Line 13:
* A similar feature occurs in ''[[Avatar (film)|Avatar]]''. The floating islands have waterfalls constantly flowing from out of them, despite not having a source for such water. In this case, there is a [[Hand Wave|somewhat logical reason given]] for such behavior that does not [[Did Not Do the Research|justify the amount of water created]]
* [[The Bible]] contains what is among the first examples of this trope, whereby Moses strikes a stone and [[God]]'s power creates a waterfall from it.
* ''[[Call of Cthulhu (tabletop game)]]'' supplement ''Terror Australis'', adventure "City Beneath The Sands". The supernatural creature known as Power Boy can cause a spring to come out of a rock just by sticking his rangga (a ceremonial staff) into the rock.
* ''[[Dungeons and Dragons]]'' has a decanter which mimics this trope. Though not the cheapest or most common of items, wizards can craft them without too much difficulty, making them less desirable than some on this list.
* [[Classical Mythology|Greek Mythology]]
** One legend involves Athena and Poseidon dueling over the patronage of the city that would become Athens. As part of said duel, Poseidon creates a sea from a rock.
** Another legend involves the winged horse Pegasus flying up to the top of Mt. Helicon and striking a rock with his hoof, creating a stream of water. It became known as the ''Hippocrene'', literally the "Fountain of the Horse"
Line 21:
* The Aqualith in ''[[Legend of Legaia|Legaia II: Duel Saga]]''. A stone found in the protagonist's hometown, it is actually {{spoiler|one of three stones needed to access the Source Forge, the beacon of creation in the world}}
* In [[The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword|The Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword]], the town of Skyloft has a magic island spring that floats just above and supplies the river with an infinite amount of water.
* In ''[[Series/The Miraculous Mellops|The Miraculous Mellops]]'', the Moonlings had limited water and created a pill that replenishes a container of water up to 50 times. It got into a bowl of fruit punch and they needed to clean it out.
* Such an object appears in ''[[Mousehunt]]''
* Lala-Ru's pendant in ''[[Now and Then Here and There]]'' is sought after for its ability to produce large amounts of water.
