Line 1: {{~~work~~trope}} {{quote\|'''Gerrard:''' (''To Yawgmoth'') You're not my Hanna!\|''[[Magic: The Gathering]]'', [http://magiccards.info/ap/en/27.html Jilt]}} Line 10: As a reveal trope, consider this a '''Spoiler Warning!''' {{~~tropelist~~examples}} == [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==▼ ▲== [[Anime and Manga]] == * Happens in ''[[Hellsing]]'' (manga and OVA) when {{spoiler\|Seras}} is able to shatter {{spoiler\|Zorin Blitz's}} illusion/MindRape powers. This is shortly followed by what is hands down {{spoiler\|Seras's}} [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]]. * In ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha A's]]'', the Book of Darkness traps Fate inside a [[Lotus Eater Machine]] but Fate soon realizes [[Stoic Woobie\|that this reality is way too good for her]] and shatters it. In process, it is revealed that she had a special illusion-breaking spell [[Crazy Prepared\|ready for just such occasion]]. Line 20 ⟶ 19: == [[Card Games]] == * ''[[Magic: The Gathering]]'' Gerrard {{spoiler\|does a [[Face Heel Turn]]}} in order to win Hanna back from the dead. As he's going to give her {{spoiler\|Urza's head}}, however, he suddenly realizes she's nothing but an illusion created by [[Big Bad\|Yawgmoth]]. He shatters the illusion by ''[http://magiccards.info/ap/en/27.html slaying]'' the fake Hanna. The trope is represented mechanically in cards like [http://magiccards.info/m10/en/57.html Illusionary Servant] and [http://magiccards.info/m11/en/69.html Phantom Beast]: targeting them with a spell or ability breaks the illusion, causing them to vanish. == [[Literature]] == * Happens to [[Ciaphas Cain]] whenever his aide Jurgen is around to prevent warpcraft from happening. Including rescuing him from a Slaaneshi witch using [[Glamour]] and from a Chaos warlord with a [[Compelling Voice]]. * ''[[Bionicle]]'': in "Time Trap", Vakama shatters the illusion by stopping to believe it after firing a Kanoka disk at "Nokama", which just phases through "her". * Happens in ''Shade'' by Andrew Plotkin * In ''[[Harry Potter and ~~The~~the Deathly Hallows (novel)\|Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows]]'', Ron manages to fight back the illusions created by the Horcrux and is finally able to destroy it. == [[Live -Action TV]] == * Happens literally in the ''[[Star Trek: The Next Generation]]'' episode "Frame of Mind", in which Riker realises he's actually a prisoner in a virtual reality, and the illusion literally shatters like chunks of glass. * An episode of ''[[How I Met Your Mother]]'' had a comedy variant of this, in which the characters started pointing out each other's flaws. Each "revelation" was accompanied by a sound of glass shattering as the "illusion" was shattered.
