Line 1:
{{trope}}{{Needs Image}}
The heroes find themselves in a situation that would be difficult for normal mortals; but for them, it should be relatively easy. They have standard [[Applied Phlebotinum]] for this situation...
Line 5:
Not to be confused with [[Forgotten Phlebotinum]], where the characters seem to have forgotten that it even ''exists''. This trope is for times when the characters remember it, but simply don't have it handy.

▲{{examples}}
== Anime and Manga ==
* A ''[[Fairy Tail]]'' omake has Lucy and Happy go try to exterminate poisonous rats in an old mansion. However, their only tool is a fly swatter, as Happy is in spaz mode and Lucy forgot the keys she needs to use her summoning magic.
==
* At one occasion in ''[[Kyon: Big Damn Hero]]'', Kyon forgets his [[Badass Longcoat|coat]] and [[Morph Weapon|weapons]] after leaving for school in a hurry. It becomes critical when {{spoiler|the Combine attack the school}}, and causes Nonoko's temporary [[Magical Girl]] upgrade.
Line 19:
== Literature ==
* ''[[Labyrinths of Echo]]'' by Max Frei have most of the action in the magically-strongest region of a magic-rich world.
** Speaking of alchemy, pre-[[Ban on Magic|Codex]] locals were spoiled more with really powerful magic, so a few sneaky people (including Juffin and one major antagonist) occasionally blind-side everyone not with even more fancy powers, but weird drugs from another continent (even when similar results can be achieved via local magical tradition, like with invisibility, limitations are different, and a pill works on anyone).
== [[Live Action Television]] ==
