Line 255:
{{quote|If during the last thousand seconds you have received any High-Beyond-protocol packets from "Arbitration Arts," discard them at once. If they have been processed, then the processing site and all locally netted sites must be physically destroyed at once. We realize that this means the destruction of solar systems, but consider the alternative. You are under Transcendent attack.}}
* A lesser example than some of these, but nonetheless: in ''[[Tales of Kolmar]]'', the [[Our Demons Are Different|Rakshasa lords]] must have their true names spoken for them to be summoned. Demon summoners are practiced in this and manage, but a non-summoner overhearing is driven to vomit. Late in the series, we see that the sound of the Demonlord's laughter has the same effect.
* ''The Dictionary of the Khazars'' by Milorad Pavic had the Princess defended by runes painted on her eyelids that kill anyone who sees them, i.e. looks at her face close by while eyes are closed (she didn't mind the night light, apparently). This worked fine until she got as a gift mirror that reflects with delay of a few seconds (thus allowing to see oneself in motion and from the angles normally unavailable with a simple mirror). Three guesses at how this ended.
