[[folder:Anime and Manga]]
* In ''Manga/HikaruNoGo'', when someone is demonstrating exceptional skill in the game, their fingertips glow as they place down the stone. Somewhat [[MundaneMadeAwesome over-dramatic]] for a manga/anime about a ''board game''.
* Another board game example is ''Manga/{{Saki}}''. For starters, the titular character spouts ''lightning'' from her left eye when she puts down a Mahjong tile. One of [[KillerRabbit her most terrifying opponents]] can create the illusion of ''drowning in the ocean'' as she draws a tile. Another turns into cackling PsychoLesbian ''angel'' [''sic''].
* ''Anime/{{Pokemon}}'' likes to use the [[PowerGlows "shining light"]] variety. Any attack involving a body part causes that part to glow, beam attacks charge by SuckingInLines, and anything that's about to explode [[PreExplosionGlow shoots out rays of light]].

* ''Film/DjangoUnchained'': When Django shoots Candie's sister, she's BlownAcrossTheRoom... [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XhyLzMdAqQc at almost 90° to the direction of the bullet]]. No explanation is ever provided.

[[folder: TabletopGame]]
* TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons
** ''TabletopGame/ForgottenRealms'' has a justified InUniverse case. The ''Menzoberranzan'' AD&D2 boxed set introduced "frills" -- bogus rituals, spell components and special effect cantrips made to look as parts of the spell. Drow wizards use this to [[BluffTheEavesdropper mask from unwanted observers]] identities, properties and sometimes nature of their spells. As an added bonus, this misdirects enemy plans based on spying, as under duress the wizard can drop all unrelated act and cast the same spells much faster. And with perverted sense of humor it's worth kissing a frog if your rival will have to repeat it every freaking time while trying to figure out what he does wrong.
*** 3e ''Magic of Faerun'' introduced Spell Thematics feat, which adds some cosmetic feature (like wailing skulls or lightning sparks) to appearance of spells, which makes them harder to identify, and slightly boosts power of tweaked spells.
** 3.5 {{sourcebook}} ''Complete Scoundrel'' introduced something similar for more generic use as "False Theurgy" magical Trick -- using Bluff or Sleight of Hand skill to disguise a cast spell as another (until visible effects, if any, give it away).

[[folder: Western Animation]]
* ''WesternAnimation/AquaTeenHungerForce'': Pretty much anything which Master Shake throws to the ground explodes quietly; it's rarely reacted to, never really commented on, and entirely unexplained.
