Leaking Can of Evil	comment	Long, long ago, there existed a terrible evil. The people of the time managed to defeat the evil and seal it away, never to return. There's just one problem: they may have sealed away the being itself, but they didn't manage to completely seal away its power. To be clear, the evil in question has been sealed away, but in a way that allows it to still influence the mortal world, most often in destructive ways. In religious and mythological uses, the evil is usually not aware it has this ability. In fictional stories, especially in the Horror and Cosmic Horror Story genres, it is likely to be aware of its ability to affect the mortal world, and will probably use that influence to facilitate its release. A subtrope of Sealed Evil in a Can. If the evil is Sealed in a Person-Shaped Can, it will usually become this trope in the form of a Walking Wasteland. If the evil is sealed within a physical object, that object is likely to become an Artifact of Doom. Compare Might as Well Not Be in Prison at All, for when this applies to mundane criminals. See also Evil Is Not a Toy, Evil Tainted the Place, Sealed Evil in Another World, Villainous Legacy, and Residual Evil Entity.

Leaking Can of Evil / int_1aacbbc9	comment	Corypheus, the ancient sentient Darkspawn in the Dragon Age series, has been sealed away by the Grey Wardens since the First Blight, but is still able to telepathically enthrall individuals in the general vicinity of his prison, who then devote their lives to finding a way to break him out (which involves trying to kill the Player Character and his/her sibling in the Dragon Age II DLC Legacy). Corypheus is only doing so subconsciously; upon being freed, he seems totally unaware of his Darkspawn nature or even the fact he has been locked away for centuries.

Leaking Can of Evil / int_1beda93b	comment	Contrary to first appearances, Sluggy Freelance's Book of E-Ville does not merely contain a spell for summoning the demon K'Z'K, but has been his prison for thousands of years. His ability to affect the outside world in this state is limited to mental communication (for instance, Talking in Your Dreams), and even that can be cut off if the other soul trapped with him, Farahn, prehistoric King of Mankind, doesn't allow it. Despite the demon verbally ensnaring a few potential dupes over the millennia, it's not until Gwynn acquires the book that K'Z'K's roomie gives him free enough rein to see his release scheme through.

Leaking Can of Evil / int_223c2a48	comment	Calamity Ganon from The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild was locked up in Hyrule Castle for one hundred years. By the time the game proper begins, Ganon has reclaimed enough power to manifest itself as a mass of fog-like corruption surrounding the castle and resurrect monsters during a Blood Moon. Worse yet, there's a very real possibility that Ganon will soon break out of its can and destroy what's left of Hyrule unless Link can put it down for good. At one point, Zelda theorizes that increasing numbers of monsters appearing around Hyrule are a sign that the seal placed over Ganon 10,000 years prior is failing and Ganon's return is imminent. She's right. A few weeks/months later, Ganon does indeed break free, an event which culminates in the 100-year sealing of the game proper courtesy of Zelda herself. Tears of the Kingdom makes this even more complicated: Ganondorf himself was sealed for even longer than that by King Rauru, yet with all the Gloom pooling up far beneath Hyrule Castle it was only a matter of time before something nasty was born from it, hence Calamity Ganon and its Malice. You read that right: Zelda's leaking prison was merely meant to contain the "radioactive spillage" of Rauru's leaking prison.

Leaking Can of Evil / int_28b53408	comment	In First Encounter Assault Recon, the exceptionally powerful and profoundly enraged psychic Alma was having a measurable effect upon the outside world long before her vault was opened, causing general malaise among the people of Fairport - especially the ones who lived nearby. Some of Armacham's less-informed staff members thought it might be some sort of chemical contamination and tested the water for it, of course finding nothing. There was also the matter of the Synchronicity Events, when she managed to touch the mind of Paxton Fettel and he went on a murderous psychic-powered rampage. First time, he was a young boy, so several people died, but he didn't get beyond getting the Origin facility shut down. The second time, he was, as aptly described in a voicemail message you can find, "a highly trained military commander with a telepathic link to hundreds of soldiers that don't think for themselves." The total calamity that this causes kickstarts the first game.

