* ''Manga/DeathNote'': The eponymous notebook is a book used by shinigami to kill mortals and claim their life force for their own. It is possible for humans to use these notebooks to kill humans (and Ryuk [[ItAmusedMe helpfully]] includes a brief list of rules for their use), but doing so to trivially kill people seems to inevitably erode one's sanity and morality, and any mortal who uses a Death Note to kill someone will eventually be killed in turn by the notebook's original owner by writing that mortal's name.

* The titular Constance Verity from the ''Constance Verity'' Trilogy keeps a personal hoard of unusual objects from her adventures in her apartment, including a book-shelf full of grimoires, the last gold coin of the Last Leprechaun King, a cursed idol that induces vampirism, a petrified snake that grants wishes, an alien ray gun, a part for a time-machine given to her by her future self for reasons she'd need later, etc. After she has her spell lifted in ''Literature/TheLastAdventureOfConstanceVerity'', the first thing she does when she gets home is pack all of them up and sends them to various allies and acquaintances that would get more use out of them than her.
