Line 20:
** [[Evil Weapon|Bakkoto]] are parasitic weapons that absorb a user's Reiatsu to power themselves, and evolve as they consume more of it. They can only be wielded by a person with Reishi and have organic parts that becomes a part of their user. These weapons can eat their host as they grow stronger, and thus are considered forbidden to use due.
** Fullbrings used by Fullbringers are objects that carry significant meaning for them and can bring their soul out as a unique power. The Fullbring cannot change their abilities nor stop them from growing. They can only bring them to their fullest potential by achieving a final form.
* ÄRMs from ''[[MÄR]]'' are an assortment of mystical objects within the land of MÄR-Heaven with different purposes. The weaker ÄRM can be used by anyone. They are also used as weapons and were the leading force in the first Marchen War. An ÄRM can have different abilities and can be 'upgraded' by installing a magic stone. The power of an ÄRM is related to a user's mental, physical, and magical skills. Magic power is the most crucial, and one can either be born with it or gain it through training. Synchronization with an ÄRM is also needed to bring out its power, which increases as it gets higher.
* The [[Killer Yoyo]]s wielded by the various heroines (all codenamed "Saki Asamiya") of the long-running franchise ''[[Sukeban Deka]]'' are the signature weapons of their specialized undercover police group -- and also serve as their badges and symbols of their authority, having a hidden emblem that can be displayed at a dramatically appropriate moment. Unlike many of the other examples on this page they are completely mundane in origin and function -- they are simply incredibly rare, issued only by the Japanese government, and dependent upon the extraordinary skill of their users.
Line 35:
== [[Literature]] ==
* The Honorblades from ''[[The Stormlight Archive]]''
* The Lenses from [[E. E. "Doc" Smith]]'s classic Golden Age science fiction series ''[[Lensman]]''. These devices were [[Imported Alien Phlebotinum]] paired permanently with their wielders, the titular Lensmen, who acted as a kind of Galactic police force. The Lenses not only granted their owners impressive [[Psychic Powers]], they also acted as an unimpeachable identification of their owners; because of their origins and their permanent bonds with their owners, the Lenses could not be forged and anyone trying to impersonate a Lensman by wearing his Lens would be instantly killed.
Line 76:
== [[Web Original]] ==
<!-- Note: Both Web Original and New Media are for works that originated online. The distinction is that New Media works allow for feedback and audience participation - if a work doesn't allow for this, then it's a Web Original, not New Media. -->
* ''[[Critical Role]]'': [[
* The mechashift weapons possessed by Huntsmen and Huntresses in the world of Remnant from ''[[RWBY]]'' are unique to their wielders (and often are designed and built by them), and are unlike the more ordinary static weapons carried by members of the four Kingdoms' police and military. If someone possesses a mechashift weapon, they are all but guaranteed to be a licensed Huntsman/Huntress or studying to be one.
