== Anime and Manga ==
* The corpse parts in ''[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure|Steel Ball Run]]'' scattered across America, which grant mysterious powers to those who hold them.
Line 75:
* The Cup Of Ankh in ''[[House of Anubis]]''. According to Fabian's book on Egyptian mythology, Amneris took the Cup and hid it inside the tomb of the Pharaoh Tutankhamen. Anubis was angered by this and split the Cup into seven pieces, preventing it's use. Rufus later explains that Anubis and Amneris reached an agreement whereby the Cup could be put together once every twenty five years at a certain hour, but only by a member of Amneris's bloodline.
* A number of ''[[Star Trek: The Next Generation]]'' episodes revolved around re-assembling some piece of phlebotinum scattered throughout the galaxy. The most notable are ''Gambit'', which involves finding the components for an ancient Vulcan weapon, and ''The Chase'', revolving around a search for a secret message hidden within the genomes of life forms from dozens of different planets.
== Tabletop Games ==
* ''[[Dungeons & Dragons]]'' has the "Rod of Seven Parts" (originally known as the "[[Order Versus Chaos|Rod of Law]]", which shattered when used). Each piece has powers on its own, and can point in the direction of the next-longest piece. The more parts are combined, the more powers they grant. Oh, and once more than a couple parts are fitted together, [[Clingy MacGuffin|the owner/user ''can't let go of it.'']]
