** The "Disrobe" spell from the "Book of Erotic Fantasy". Although it doesn't affect magical items, it's still a good way to score a [[Defeat by Modesty]].
** Lolth, the cruel goddess of the drow is known for harshly punishing her subjects, either by death, demanding them as sacrifice, or sentencing them to a [[Fate Worse Than Death]] as a drider. However, [[Evil Has a Bad Sense of Humor|Lolth being Lolth]], one punishment that might be considered lenient is an omen where drow at a very public event is suddenly engulphed in violet flames; this fire doesn't hurt them, but destroys their clothes, leaving them naked and mortified. This may even happen at a religious ceremony where participants aren't allowed to leave early; a wise drow will take this humiliation in stride.
** Magical traps that left the victim naked and helpless were common in modules written by [[Gary Gygax]], including ''[[Tomb of Horrors]]'' and ''[[Dungeonland]]''. He was known to have [[Killer Game Master|something of a sadistic streak.]].
** In editions where they appear, [[Leprechaunleprechaun]]s can polymorph non-living objects, and seeing how they love playing jokes on mortals, it's certainly possible they would use it this way.
* One of the joke items featured in an April issue of ''[[Dragon (magazine)|Dragon]]'' was the "Snazzy Ring", a magical ring that would makegive the wearer's armour take on the appearance of an [[Gorgeous Garment Generation|elegant gown or suit]], while still providingwith the same level of protection...

* In ''[[Changeling: The Dreaming]]'', it is often easier to target spells at someone's clothes than at the wearer. This can go very wrong or very right, depending on your intentions. A popular example is to keep someone out of a battle by making their clothes (and hopefully them) superjump away from it.
* In the Third Edition ''[[GURPS]]'' supplement "Mixed Doubles", a superhuman called the Liquidator can liquefy matter... including another super's costume. The background stated that he hadn't used this ability on a female metahuman yet, and that the likely result would be a) outrage from her and b) considerable coverage from the media.
