Capital Letters Are Magic: Difference between revisions

* Used frequently by Katherine Kurtz in her [[Deryni]] works to distinguish magically-enhanced things/processes from analogous ordinary ones (healing vs. Healing, veil vs. Veil). Also used in particular phrases coined to describe magical objects and processes, such as Mind Seeing, Truth Reading, Truth Saying, Transfer Portal.

* More 'official' than 'magic, but ''Cryptonomicon'', by [[Neal Stephenson]], has a passage in which the main character navigated a small island. It is so small, in fact, that there is only one of most things-hence titles such as 'the Car', 'the Street', and 'the Squeegee'.

** This could have been the name of the forest, though, in which case it would have been justified.

* The [[Sci Fi]] Channel's miniseries ''[[The Lost Room]]'' is based around a series of about one hundred items called Objects that possess strange properties. Objects featured include The Key, The Pen, The Glass Eye and The Bus Ticket.
