Self-Guarding Phlebotinum: Difference between revisions

{{trope}}

For some reason or another, you can't get to the [[McGuffin]] because it produces a forcefield or has a forcefield surrounding it. Possibly due to it being a [[Loyal Phlebotinum]] or [[Empathic Weapon]]. Maybe there is an enchantment upon it that causes it to repel a certain type of being, such as demons, or maybe it's a curse that will let you touch the object but causes adverse side effects, such as death.

== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==

* ''[[Colossus: The Forbin Project|Colossus the Forbin Project]]'': The titular [[Master Computer]]'s main defense is that it was built inside its own radioactivity spewing nuclear reactor.

 

* The [[Charmed]] Ones' [[Spell Book|Book of Shadows]] won't let you touch it if you happen to be evil.

** There were also various amulets and charms which protected against evils including crystals that when placed in a circle formed a cage of energy that one couldn't cross, whether to get in or out.

** And yet again from ''[[Charmed]],'' the [[Tome of Eldritch Lore|Grimoire,]] the [[Evil Counterpart]] to the Halliwell's Book of Shadows would not let any good being come in contact with it.
