Line 240:
* In ''[[Betrayal at Krondor]]'', the Lifestone plays this role.
* In ''[[Ultima IV]]'', one can acquire an item called the "Skull of Mondain" (the villain of the very first ''[[Ultima I|Ultima]]'') that can instantly destroy your enemies. However, it also destroys your [[Karma Meter]], to the point of making the game [[Unwinnable]]. Particularly sneaky, since the notion of a [[Karma Meter]] was new at the time.
** [[Ultima VII]] brings us the Black Blade, a sword forged to devour souls and slay the unslayable, a demon bound within and cursed to never leave the Avatar's hand. [[They Wasted A Perfectly Good Plot|Except when it does in the next two games, and then the sword never returns.]]
* This is a recurring theme in ''[[Warcraft]] III''.
** In the Human campaign, the runesword [[Meaningful Name|Frostmourne]] (a clear <s>knockoff of</s> [[Homage]] to [[Elric]]'s Stormbringer) curses Arthas.
Line 321:
* ''[[Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne]]'' has several. First and foremost, the Magatama - demonic parasites/symbiotes used as combination of armor and spellbook, capable of transforming humans into half-demons. This ability alone is enough to make them inscrutably dangeous, and considering the [[Satan|apparent]] [[Xanatos Gambit|maker]], this can't be a good thing. There are also several cursed items called Deathstones, slivers of misfortune and death, used in [[Fusion Dance|devil fusion]] to summon the Incarnations of Death as servants, and can only be found as you progress in the [[Hell|Labyrinth of Amala]].
* The [[Cthulhu Mythos|Nomicon]] of the [[Rance]] Series.
