== Anime and Manga ==
* How the Digidestined received their Digimon and powerups (in the form of eggs on stone pillars) in ''[[Digimon Adventure 02]]''. Also used at least once in ''[[Digimon Frontier]]''.
* In a episode of ''[[Ranma
* The Escudo weapons from ''[[Magic Knight Rayearth]]''.
* Mai gets her [[Mons|CHILD]] in ''[[Mai-HiME]]'' by removing a sword from a stone... wall.
Line 118:
* The Rusty Sword in ''[[Secret of Mana]]'', which is revealed to be the Mana Sword after handing it over to a dwarf every now and then.
** This is actually a variation: only the chosen one (the Boy) can remove the sword from the stone it's been left in, but once that's done, ''anyone'' can use it as a weapon, as the Girl and the Sprite are able to become quite proficient with it. However, during the final battle, ''only'' the Boy can wield the true Mana Sword.
* The Moon and Star Ring of Nerevar (''[[The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind]]''), that legends say could only be used by the reincarnation of the Chimer king Nerevar ( {{spoiler|this is you}}). It's never demonstrated if this actually true or not, and some moments imply it may be a myth and that anybody can wear the ring, as people are less eager to claim to be Nerevarine if they believe there's a magical artefact that can kill them.
** Certain other moments implies that being the Nerevarine is more a matter of ''becoming'' than something you are born as -- if you fulfill the requirements to be the Nerevarine, and follow what the prophecy says the Nerevarine is supposed to do, then you ''are'' the Nerevarine, and so can wear Moon-and-Star. In other words, only the Chosen may wield, but the Chosen is partly self-chosen.
* The Crusader's Relics (and weapons) can only be wielded by the Divine Crusader in ''[[The Elder Scrolls Four]]'' expansion Knights of the Nine. In addition, if the wielder gains two points in infamy then the artifacts can not be used until the pilgrimage is undertaken again.
