* The ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/series/3534838 DC Multiverse Crossovers]]'' series features an interesting twist regarding the Phantom Zone crystal of Earth-21 (''Series/{{Smallville}}''); if used out of its Earth of origin, it does not send the target to the Phantom Zone, but instead displaces them to a random alternate Earth.

* Invoked in ''ComicBook/BatmanTeenageMutantNinjaTurtles''; when the Turtles are trapped in the DC Universe, analysis of their blood reveals that the mutagen that transformed them is losing its potency as it's incompatible with the laws of physics in this universe, putting the turtles on an unknown time limit to find a way back to their universe before they revert to normal turtles.

* On his [[http://grrm.livejournal.com/147038.html blog,]] Creator/GeorgeRRMartin contributed to an online debate on whether a squad of characters from his own works could defeat a squad of ''Literature/TheWheelOfTime'' characters in Westeros. The end is decided by this trope, when Rand essentially runs out of magic. Tyrion explains that the pool of magic in Westeros is very scant compared to Randland, because, "We have our own Creator here...a crueler one than yours, I fear. In his domain, the only pattern is the one men make themselves. There are no ta'veren. No man is ever safe." Of course, there is major authorial bias in this case.
* Among the major activities of Website/StarDestroyerDotNet is what they call a [[UltimateShowdownOfUltimateDestiny versus debate:]] theorizing what would result if two sides from different continuities fought it out. One of the rules is that each side's AppliedPhlebotinum and super powers work just as well in the other side's setting as it does in their own. So, for example, a [[Franchise/StarWars Jedi]] can still access the Force in the Franchise/StargateVerse, and a [[TabletopGame/Warhammer40000 psyker]] is not rendered powerless by landing in the ''TabletopGame/ForgottenRealms'' (although he might prefer the alternative). This also extends to theorizing that (from one thread) the [[Literature/NewJediOrder Yuuzhan Vong]] would be just as resistant to the Warp as they are to the Force.
* This is the big reveal at the end of ''WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall'' storyline "Contest of Champions": [[spoiler:the winners don’t return for round two because the items they obtain for winning don’t work in their dimension. Linkara realized this early on and is proven when Linksano uses the Infinity Gauntlet Linkara won to no effect]].

* In ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13198941/2/Tripping-Down-the-Rabbit-Hole Tripping Down the Rabbit Hole]]'', when Gabriel (''Series/{{Supernatural}}'') arrives in Lux (''Series/{{Lucifer|2016}}'') after being nearly killed by Apocalypse World Michael, he discovers that he now possesses the powers and limitations of the "local" angels, such as his wings being actually visible and no longer able to smite demons by snapping his fingers. Unfortunately, Gabriel soon learns that angel blades are still a valid weapon when he discovers that someone has smuggled a collection of blades from his universe to this one, particularly when an unknown party is melting those blades down to make bullets and has already killed the "local" Gabriel.

* ''Music/{{Gloryhammer}}'': In the album "Legends from the Galactic Terrorvortex", Angus [=McFife=] XIII has travelled into an alternative dimension and, when he fights Zargothrax in "The Siege of Dunkeld", finds that the [[ImmortalBreaker Hammer of Glory]] is powerless in this dimension. According to the [[https://www.reddit.com/r/Gloryhammer/comments/13ykurx/gloryhammer_full_timeline/ official timeline]], this is "due to science." He has to find the Legendary Enchanted Jetpack and fly into outer space to re-empower the hammer.

* ''Super Snail'' from [=QCPlay=] Limited, does a form of this in each country having a power specific to that country that's unique to it and only useable while in that country. An example is Ninja magic being the power for Yamato and with it Super Snail will regenerate per battle round and can throw a draconic fireball at the beginning of a fight, but when he goes to Cathay, he loses that power and instead must use the Cathay power to summon generals from VideoGame/DynastyWarrior instead.

Compare TheWorfBarrage, i.e. "Your Magic's No Good On Me".

* In ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/27562510/chapters/67417030 The Disappearance of Goro Akechi]]'', the characters of ''VideoGame/Persona5'' cannot use their Personas in [[VideoGame/Persona4 the TV World]], with the exception of Morgana and Futaba (who unlocked hers by meeting with her Shadow and accepting its truth about herself), as their Personas had become Shadows that reveal their darkest secrets. The only way to regain their Personas is by accepting their shadows, just as the Investigation Team [[spoiler:and Haru]] did. It's later revealed that the Investigation Team cannot call upon their Personas while in the Metaverse or in a Palace, as they need to awaken their Spirit of Rebellion to do so.

* ''Fanfic/WhatWouldHaveHappenedIfGokuFellIntoTheWorldOfShuumatsuNoValkyrie'': Discussed. Goku asks Whis for a strong opponent, so Whis opens a portal to the world of ''Manga/RecordOfRagnarok''. Later, when Vegeta and Gohan look for him, Whis reopens the portal, but warns them that some universes reduce your power or even cut it off. He tried to warn Goku, but he didn't pay attention. Fortunately, they learn this does not apply to the ''Record of Ragnarok'' world and they are at full power.

---->'''Agatha:''' Huh. Your magic's no good here. ''[Agatha conjures magic ropes that bind Wanda's hands and legs behind her]'' Didn't you notice? Basic protection spell? One on each wall? No? Nothing? These are [[RunicMagic runes]], Wanda. In a given space, only the witch who cast the runes can use her magic. How do you not know the fundamentals?

* In the 1980s ''The Kid Super Power Hour with ComicBook/{{Shazam}}'' sometimes had episodes where Billy and Mary Batson couldn't transform into their Captain and Mary Marvel counterparts when stuck in another dimension. The usual work around is to say Shazam backwards or other different order and then the kids get their godly powers back.
