* One opponent in ''[[Flame of Recca]]'''s [[Tournament Arc]] managed to temporarily steal Recca's ability to summon his flame dragons. Setsuna, already a saucy and rather disobedient dragon, promptly asks why the hell he should listen to some new guy and fried him in annoyance.
* In ''[[Dragonball Z]]'', [[Quirky Miniboss Squad]] leader Captain Ginyu trades bodies with Goku. This is fairly ingenious, because he waited until he was weakened and nearly defeated by Goku before trading. And to make it even better, he inflicted a severe wound to his own body (punching himself through the chest) immediately before making the switch. However, he couldn't get full power out of Goku's body, because he doesn't know his powerup technique, the Kaio-ken. Unfortunately for him, Vegeta then shows up and beats the snot out of him before he gets it to work.

* Michikyuu Kanae in ''[[Kyon: Big Damn Hero]]'' never had a chance to learn how to slide properly. {{spoiler|[[Fridge Horror|In hindsight, it's probably better she didn't work out how it works.]]}}
* ''[[Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality]]'': Harry spends several chapters conducting scientific experiments to figure out how Hogwarts works. In fact, he concocts a big series of experiments to have Hermione perform... {{spoiler|And then quickly has to scrap the lot once the first one shows his fundamental assumption was completely wrong.}}
* When, in ''[[Shinji and Warhammer40K|Shinji and Warhammer 40 K]]'', Shinji develops ungodly powerful psychic abiltiesabilities {{spoiler|to thwart Sahaquiel}} it not only completely destroys his ability to pilot Principio Eternus but makes him highly dangerous to everyone and everything. He then spends a chapter or (in a story where the chapters are long enough to be entire seperateseparate stories themselves) being taught to limit them to a more manageable level by some monks. As proof that [[Tropes Are Tools]], this arc is often criticised for being a classic [[Wacky Wayside Tribe]].
* 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.
