Line 10:
As a reveal trope, consider this a '''Spoiler Warning!'''
{{
== [[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]].
Line 20 ⟶ 19:
== [[Card Games]] ==
* ''[[Magic: The Gathering]]''
** Gerrard
** 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".
Line 29 ⟶ 28:
* In ''[[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
* 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.
