Crystal Prison: Difference between revisions

* Cristalline in ''[[Marvel 2099|X-Men 2099]]'' can produce crystals out of thin air. Apparently she can structure them to allow air through, so when she is in good mood her enemies will be trapped in a block of cristal but relatively unharmed.

* The first book in the [[Franco Belgian Comics]] series ''Chroniques des pays de Markal'' is about a stone with this power.

== Literature ==

* In ''[[Dark Lord of Derkholm]]'', [[Corrupt Corporate Executive|Mr. Chesney]] keeps the demon that allows him to send Pilgrim Parties to Derk's world trapped inside what resembles a clear paperweight. {{spoiler|He ultimately ends up taking the demon's place in the final step of his well-deserved [[Humiliation Conga]].}}

* The [[Cosmic Keystone|Keystones]] of ''[[The Seventh Tower]]'' act as this.

* ''[[Magic: The Gathering]]'': In the ''Mirage'' storyline, Mangara was trapped in amber, as depicted on the card [http://magiccards.info/mr/en/257.html Amber Prison].

* In ''[[Thundercats 2011]]'' this is [[Parodied Trope|Parodied]] in "Omens Part Two," when The [[Lizard Folk|Lizard]] Army uses a [[Treasure Is Bigger in Fiction|giant]] geode as a [[Trojan Horse]] to enter Thundera, having been stuck waiting in there for two days, not counting the trip ''to'' Thundera. One complains to his general about the smell after being freed.
