* The Words of Awakening in ''[[Madlax]]'', which induce homicidal insanity.

* Skuld from ''[[Ah! My Goddess]]'' gains the ability to forcefully "print" her words on people or things. While not very powerful, it appears to involve enough force to stagger people. Both Urd and Keiichi are frequent victims of this, with Skuld's favorite insults for them being "idiot" and "pervert", respectively.

* This appears several times in [[To Aru Majutsu no Index|Toaru Majutsu no Index]]. In its first form, magicians must first state their magic name to begin using their actual magic. We later see {{spoiler|Index in her Johan's Pen mode}} utter the words "Eli Eli Lama Sabachthani?" literally "God, God, why have you forsaken me?" to power up a spell specifically to destroy Stiyl's [[Elemental Powers|Flame Summon]]. Towards the end, this trope is again invoked when {{spoiler|Index}} interferes with the control spells in place on a golem simply by uttering [[Gratuitous English|English letters]] in certain sequences. This scene also borders on a [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]].

* An interesting variation in [[Mx0]]: Fumi Izuno's magic object is a calligraphy brush, and her ability is that everything she writes with it acquires reality. For example, in the last Magic Class Match, she and another student are seen fighting a golem, and in a given moment, she writes the word "Defense" in the air with her brush; the words immediately turn into a magic shield that stops one of the golem's fists in front of her.

* ''[[Aphorism]]'' is about a [[Extranormal Institute|supernatural high school]] where each student must choose a kanji character whose meaning, [[Your Mind Makes It Real|combined with the power of the student's imagination]], will later be used as the student's weapon in various battles and trials.
