* ''[[Code Geass]]'' has Lelouch test out via experiment the constraints of his Geass. The show mostly sticks to the established rules, but does leave vague the duration of a command. |

** The duration is "however long it takes to follow the command"; this has created a bit of [[Fan Wank]] as some believe that {{spoiler|the "Live!" Geass on Suzaku means that he will eventually try to become immortal}} despite [[Word of God]] saying it only triggers when {{spoiler|Suzaku is in a potentially fatal situation and tries to give up the will to live.}} |

* For all the magic and curses flying around in ''[[Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle]]'' and ''[[×××HOLiC]]'', it is made indisputably clear that the one rule of that multi-verse is that the dead don't come back. No matter what you pay. Well, at least in the manga. |

* ''[[Hunter X Hunter]]'' does this with the Nen-system. Going further, while Nen itself has its own rules and limits, specific abilities can also have rules of their own set in place by their creators. Examples of such rules can be placing limitations on how and when an ability can be used. Further, due to the general rules of Nen, setting such limitations can make the actual ability far more powerful. For example, protagonist Kurapika creates powerful attacks with the limits that they can only be used against the Phantom Troupe and he will die if he mis-uses them. These limitations allow him to take on the most physically powerful of his enemies one-on-one without difficulty. |

* The rules of [[Immortality]] in ''[[Baccano!]]!'' are made clear cut in episode 7 (and even earlier in the books). The rules in the book are elaborated on a bit more (primarily because at least two immortals have been spending 200 years testing the constraints), but the principles are still the same: |
