* In ''[[~~Harry Potter/~~Harry Potter and ~~The~~ Philosopher's Stone|Harry Potter]]'', Harry and Ron are being strangled by the vines of the Devil's Snare while Hermione is panicking and trying to remember how to combat the plant. She then remembers that the plant shrinks from heat and light. Harry suggests she lights a fire and the brilliant and talented witch, who [[Chekhov's Skill|has been noted as being particularly skilled at creating magic fire]], replies that there is no wood. Ron, as quoted above, manages to scream some sense into her. Justified at that point as Hermione, despite her skill, had spent most of her life as a muggle, whereas Ron had grown up surrounded by magic.

** In ''[[~~Harry Potter/~~Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows|Harry Potter]]'', Hermione gets her own back. Ron panics when {{spoiler|he has to "freeze" the Whomping Willow so they can reach Voldemort's hideout}} and Hermione has to remind him that he's a wizard.

* In ''[[Lone Wolf]]'', you have powers that can be useful in certain situation, but sometimes, the author forgets that the possibility you have that power may exist, and doesn't give you a choice to use the power.

** More commonly, the series has three levels of powers: Kai, Magnakai, and Grand Master. Most of the powers of one tier have lower powered equivalents amongst the lower tier. Similarly, someone of a higher tier always has all the powers of the lower tier, but only a select few of their given tier. This results in your character often being asked if he has a certain power appropriate for his tier (and bad stuff happening if you do not), but the author forgetting that there is no reason the lower tier equivalent - which everyone should have - could not be every bit as effective.
