* Caster's Noble Phantasm in ''[[Fate/Zero]]'' is Prelati's Spellbook, a tome with a covering made of human skin. It's a self-powering prana generator and allows the user to summon [[Eldritch Abomination]]s. It's also called the R'lyeh text, as a [[Shout-Out]] to the [[Cthulhu Mythos]]. It can also allow Caster to {{spoiler|[[Fusion Dance|merge with the book]] in order to summon a gigantic [[Eldritch Abomination]]}}. Is it any wonder that Caster is so absolutely insane? |

* The Poneglyphs in ''[[One Piece]]'', possibly. While the World Government claims the information written on these mysterious steles is dangerous (which is technically true, as they do their best to kill anyone suspected of being able to read them) others like Nico Robin and Gold Roger before her believe the information is more benevolent. Not nearly as portable as the standard tome, the Poneglyphs are huge monoliths scattered among the islands across the world, their secrets incomplete until all of them are discovered. (Robin usually copies the writing using a rubbing so she can decipher it later.) They are known to hold information about the Void Century, a time period the World Government seems intent on keeping everyone in the dark about for unknown reasons, along with information on the three Ancient Weapons. Four specific steles called the Road Poneglyphs hold information on the location of Laugh Tale, the island where [[MacGuffin Title|Gold Roger's legendary treasure]] is supposedly hidden. |

** Eventually, {{spoiler|this is subverted; the Poneglyphs were built by [[The Messiah| Joy Boy]], a great hero from the Void Century and the most dangerous threat to the World Government, with the intent of detailing his return. In Chapter 1043 of the manga it is revealed that Luffy himself is the reincarnation of Joy Boy. It seems the Poneglyphs are far more benign than the World Government claims.}} |