Leaking Can of Evil / int_38c57aa2	comment	The Eberron setting's main cans for sealed evils are varying degrees of leaky: The prisons of the Overlords are variably sturdy, with some of the Overlords having no power to affect the world at all (though they do have cultists/minions willing to work on their behalf). A few are able to affect the world very subtly, mostly by manipulating people, most notably Bel Shalor, the Shadow in the Flame. As they get closer to release, they gain more power - for example, the Wild Heart is able to create new lycanthropes near its prison in the Towering Wood, while dragons behaving like tyrants will lead to them being increasingly influenced by the Daughter of Khyber. The fact that their prisons are often Khyber dragonshards, which don't stop being prisons when shattered, adds new options - the setting's creator has suggested that one origin for a barbarian might be that they're an ordinary soldier implanted with a fragment taken from the cage of Rak Tulkhesh, the Rage of War. The nightmare spirits called quori can't leave their home plane. They can, however, project their minds into mortal dreams, and from there possess people. As the quori have been able to use this method to create an empire and religion in the mortal world, this can is very leaky. The daelkyr may not be able to leave Khyber, but they can move around freely within it and talk to their servants on the surface, and drive the odd mortal mad. Additionally, the can is only binding on the daelkyr themselves; if one creates, say, a new breed of aberration or a disease that twists mortal minds and bodies, that can pass through the seals relatively freely. Khyber itself is, per the setting's Creation Myth, an evil progenitor dragon sealed away through the sacrifice of another (Eberron, which became the world). There are a lot of horrible things in Khyber - for example, the Overlords are said to be its first children - and unless a specific thing has been set up to bind them separately (as in the case of the Overlords) there's not much preventing it from just walking out.

Leaking Can of Evil / int_43576f5	comment	Supernatural: In season four we find out that Lucifer is this trope. Azazel first finds "the crack in his cage" in order to communicate with him; it's implied that Lucifer also made a backup plan that Lilith and Ruby carried out in order to get Sam Winchester to release him. Later, in season ten, we learn that the Mark of Cain was built to contain The Darkness, a primordial force defeated by God and the Archangels, after which God locked it away in the mark. However, the mark began to exert its influence on the bearer, corrupting them into being evil, killing machines. In season fourteen, Lucifer provides yet another take on the trope. After being killed for real by a Michael-possessed Dean and banished to the primordial void where all dead angels sleep forever, his former vessel manages to wake him up with a Prayer of Malice, then teams up with a group of demons still loyal to Lucifer to contact and resurrect him.

Leaking Can of Evil / int_52646e97	comment	In Kamen Rider Blade, the Undead have to be sealed away not just to stop their rampages, but because the Riders can tap into their power. However, the Spider Undead specifically allowed himself to be sealed as part of a plan to take over the body of whomever used the Kamen Rider Leangle powers. He spends most of the series controlling Ordinary High-School Student Mutsuki Kamijo, until late in the series where the Riders (and two Undead with noble intentions) manage to force the Spider out of Mutsuki's body and reseal it properly.

In every episode, the trap door opens and some creature pops out and causes trouble for Berk, the Thing Upstairs' servant. In one episode, Berk tries to nail the trap door shut to put an end to the nonsense, which does little good at all.

Both times it started to leave (once via the Astral Plane, where it ran afoul of the githyanki, and once in the game proper where the Player Character defeats it), it first used various types of minions (undead, Shadow Priests, and an avatar called the Nightwalker) to prepare the way.

He can still grant spells to his worshipers but he can't affect the Prime Material directly and is slowly going (more?) insane. Strangely his co-conspirator Shar seems to gave gotten away scot free. Module WG4 The Forgotten Temple of Tharizdun. Though the evil deity Tharizdun has been sealed away, his power can still affect creatures that enter the title temple if they touch certain places or objects. Module OA6 Ronin Challenge, Episode 6 "Keluh Valley". The powerful being known as the Earth Spider is trapped in the Realm of Mirrors, but it can still communicate with its worshippers in the Keluh Valley. It orders them to look for a woman of the Wood Spirit people so it can marry her and be freed from its prison. Module B3 "Palace of the Silver Princess". Arik of the Hundred Eyes is an ancient, evil being of great power. He was banished to a special dimension centuries ago to be imprisoned for all eternity. However, he has managed to send one of his eyes into the campaign world, where it works to open the dimensional barriers and free him from his imprisonment. The Eberron setting's main cans for sealed evils are varying degrees of leaky: The prisons of the Overlords are variably sturdy, with some of the Overlords having no power to affect the world at all (though they do have cultists/minions willing to work on their behalf). A few are able to affect the world very subtly, mostly by manipulating people, most notably Bel Shalor, the Shadow in the Flame. As they get closer to release, they gain more power - for example, the Wild Heart is able to create new lycanthropes near its prison in the Towering Wood, while dragons behaving like tyrants will lead to them being increasingly influenced by the Daughter of Khyber. The fact that their prisons are often Khyber dragonshards, which don't stop being prisons when shattered, adds new options - the setting's creator has suggested that one origin for a barbarian might be that they're an ordinary soldier implanted with a fragment taken from the cage of Rak Tulkhesh, the Rage of War. The nightmare spirits called quori can't leave their home plane. They can, however, project their minds into mortal dreams, and from there possess people. As the quori have been able to use this method to create an empire and religion in the mortal world, this can is very leaky. The daelkyr may not be able to leave Khyber, but they can move around freely within it and talk to their servants on the surface, and drive the odd mortal mad. Additionally, the can is only binding on the daelkyr themselves; if one creates, say, a new breed of aberration or a disease that twists mortal minds and bodies, that can pass through the seals relatively freely. Khyber itself is, per the setting's Creation Myth, an evil progenitor dragon sealed away through the sacrifice of another (Eberron, which became the world). There are a lot of horrible things in Khyber - for example, the Overlords are said to be its first children - and unless a specific thing has been set up to bind them separately (as in the case of the Overlords) there's not much preventing it from just walking out.

