Line 144:
* [[Crapsack World|Predictably]], this shows up in ''[[Mortasheen]]'', especially with healing spells.
* ''[[Magic: The Gathering]]'' has plenty of cards and effects that have a cost in health.

** Similarly, [https://web.archive.org/web/20080605051252/http://ww2.wizards.com/gatherer/CardDetails.aspx?&id=144 Channel] is a direct-example of this trope, allowing you to trade life for mana. It was a vital part of the Channel/[https://web.archive.org/web/20080212015738/http://ww2.wizards.com/gatherer/CardDetails.aspx?&id=197 Fireball] combo, one of the first known [[One-Hit Kill|First Turn victory hands]].
** The ''New Phyrexia'' set introduces "Phyrexian mana" (the symbol for which looks a bit like phi ɸ), which can be paid with either one mana of the appropriate colour or 2 life.
* For the most part, whenever a card effect in [[Yu-Gi-Oh! (Tabletop Game)|the ''Yu-Gi-Oh!'' card game]] requires a cost to activate, it's generally one of two things: a discard from your hand or deck or a payment of life points. Considering that the loss of either resource in their entirety means game over for you, this is very much a Cast From Hit Points scenario.
