Line 141:
* In ''[[With Strings Attached]]'', all the four struggle with their magic when they first get it, especially Paul, and they undergo a continual learning process throughout the book.
* Subverted in ''[[Drunkard's Walk|Drunkard's Walk II]]'', when multipowered main character Doug Sangnoir temporarily gives [[Bubblegum Crisis|Lisa Vanette]] telekinesis -- when she wants to try something novel with it, the ''power itself'' tells her how to do it.
* Similarly subverted in ''[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/8215565/1/Knowledge-is-Useful-But-Power-is-Power Knowledge Is Useful, But Power Is Power]'', a ''[[Harry Potter]]'' fic by "DisobedienceWriter". Harry discovers that after stretching and developing his magical abilities to a certain point, ''Magic itself'' seems to be reaching out to him and telling him how to do more and more advanced magic.
Line 247 ⟶ 248:
* The full capabilities of the Monster in the Darkness from ''[[The Order of the Stick]]'' have never been revealed. The in-comic reason is speculated to be that he's too... childlike to know his full potential.
** Xykon implies once or twice that he actually knows the exact limitations and capabilities of the Monster in the Darkness, even if the Monster doesn't; he's repeatedly stated that the Monster is his trump card, and he has no intentions of bringing it out until its planned debut, or until things go completely out the window, whichever comes first.
* Even though she gained her alternate form some time ago, Mye from [https://web.archive.org/web/20130729040412/http://www.drunkduck.com/Charby_the_Vampirate/ Charby the Vampirate] doesn't know most of the forms abilities. While she did suddenly learn she could teleport during a fight, and apparently has much greater strength, she still hasn't gotten around to learning to fly and mentions the fact to herself every time she gets stuck in a situation where flight would get her to safety.
* In ''[[Sparkling Generation Valkyrie Yuuki]]'', the main character Yuuki is selected to be the next Valkyrie, and is flung into several fights with no idea how to use her new powers. She's forced to more or less play it by ear early on. That's not the least of her problems, though...
* In ''[[Freak Angels]]'', [[Cloudcuckoolander]] Arkady's apparent hobby is figuring out just ''what'' she and the other titular psychics can do with their powers. She's recently perfected teleportation. {{spoiler|1=It's implied that all the Freak Angels doing this together is what caused [[The End of the World as We Know It]].}}