Leaking Can of Evil / int_74f7210c	comment	The Legend of Zelda: Ganon was sealed away into the Dark World by the seven sages in the backstory of The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, but used his evil influence to recruit Agahnim or as revealed by Ganon himself, created Agahnim as a way to escape his seal with limited power. The mage infiltrates Hyrule Castle and sets into motion Ganon's plans to capture the seven maidens and break the seal made by the seven sages. Ganon in Hyrule Warriors. After having his soul broken into four pieces and sealed away in the depths of space and time, he still had enough power to corrupt the sorceress Cia to recover the pieces, allowing for his resurrection. Calamity Ganon from The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild was locked up in Hyrule Castle for one hundred years. By the time the game proper begins, Ganon has reclaimed enough power to manifest itself as a mass of fog-like corruption surrounding the castle and resurrect monsters during a Blood Moon. Worse yet, there's a very real possibility that Ganon will soon break out of its can and destroy what's left of Hyrule unless Link can put it down for good. At one point, Zelda theorizes that increasing numbers of monsters appearing around Hyrule are a sign that the seal placed over Ganon 10,000 years prior is failing and Ganon's return is imminent. She's right. A few weeks/months later, Ganon does indeed break free, an event which culminates in the 100-year sealing of the game proper courtesy of Zelda herself. Tears of the Kingdom makes this even more complicated: Ganondorf himself was sealed for even longer than that by King Rauru, yet with all the Gloom pooling up far beneath Hyrule Castle it was only a matter of time before something nasty was born from it, hence Calamity Ganon and its Malice. You read that right: Zelda's leaking prison was merely meant to contain the "radioactive spillage" of Rauru's leaking prison. The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword reveals that Ganon himself is this to his predecessor, the demon king Demise. Demise might be dead and/or back in his can, but Ganon is the essence of Demise reincarnating throughout time.

Leaking Can of Evil / int_af6a4464	comment	In The Secret World, most of the cans are a bit leaky to begin with, with The Filth, a tarry ooze that causes nasty tentacled growths and even nastier insanity, being the most obvious sign. Some of the sealed evils can influence the world in other ways, too (Aten was able to keep its cult going despite being imprisoned, for example).

Leaking Can of Evil / int_b5a2b326	comment	In The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, Big Bad Dagoth Ur was initially defeated thousands of years ago and his physical form was destroyed. However, he had already used the Tools of Kagrenac on the Heart of Lorkhan, allowing him to ascend to godhood. Over the millennia that the Tribunal, a trio of Dunmeri Physical Gods, ruled Morrowind, he coalesced and returned to a physical form. He ambushed the Tribunal on one of their yearly pilgrimages to the Heart to replenish their divinity and stole two of the Tools. Cut off from their source of power, the Tribunal erected the Ghostfence around Dagoth Ur's citadel of Red Mountain, hoping to keep him contained. Unfortunately, his power has waxed since re-awaking while the Tribunal's have waned, allowing him to spread his influence outside the Ghostfence via The Blight and psychic dreams for his followers, while the Ghostfence is implied to have shrunk from a dome (which kept the Blight mostly contained) to a simple wall (which allows the Blight to be carried outside Red Mountain by winds and cliff racers).

