Line 550:
* In ''[[Mage: The Ascension (Tabletop Game)|Mage: The Ascension]]'' it's explicitly stated that any Mage using Forces to bend light in order to make themself invisible cannot see using normal vision and needs to actively use secondary spells in order to see. Fortunately, most Mages will have other options available, including but not limited to using Forces to see infra-red, sensing the Matter around them (although they'd still be liable to walk into a tree), or using Mind magic to see through another person's eyes. Or use Correspondence 1 and just cast their senses around them.
* ''[[Magic the Gathering (Tabletop Game)|Magic the Gathering]]'''s "wish" cycle shows several people wishing for skills, items, or powers from [[Genie in A Bottle|Djinn]], with the flavor text noting that they neglected to wish for abilities that would let them properly utilize those things.

* In ''[[Scion (Tabletop Game)|Scion]]'', the most basic power available from any given Purview is usually the required secondary power needed for the rest of the powers to either work as intended or work as intended without killing the user. For example, the first dot in Fire and Frost makes the user immune to heat and cold, the first dot in Water lets the user breathe underwater, the first dot in Sky makes the user immune to falling damage, and the first dot in Death lets the user see and interact with ghosts.
** The books actually lampshade and handwave it with Epic Attributes, which allow supernatural and divine beings to be super-strong, super-fast, super-resilient etc. [[Clap Your Hands If You Believe|Due to the way the Scion universe works]], and due to the fact that all supernatural beings are bound by Fate, which represents (to a point) the collective subconscious of humanity, beings with Epic Attributes physically act not like they scientifically should, but how ''the common person'' thinks they should. The common person doesn't know that it's impossible to lift a bus without breaking it no matter how strong you are- so a demigod with Epic Strength can do that.
