Basic Trope: A kiss that sucks out a person's soul/life-force/youth and kills them.
- Straight: Alice is The Vamp, she uses her French kisses to yank the souls out of the men or women she seduces which kills them.
- Exaggerated: Alice can blow deadly poisonous kisses that spread contagious plagues and can kill several people at once.
- Downplayed: Alice's kisses can knock people out for a few hours.
- Justified:
- Alice is a soul-sucking vampire/Succubus.
- Alice has been cursed by a witch to kill whoever she kisses.
- Inverted:
- Alice can heal others with her kisses.
- Alice's kisses can bring back the dead.
- Alice passes out or falls into a coma every time her lips touches another's.
- Subverted: Alice kisses Bob with her poisonous kisses. Instead of passing out or dying, Bob pulls a clear protective film from off of his lips.

- Averted: Alice's kisses have no effect on another person's living status.
- Enforced: "We want to make Alice kill someone in a... seductive way."
