{{examples}}
== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* In ''[[Outlanders]]'', Kahm gives Tetsuya the ability to understand her alien language with a kiss. Though later they cast an area-affect version of the spell, probably so Kahm didn't have kiss the entire [[Fish People|Nuba tribe]].
* In ''[[Revolutionary Girl Utena]]'', Anthy would kiss Utena's sword (which she had just pulled from Utena's chest) to "abandon her body and protect the sword". [[Freud Was Right]], indeed.
* The 'Kiss Of Life' from ''[[UFO Princess Valkyrie]]'' is both this and [[A Magic Contract Comes with a Kiss]]. Specifically, when Valkyrie first uses the Kiss Of Life to save Kazuto by injecting him with half her soul, it's a case of a kiss contract... but subsequently, after she's wound up in [[Sleep Mode Size]], she could 'reconnect' with the missing half of her soul and temporarily regain her magical powers by kissing Kazuto again - which would be another Magic Kiss.
 
== [[Comic Books]] ==
* Starfire of the ''[[Teen Titans (Comic Book)|Teen Titans]]'' can learn any person's language with a touch, but she chooses to do it with a kiss because it's [[Ms. Fanservice|more fun that way]].
 
== [[Fan Works]] ==
* Similarly to the ''Oz'' example below, the deity going by the name "Wetter Hexe" places a Celestial Mark on Douglas Sangnoir -- and later, on [[Bubblegum Crisis|Lisa Vanette]] -- by kissing their foreheads, during the events of ''[[Drunkard's Walk]] II''.
 
== [[Film]] ==
* ''[[Superman II]]''. The "[[New Powers as the Plot Demands|kiss]] of [[Laser-Guided Amnesia]]" Superman gives to Lois Lane at the end of the movie.
* In the [[Lindsay Lohan]] film ''[[Film/Just My Luck|Just My Luck]]'', the main characters can swap their Born Lucky and Born Unlucky status with each other by kissing.
 
== [[Literature]] ==
* Glinda gives Dorothy a kiss which marks her as [[Protective Charm|under the protection]] of the Witch of the North in ''[[The Wonderful Wizard of Oz]]''.
* The [[Fate Worse Than Death|Dementor's Kiss]] in ''[[Harry Potter (novel)|Harry Potter]]''.
 
== [[Live -Action TV]] ==
* Cordelia gets Doyle's vision power when Doyle kisses her in ''[[Angel]]''. She later also passes a vision to Angel that way.
 
== [[Tabletop Games]] ==
* Succubi and Incubi in ''[[Dungeons & Dragons]]'' (all the way to the 1st Edition) have an energy drain attack delivered though either a kiss or a hug.
* Both [[Forgotten Realms]] [[sourcebook]]s and novels by Ed Greenwood had spellcasters delivering touch-spells with an extra kink. Magic Missile Reflection spell in ''The Seven Sisters'' was called "Shalantha's Kiss" because its inventor was ''always'' casting it on her adventuring band like this. Elmara in ''The Making of a Mage'', trying to keep things silent, hits a surprised opponent with a Fleshflame spell - a kiss so hot that when it ended the smoke trailed from that guy's ears, literally. In ''Elminster In Myth Drannor'' Symrustar Auglamyr triggered a pre-set spell much the same way.
Line 42:
* [[Freedom Force]]: Eve's Kiss is so powerful that make enemies have a temporary [[Heel Face Turn]].
 
== Webcomics[[Web Comics]] ==
* In ''[[Homestuck]]'', this is a SBURB game mechanic. If a player dies (and if they have an intact dreamself), they can be revived if another player kisses their corpse within an unspecified time limit (if time runs out, the wounds propagate to the dreamself, killing them too).
* ''[[Chuckle-A-Duck]]'' shows [http://chuckleaduck.com/comic/pucker-up/ this] how it is.
* ''[[Oglaf]]'' has several variations, including [http://oglaf.com/frog-3/ magic prank version] and "[http://oglaf.com/banthram/ loathsome beast]" (SFW pages).
 
== [[Western Animation]] ==
* In ''[[Teen Titans (animation)|Teen Titans]]'', Starfire can learn new languages with a kiss, which makes her the [[Team Face]]. The comic book version could do it with any touch but usually used the ability with a kiss, but it was [[Adaptation Distillation|distilled]] to just kissing in the animation.
