Line 111:
* The title villain of ''[[IT]]'' by [[Stephen King]] can be forced into one form if several people all think of it that way at once. {{spoiler|Like a [[Giant Spider]].}}
* There's a German children's book (main character's named Agathe) which involves witches, shapeshifting into cats and a "stay-a-cat-powder".
* In [[Larry Niven]]'s ''[[The Magic Goes Away]]'' series, werebeasts become mode-locked whenever the [[mana]] runs out (but recover their power if they enter another mana-rich area).
** In ''What Good is a Glass Dagger?'', a werewolf is surprised to learn that {{Spoiler|he reverts to wolf-shape in the absence of mana, losing the human part of his intelligence in the process. This has huge implications for his descendants.}}
** ''The Lion in His Attic'' strongly implies that the above applies to all werebeasts.
