* 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.
* In ''[[World Trigger]]'',
** One powerful type of Triggers is called Black Triggers, created by people with high levels of
* Mystickers from ''[[Blazer Drive]]'' are stickers that have extraordinary power when stuck on a surface and activated with a finger's trace. Anyone can activate a Mysticker, but there are people called Blazers who can control their powers by sticking them on their bodies. Suppose a Mysticker gets stuck on an average person's body; the power will activate on the person like an Ice Mysticker would freeze them.
* ''[[Beet the Vandel Buster]]'''s [[Empathic Weapon|Saiga]] are weapons Busters can manifest when they master [[Elemental Powers|Divine Power]]. They are manifestations of a Buster's soul, and each Saiga has a unique power based on its user that falls under one of the five types of Divine Power. If the Saiga is damaged or destroyed, their Buster can become unconscious.

* The rings of the Green Lantern Corps in [[DC Comics]] act as weapon, transport, and badge of authority all in one for their wielders. Semi-sentient artifacts created by the Guardians of Oa, each ring will only function for its designated user (or a proxy/successor designated by that user).
** There are other Lantern Corps that are on the Emotional Electromagnetic Specturm. Each color is emotion-based: red

* [[Energy Weapon|Lightsabers]] from the ''[[Star Wars]]'' franchise are the traditional weapons of Jedi and Sith that can easily slice through flesh and most metals. They are weapons that Force-users are trained to use and are made by their user when trained and when they are ready to retrieve a kyber crystal (gems connected to [[Background Magic Field|The Force]]). Younglings are sent to the

** Fell Arms from Tales of Vesperia is a series of weapons that are said to have spawned from a fourteen-headed monster or at the height of civilization as weapons of untold power. They can resonate with each other, which can discern an ordinary weapon from another.
** Soma from Tales of Hearts are tools from the Age of Stones, and the method to make them is lost. People who wield Soma are called Somatics and can form a connection called a Somatic Bond. Each tool manifested is different based on the user, such as one taking the form of a sword while another would be an ax.
* [[Living Weapon|Blades]] from ''[[Xenoblade Chronicles 2]]'' are immortal weaponized life forms that can link to people called Drivers. A person can become a Driver if they resonate with the Core Crystal of the Blade. They come in rarities,

* Tools from ''[[Paranatural]]'' are supernatural items that Spectrals use the power of the [[Our Ghosts Are Different|Spirits]] that inhabit it. Each tool has its own form and superpower, some of which may complement each other. A tool is created when a Spirit is on its last leg and resides in an item to recover strength. Recovery is quicker than a Spectral with the right spectral energy color. The spirit can subconsciously draw a spectral to him and create a symbiotic relationship. As the spirit absorbs spectral energy, they heal while the spectral gains access to their powers.
* National Treasures in ''[[God of High School]]'' are items from human history that have gained fame and are known for their power. [[Only the Chosen May Wield|They have a will and choose who is worthy of using them]]. They can be summoned to their rightful owner and telekinetically controlled. If the user has Charyeok related to the National Treasure, it can amplify the power. For example, if a person had Siegfried as their Charyeok, the power would increase when they were the worthy wielder of Balmung.
* ''[[Tomb Raider King]]'': [[Living Weapon|Relics]] are artifacts connected to histories, mythologies, and fiction. They can take many forms, like jewelry, books, plants, or weapons. They are housed in Tombs, which contain many dangers, and they are conquered when a person connects with them. Some are hidden throughout the world until they find a compatible human. A person needs Talent to use a Relic's power, which falls into three categories: Sociability, Dominance, and Compatibility. Sociability is forming a healthy relationship with a Relic. Dominance is demanding obedience with a Relic. Compatibility is having a strong affinity with a Relic and user as if they were made to be together.

<!-- 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]]'': [[Forged by the Gods|Vestiges of Divergence]] are ancient but powerful artifacts from [[Götterdämmerung|The Calamity]] during the Age of Arcanum. Though some are sealed, hidden, or destroyed, they are scattered worldwide. These Vestiges have their own powers they can grant their user. [[Evolving Weapon|They can grow with their wielder and awaken sealed powers with determination, time, and personal growth]].
* 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. Huntresses and Huntsmen customize their armaments to match their fighting styles and, where appropriate, [[Personality Powers|Semblances]]. They can channel their [[Life Energy|Aura]] into them,

* Shen Gong Wu from ''[[Xiaolin Showdown]]'' are magical objects made by Grand Master Dashi to combat Heylin villains. They each have a unique power that can be activated by calling out their name and are undetectable unless activated. If 2 or more people are touching a Shen Gong Wu while holding their own, they can call the titular showdown while wagering their own Shen Gong Wu.
* ''[[Miraculous Ladybug|Miraculous: Tales of Lady Bug and Cat Noir]]'': Miraculouses are magical jewelry connected to a Kwami that can transform a person into a
