Not the Intended Use	comment	The aversion of the control the developers have on the players. Basically, the player finds ways to play the game that the developers and designers did not intend. Usually a Game-Breaker, it often leads to Gameplay Derailment, but not always: in some cases, it can become an Ascended Glitch, or is considered "fair" in some way, for example if the intended use is at least just as useful, and there is some limit on how frequently you can use the unintended mechanic. note Like in the Time Outs in Sports example below. Does not apply to mechanics that are deliberately flexible in ways meant to cover things the creators/developers/etc. didn't necessarily think of, unless it either goes so far as to break intended mechanics or goes way beyond what any reasonable person could have expected. For example, a character creation tool making a character that plays well for gamers of all stripes probably wouldn't qualify. If, said character had graphics or stats that bugged the game, or initiate some form of Arbitrary Code Execution, then it almost certainly counts. In Tabletop Games, the discovery of a Game-Breaker via Not The Intended Use usually leads to the Obvious Rule Patch, especially in tournament-level play. Often used by speed runners and other Challenge Gamers. Can overlap with Good Bad Bugs, assuming that said bugs have some sort of gameplay benefit. Subtrope of Emergent Gameplay. Can possibly overlap with Heart Is an Awesome Power and Lethal Harmless Powers. See also: Weaponized Exhaust, Recoil Boost. Contrast Useless Useful Spell and Mundane Utility. Also contrast Fake Difficulty, caused by control or other design problems. When an element is intentionally fudged in the player's favor, it's an Anti-Frustration Feature. Fun for Some is a variant of this trope where certain forms of media that were not created for entertainment is seen as such by some. Periphery Demographic is a related trope, which can be summed up as "Not The Intended Demographic (but it's popular with them anyway)." Unconventional Food Usage is a subtrope. Even though this trope is most prominent in video games, it can appear in other works as shown below. See also MacGyvering for using things other than what they were designed for, though that trope is more focused on putting together makeshift physical contraptions from seemingly random parts while this is generally more about less tangible things like game mechanics.

Not the Intended Use / int_1c649ab3	comment	In The Rising of the Shield Hero, Slave Crests function as a Magically-Binding Contract between master and slave. When applied to someone, they become physically incapable of disobeying their master's orders. If they try to disobey the order anyway, the crest gives the slave a magical electric shock until they do whatever it was that they were told to do. During a court trial, a Slave Crest can be applied to a witness with the judge as their master, who then orders the witness to "tell the truth". This would make the Slave Crest shock the witness if they lied in court. This application of a Slave Crest is how Malty's False Rape Accusation against Naofumi gets dismissed; Malty is such a Compulsive Liar that she can't help but lie in court, even after being told what the Crest would do and being shocked repeatedly from lying to the judge. Malty is eventually asked point-blank if Naofumi attempted to rape her; when Malty says that he did, she's zapped by the Slave Crest with such intensity that she's knocked flat on her back. Since it's clear that Malty is lying, the charges against Naofumi are dropped.

The original plan, which requires all four torpedoes to detonate beneath the ship simultaneously, is ruined when pursuing aircraft manage to destroy two of them. Izetta exploits the versatility of her telekinesis by using the remaining two as improvised smart missiles; one arcs over to destroy the ship's plane elevator, and the other flies into the hole and seeks out the fuel line.

Not the Intended Use / int_28311661	comment	TierZoo, a video series that treats nature and wildlife like an MMO known as Outside and puts animals into in-universe Character Tiers, has an episode all about this called "Abusing the Game's Physics Engine. In it, several player builds (animal species) found ways to use skills in certain ways that the developers didn't intend to: The Trap Jaw ant has fast and powerful snapping jaws that allow it to be great at combat, but the lack of jumping legs makes it have poor mobility. It can however snap its own jaws on the ground to propel itself into the air, not unlike a Rocket Jump. Many beetles have a headbutt ability to push opponents off the tree branch they're on. The Click Beetle uses it without a target, and the force of this propels it into the air. The Cuttlefish's color changing has a primary purpose in camouflage. It also uses this for hypnosis via rapidly undulating its color, causing other aquatic animals to "crash" by "messing with their graphics engine" and allowing the cuttlefish an easy meal. Most Crustacean builds have a powerful pincer grab, but their abysmal intelligence means that most of them would be unable to develop ranged combat. Unless it's the Pistol Shrimp, who specced so much into grab power and speed that it can create a shockwave by targeting the water in front of it.

Not the Intended Use / int_3040b425	comment	Sword Art Online has Outside System Skills, abilities that weren't programmed into the game that players created for themselves. The most well-known and oft-used of these is "Switch", where one player attacks with a Sword Skill, then an ally attacks the offset opponent with a Sword Skill of their own while the first attacker recovers. Kirito has a unique skill <<Dual Blades>> from the game Sword Art Online. When he got out of the game and started playing another game called Alfheim Online, he lost the skill but managed to use it by chaining one-handed abilities with each of his hand, controlling both of his hands separately by using muscle memory and calculating his skill use timing with the skill cooldowns. It was not supposed to happen at all, but he does have the excuse of having the best reflexes in Sword Art Online (which is why he got the aforementioned unique ability) and had to learn how to fight efficiently due to being a solo player. He used the blade his character got during its creation in Gun Gale Online (another thing that was not supposed to happen) to deflect bullets shot by other characters with help of their own targeting markers. After returning to Alfheim Online, he started using his blades to deflect spells as well. One character in Sword Art Online: Lost Song is nominally a Leprechaun character who can somehow also dual wield. It turns out that this ability is due to their races' natural ability to utilize any races' weapons temporarily for the purpose of crafting/strengthening them — and the ability is actually multi-wield — as in their OSS, Thousand Swords.

