* In ''[[Bleach]]'' anyone with even a hint of spirit energy is even tastier (and easily sensed) by [[The Heartless|hollows]], since they'll absorb their power when they eat them. The protagonist starts off having a small amount, but no way of using it. Eventually leading to an accidental [[Emergency Transformation]] when he absorbs Rukia's powers after she's injured protecting him and his sisters. |

* ''[[Warhammer 40000]]'': Any Psyker risks summoning a giant monster from the Warp every time s/he uses a psychic ability. In fact, that's a common way of [[Total Party Kill]] in ''[[Dark Heresy]]''. In the tabletop game, anytime a psyker uses their powers they have to make a "Perils of the Warp" roll, and if they fail they get attacked by a demon that will, at best, simply make their brain explode and at worst, will inflict a massive psychic explosion. |

* In ''[[Our Little Adventure]]'', when Julie used the Magicant Pendant for the first time, it sent out a huge beacon of light. Not only did the [[Big Bad|Emperor]] see this beacon of light and knew what it was, but some imperial mooks who saw her use it [[Boss Battle|engaged]] Julie and her group the next day...so it doubles as [[Encounter Bait]]. |

* In ''[[Monster Girl Encyclopedia]]'', "spirit energy" is the fundamental source of magic. It's also the basic energy that all of the setting's [[Cute Monster Girl|Cute Monster Girls]] absorb and so are able to track. Which means spellcasters are prime targets for any monster-girl that detects their presence. Though, fortunately, monster-girls in this setting no longer [[I'm a Humanitarian|eat humans]], preferring instead to love and "[[Rape Is Love|love]]" them. |
