finds the Light Prism and unlocks her Super Mode, complete with a pair of angel wings sprouting from her back.
 * Exaggerated: Xander taps into all of his power for the Final Battle and sprouts eight wings.
 * And the wings aren't made of feathers, but chainsaws.
 * Downplayed: The wings Morgana grows when she unlocks her Super Mode are far too small to allow flight. In fact, they're hardly noticeable.
 * Justified: Her Super Mode is an avian form.
 * Inverted: Morgana is a Winged Humanoid who loses her wings when her powers manifest.
 * Subverted: When Morgana goes into her Super Mode, she doesn't actually grow wings.
 * Double Subverted: ...until the climax of the fight when she uses all her power.
 * Parodied: Xander gains so many wings that he falls over, unable to stay aloft.
 * Morgana hasn't actually found the Light Prism, but is able to achieve the exact same effect by duct-taping cardboard wings to herself.
 * Zig Zagged: Getting a power up gives you wings, except those are just stylized energy swirls in the Transformation Sequence, but a second upgrade makes them permanent, except the Bag of Spilling makes you lose them.
 * Averted: Morgana and Xander's powerups don't come with wings.
 * Enforced: "Wings look cool, so let's give her a pair of them!"
 * Invoked: Xander adds wings to his armor, hoping that it gives him a boost of power.
 * Defied: Once Morgana becomes strong enough to pick a Super Mode, she chooses one without wings.
 * Discussed: "Uh oh, Xander's new One Winged Angel form has more wings! He must be getting stronger!"
 * Played For Laughs: Morgana has trouble getting used to her new wings, and they get in the way frequently, keeping her from being able to go through doors or narrow corridors.
 * Played For Drama: Xander has a long and terrifying Transformation Sequence, complete with constant screaming and writhing while the heroes recoil in horror.
