Line 42:
** The Book of Darkness is an interesting case, in that the only reason it's an Artifact of Doom is that it's malfunctioning. As it originally was, it was a harmless book meant to store knowledge of magic from all over the universe.
** Fans also like to joke that [[Magitek|Raising]] [[Empathic Weapon|Heart]] is one of these. Especially in doujins, she and Nanoha are prone to unleashing big pink beams of <s> death and destruction</s> love and friendship anytime, anywhere, on anybody.
* In ''[[One Piece]]'', the three Ancient Weapons could count. Constructed in the Void Century, they are the stated reason why the World Government tries to hunt down and kill anyone with knowledge of that era:
** The first, sought by Crocodile in the Alabaster Arc and CP9 during the Water 7 arc, is '''Pluton''', a battleship of some sort with enough raw power to sink an entire island. While it's current location is unknown, an even worse example of this Trope might be the blueprints. They were preserved in case someone had to build a weapon to counter the original Pluton, but someone must have overlooked another possibility - someone might use them to build a ''fleet'' of them. Franky eventually eliminated this possibility by burning the blueprints, but the original Pluton is still out there somewhere...
** The second is '''Poseidon'''. This was originally a power obtained by a mermaid who made a deal with someone named Joy Boy (possibly a wizard of some sort) and was passed down to her heirs. It allows the current heir to communicate and command the Sea Kings, effectively giving said heir an army of powerful [[Sea Monster]]s under her command. Shirahoshi is the current heir, and the power has, to date, given her little but grief from villains like [[Sky Pirates| Vander Decken IX]] and [[Axe Crazy| Caribou.]]
** '''Uranus''' is the third weapon; unlike the other two, nothing is known about it thus far.
* The Mesoamerican stone mask from ''[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure]]'' is the main cause for most events of the series, especially the bad ones, due to its ability to turn the wearer into a vampire when splashed with blood. Later, the Stand Arrows fill a similar role.
* ''[[Ann Cassandra]]'': the [[Mask of Power|Cassandra Mask]]. The mask's power lets its user warp the future to cause more disasters {{spoiler|in exchange for becoming the mask's puppet and eventually dying. The mask then compels the nearest person to pick it up and use it.}}
Line 53 ⟶ 57:
** Sakura states in the second season that the tree's purpose of granting wishes may be inherently damaging as it disrupts the struggle wish is central to human life, thereby disrupting the process of human life itself. Essentially, since people don't know what they want granting it to them will inevitably go awry.
* This is the entire point of [[C³|Cubex Cursedx Curious]], where the series revolves around the idea that a cursed item eventually becomes intelligent and [[Voluntary Shapeshifting|able to take human form]]. And being cursed is ''[[Dark Is Not Evil|just as]] [[Non-Malicious Monster|traumatic]] [[The Woobie|to them]]''.
