The phenomenon where powers, magic, appearance, and other attributes change when going from one world or another. A common example is an [[Ordinary High School Student|average person]] finds themself in [[Otherworld|another world]]. whereIn this new world, they may come across learning they have superpowers or an item that can grant them one. After being sent back to the real world, the person would have no powers. However, the nature of the other world would have an [[Super Empowering|empowering effect]] on people or certain items. Characters can use [[Phantom Zone|Phantom Zones]] in a world where their powers don't work, but this is temporary. This trope involves different worlds that characters can access through teleportation or portals. In the case of being [[Trapped in Another World]], characters may become normal when [[Closed Circle|they find a way back home]]; well, [[I Choose to Stay|if they even want to go home]]. Other attributes can change involving this effect, such as appearance, tangibility, mentality, etc.
 
[[Heavyworlder]] is a subtrope more common in [[Sci-Fi]]. See also [[HAD to Be Sharp]] for adaptations or training forced by harsh environment (natural or unnatural) on its inhabitants.

== [[Tabletop Games]] ==
* An inverted example from ''[[d20 Modern]]''{{'}}s "Urban Arcana" setting: monsters from ''[[Dungeons & Dragons]]'' fall to Earth as "Shadowkind". Monsters thatwho are large physical combatants aren't special on their home world. They, buthowever, pose the greatest danger in the "real" world due to the high density of civilians, weapon restrictions, and the lower power level of heroes (especially heroic magic users). This is especially true of anything with damage reduction that requires magic to bypass it -- in ''D&D'' one is expected to have a magic weapon by about level 4 and can find ways to have one temporarily from the first level,. butStil, in ''Urban Arcana'' any kind of magic weapon is exceptionally rare and likely archaic even if you find one.
