** [[Clock Punk|Mechanical gears]] and optics ([[E. T. A. Hoffmann|ETA Hoffmann]], [[L. Frank Baum]]).
** Electricity, particularly [[Lightning Can Do Anything|lightning]]. (''[[Frankenstein's Monster]]'')

Valdemar'') Do note that as originally understood (at least by its creator), Mesmerism was not hypnosis, but rather an intricate ritual combining mysticism and electricity to adjust what Mesmer called a person's "animal magnetism", or "[[Life Force]]"; it was not until later that it was realized that all of his electrical apparatus and magnetism theories were pointless, and he had instead accidentally invented hypnosis in the experiments/rituals.
** Vivisection (''[[The Island of Doctor Moreau]]'')
