Capital Letters Are Magic: Difference between revisions

{{trope}}

''Capital letters were always the best way of dealing with things you didn't have a good answer to."''|'''The Electric Monk''', ''[[Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency]]''}}

 

* White Wolf seems to be in love with this trope, and any RPG they publish will have multiple instances of this. Aside from the ''[[Exalted]]'' examples already listed above, we have the Beast and Vitae from Vampire, the Wyrm, the Weaver, and the Wyld from Werewolf, the Second Breath and the Wyld again from Exalted, Legend, Fate, Knacks, Birthrights, and Scions from Scion, and numerous other examples.

** Lampshaded in the nWoD ''[[Mage: The Awakening]]'' rulebook intro:

* From a Naruto [[Fanfic]]: "Capital letters were very useful when dealing with Gaara. They helped to distinguish between sand, which got in your shorts, and [[Calling Your Attacks|Sand]], which could kill you."

* ''[[Geneforge]]'': the Shapers create and modify living organisms by Shaping.
