Line 34: * In [[The Wheel of Time]], the Guide noted that in the Age of Legends, many people had themselves tested for aptitude in [[Functional Magic\|the One Power]], but failed and never took a second test, leaving their hidden potential untapped. * In ''[[Wiz Biz\|Wizard's Bane]]'' by Rick Cook, hacker (in the sense of ace programmer) Wiz Zumwalt is called into a parallel universe where magic rules, but he knows no magic, to the intense disappointment of the apprentice of the wizard who summoned him. {{spoiler\|He discovers the underlying rules of magic, and learns how to program it, making him the greatest magician ever.}} * This is one of the big themes during the first half of ''[[Harry Potter and ~~The~~the Deathly Hallows (novel)\|Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows]].'' Even though Harry knows what he ''needs'' to do in order to kill Voldemort, Harry has no earthly idea over how to go about achieving this.. His only source of information are ~~'''~~''very~~'''~~'' cryptic clues left by Dumbledore. This veers into a [[Deconstruction]] when Harry has a falling out with Ron, [[Broken Pedestal\|who's pissed because he expected Harry to actually have a gameplan.]] == [[Live-Action TV]] == Line 43: == [[Western Animation]] == * ''[[9~~\|Nine~~]]'': Happens with the soul talisman, {{spoiler\|rather than putting the necessary knowledge in their heads, or even writing it on a piece of paper, the inventor leaves cryptic clues on what needs to be done to stop the brain with 6, the talisman to stop the brain on the floor besides 9 when he awakes, the and the instructions on what to do in a locked box, which doesn't get found until the end of the movie.}} * ''[[Transformers: The Movie]]'' '86. The Matrix is to be used by the Chosen One to light the Autobots' darkest hour. Problem is, no one knows who the chosen one is, and they just assume that it is whoever the leader of the Autobots happens to be at the time. They also don't know exactly when their darkest hour will be, which isn't helped by the fact that in this movie the Autobots day can be summed up in 3 words: [[It Got Worse]]. This results in Optimus Prime being killed, and Ultra Magnus getting killed while attempting to use the Matrix. Eventually it is revealed that Hot Rod is the one to open the Matrix, and their darkest hour is when Unicron tries to destroy Cybertron. ** Although another example may come in the [[Transformers Generation 1\|television series]], and the two part "Return of Optimus Prime." In that case, the "Darkest Hour" in question was the release of the Hate Plague, which not only endangered the Autobots and Decepticons, but all sentient life in the cosmos. In that case, the Matrix was also used to light their Darkest Hour. It's just that the chosen one was dead at the time, and had to be revived before he could use the Matrix to save the day. And in fitting with the prophecy where "All are One," at the end the hostilities between the different factions were resolved. At least for the time being.
