Line 26:
* In a twist, any previously-used object can work like that in the hands of a high-level Psychometrist in the ''[[Zettai Karen Children]]'' universe. Shiho (A [[Power Levels|Level 7]] Psychometer) easily wins a fishing-competition despite having never fished before, simply by using her powers to 'read' the fishing-rod, instantly knowing how best to use it - and later gains [[Implausible Fencing Powers]] when handling a 5000-years old saber, since she can copy the abilities of all its previous users.
* In ''[[Guyver]]'', the Gigantic upgrade takes the form of a large piece of Creator technology which can be swapped between the Guyvers. It actually began as an escape pod for a Creator ship which was physically and mentally tied into Sho while it crashed.
* ''[[ZeroThe noFamiliar Tsukaimaof Zero]]'' presents this in the form of familiar runes. When a mage summons their familiar, the contract of servitude is manifested by a set of runes imprinted on the familiar. This can grant the familiar abilities or attributes they previously lacked, such as near-human intelligence, the ability to speak, or, in the case of the eponymous character, the ability to wield any weapon with ease.
