** The Drive itself: The eponymous Drive (AKA Ring Drive, Cruz Drive, Singularity Drive; colloquially called "the ring") is what allows ships to go [[FasterThanLightTravel FTL]] by generating a naked singularity to "pinch" space. However, its inventors (the Continuum of Makers) consider it a holy artefact not to be tampered with overmuch (fixing a nanosecond of lag took 29 generations and a heretic), and TheEmpire keeps it from being studied by anyone but the Royal Family to protect their powerbase. However, once these strictures are bypassed, people begin using the Drive for much different applications:
*** The Ring can be used as a PlanetDestroyer by pinching the space occupied by planets. The bigger the ring, the bigger the pinch, and the bigger the chunk squeezed off the world.

* ''Fanfic/ToServeInHell'': The Cutie Un-Marking spell was invented to remove perceived inequalities between ponies. The resistance against Nightmare Moon discover that it has the much more useful effect of making un-marked ponies much more difficult to track using magic and [[CannotDream unable to dream]], which is useful when their enemy is a DreamWalker tyrant.

** One particularly hilarious combination requires Grafdigger's Cage, which is a card that prevents your opponent from playing cards from anywhere ''but'' their hand, so no playing a card from the graveyard, or from exile, or from their library; what they have in hand is their only option. There are several enchantment cards that prevent you from drawing a card at the start of your turn, in exchange for being able to play from the top of your library, with the caveat that you play them on yourself. There are ''also'' cards that let you swap one of your permanents with an opponent's permanent. If you manage to get Grafdigger's Cage on the field, and swap the "skip your draw phase" card to your opponent's control (with a "target opponent discards their hand" for extra spite), your opponent will be unable to do...well, anything: they can't draw a card, and they can't play a card from anywhere other than their hand, where they can't get a card. There are ways around it[[note]]card draw abilities from permanents already in play on your opponent's side, for example[[/note]], but most of the time, they will be unable to actually play Magic because of the interaction.