Leaking Can of Evil / int_b8e7bb8	comment	Super Sentai and Power Rangers: Mahou Sentai Magiranger/Power Rangers Mystic Force - N. Ma / The Master spends most of the series imprisoned, but still conscious enough to give orders to his subordinates. The whole bunch of them, in turn, were sealed in the Underworld by the previous generation but a powerful enough magic user can send a few to the human world at a time - just enough for your average monster-of-the-week plot, but not enough for a total overrunning of the world. The same goes for that series' Spiritual Successor, Samurai Sentai Shinkenger/Power Rangers Samurai. The Big Bad is under a seal like the Mystic Force villains - he dries out even faster, enough that he can only last a few minutes in the human world and is weakened for days after attempting it. (Unfortunately, he's powerful enough that a few minutes is all he needs to utterly hand the Rangers their spandex-covered asses.) Like the first Big Bad of Magiranger and Mystic Force, his ultimate goal is to get around the sealing spell so he can smash.

"Pyramids of Mars": Despite being paralyzed in an Egyptian tomb, Sutekh is able to control the archaeologist Marcus Scarman, who entered the tomb, and his mummies even when they are working in England. Finally, he focuses his power through Marcus to destroy the Eye of Horus keeping him imprisoned, even though Marcus has to travel to Mars to achieve this. "The Curse of Fenric": Fenric, despite being sealed in a flask, has been manipulating events for the past two seasons to free himself and destroy Earth, even transporting people through time. "The Impossible Planet"/"The Satan Pit": The devil himself is imprisoned inside a planet, trying to free himself by possessing members of an exploration base on the surface and their friendly, if creepy alien servants. In "The Witchfinders", the Morax were originally a Sealed Evil in a Can but Becka opened up part of the Morax's prison by chopping down the sacred tree because it was blocking her view, allowing for the bodies of several victims of her witch hunts to be possessed by the Morax. In "Can You Hear Me", although she's unable to free herself, Rakaya is able to send Graham a psychic message asking for help from across space and time as part of the plan to release her.

Leaking Can of Evil / int_c74f2d3c	comment	Diablo: Due to the work of the Archangel Tyrael and a group of humans he trained named the Horadrim, the three Prime Evils, Diablo, Mephisto and Baal, were locked away into soulstones designed to contain their essences and stop them from pursuing the Eternal Conflict onto Sanctuary. Unfortunately, these soulstones don't prevent the Evils from corrupting mortals who have the misfortune to be near their resting places, and all of them end up manipulating said mortals into releasing them, as a result of Izual filling the Prime Evils in on how to corrupt them. The first Diablo focuses on the titular demon, whose soulstone was buried in the catacombs beneath Tristram. Leoric was guided to build his kingdom there by a servant of the Prime Evils, which exposed the king and his people to Diablo's influence. The formerly noble ruler was turned into a twisted madman who tortured and slaughtered his own people. In Diablo II, it's revealed Mephisto's soulstone was buried beneath the headquarter of the Zakarum faith. While this was intended to suppress his influence, it instead resulted in the Zakarum high priesthood becoming corrupted and turning into demons. In Diablo III, all of the Great Evils, both the Prime and the Lesser Evils, get locked into the Black Soulstone, a super-jar for demons. Despite this, their power is such that spells must constantly be cast to prevent their demonic rage from leaking out. In Diablo IV, Donan and his companions sealed the demon Astaroth in a soulstone to end his rampage through Scosglen. Aware of the corruptive influence of the soulstone, Donan then brokered a deal with the Cathedral of Light. In exchange for inviting them into Scosglen, Inarius blessed the fortress constructed over the soulstone to suppress its influence. At the end of Diablo IV, Mephisto is sealed in a soulstone by Neyrelle who then steals it. While her stated motive implies she is attempting to seal the soulstone where it can do no harm, Mephisto is strongly implied to be manipulating her the entire time.

After a tremendously bloody battle, the archmage Erana sealed it away at the cost of her own life. Unfortunately, her seal was not perfect, and Avoozl has had a lingering effect on Mordavia as its power leeches into the surrounding woods. In particular, certain types of magic (particularly teleportation and scrying) don't work properly in the vicinity of the Cave of the Dark One, the woods are increasingly filled with undead monsters, and by the time of the game itself the road into and out of Mordavia has been blocked by a swamp which drowns anyone who attempts to pass it. The Cave also literally leaks a disgusting slime called Grue Goo, which has flooded the surrounding area.

Long ago, the Sorcerer fought the Darkness and sealed it inside a willing human being and used a magical dagger created from a shard of the sword Excalibur to control them. This being became the first in a long line of beings known as "The Dark One" and appeared as a dark mage of unfathomable power and a green scaly appearance only a mother could love. So long as the dagger was held by the forces of good, they could control the Dark One and keep him/her from ravaging the land. Unfortunately, one of the latest Dark Ones held onto the dagger and was instead tempered from laying waste to the world by his remaining humanity embodied by his love for his son and desire to reunite with him.