Normally, the Wild Weasel weapons pack still allows the Gun Sniper to be a sniping machine, but her iteration just adds even more guns and missile pods, including two oversized gatling guns, each normally belong to the much larger and bulkier Red Horn, and those only usually use just one of those!

Phase has the power over his body's dimensional density to "phase" through an object much like Marvel Comics' Kitty Pryde. If he becomes solid or super-dense within an object, he disintegrates the intersecting mass. Sure, it hurts to disintegrate concrete, but hearts and brains are made of squishier stuff. One of the only characters with the same variation of density warping is Tinsnip, a virtually unstoppable professional assassin. Chaka's intelligence and creativity has allowed her to find uses for her Ki mastery that no one would have thought possible. Her Ki-boosted backrubs make sense. But, retraining her cranial and facial muscles on the fly, to allow her to talk with her jaw wired shut, was probably not in the ability's original write-up.

Not the Intended Use / int_55c20cb5	comment	Overlord (2012): Part of the fun is seeing typical fantasy spells used in creative ways. One early example is Ainz providing two Summon Goblin Army scrolls to a village he'd taken a shine to, to protect them from attacks once he left. Once he was gone, the girl he provided them to used them while there were no enemies around at all... and had the army teach the villagers to defend themselves and assist in designing and building fortifications. After the incident with Shalltear being brainwashed by unidentified forces with a World Item, Ainz orders his followers to have a World Item equipped whenever they leave Nazarick. Not so much for their effects, which are extremely varied, but simply because having a World Item makes you immune to other items on that level. In the New World, Death Knights can destroy a city singlehandedly. They've yet to demonstrate such a feat, but Ainz uses them to impress visitors (the Empire has one chained underground and their best mage can't control it) by having half a dozen act as waiters when refreshments are brought out to visiting diplomats. Slimes are able to dissolve just about anything they wrap themselves around. Ainz uses one to keep his skeleton (he's a lich) clean.

She eventually realises that the arms are not just pulling the target down, they're actually using a form of intangibility — meaning that she can have them drag her through any solid surface, up to the limit of the spell's range (a single cast lets her travel 150 meters per 100 skill levels). She still occasionally uses it in combat, but she primarily keeps it for the ability to travel long distances through the ground.

In an attempt to avert Squishy Wizard tropes, though, they were given the ability to use their sorcerous might to reduce a bit of incoming damage. In second edition (where their ability to do so was particularly powerful), players quickly realized this was an extremely efficient defensive tool and caused the Twilight's to become better warriors than the Dawn Caste who were designed for that role (and whose special ability is a bit of a let down).

Not the Intended Use / int_611c72dc	comment	In the Star Trek novel The Kobayashi Maru, this is possibly the real point of eponymous (and originally Trope Naming) Unwinnable Training Simulation. Everyone who has "beaten" the Kobayashi Maru test has been a Grade-A badass. The method they use pretty much defined their career. Kirk conned the system like the improvising madman he is, programming a backdoor that allowed him to cheat (since the simulation cheats as well), but most of his named crew have taken it as well. Sulu went the diplomatic route and left the Kobayashi Maru to its fate, justifying it as a trap. The first to ever do it. Mackenzie Calhoun of the Star Trek: New Frontier books actually one ups Sulu by destroying the Kobayashi Maru and warping out immediately. Chekov kept taking out enemy ships until his weapons were gone, then he kamikazed. Took out dozens before that point. Nog "wins" the Kobayashi Maru by taking the simulation into this territory. While doing the test he is tasked with a Romulan ambush. The Romulans hail Nog, starting with the standard "you have entered the Neutral Zone, face the consequences" speech, but before they can finish, Nog says "Name your price". The simulation tries to emulate how Romulans might deal with haggling. However, Nog keeps haggling, taking it to the point where the simulation itself decides this it not the intended use and shuts itself down. Essentially, Nog weaponized the trope to crash the system. Scotty just kept coming up with new engineering tricksnote the Perera Field Theory, if you're curious which mathematically should work, but doesn't in practice (kind of like the theory of igniting the Earth's atmosphere with a nuke — as Scotty knows full well since he was the one who tested it) and the system just kept escalating until the computer actually spawned more ships than actually existed in known space at that time, all warships equipped with offensive and defensive technology that hadn't even reached the prototype stage yet. And it still didn't even slow him down. At that point the examiners shut the damned thing down themselves, perhaps in fear that the simulator was about to go Terminator on them. At the time, he didn't know about the "unwinnable" part of the situation, and when he was debriefed he showed off a dozen or so more tricks he'd come up with while he was waiting. The examiners looked at everything he'd come up with and determined that the only way that the simulation could potentially beat Scotty would be if he spent several days of outwitting it before collapsing out of sheer exhaustion. Scotty then protested that if he had access to an actual engineering room, he could have beaten the simulation. The admiral in charge of the test, not amused by this cheeky solution, boots Scotty out of the command stream... and into pure engineering, which they both know is what he really wants anyway.

In The Way of Kings (2010), Dalinar uses his set to carve a latrine through solid rock, a task which is likely at least a little sacrilegious. Though that's by the standards of the Blood Knight Alethi. Syl mentions in a later book that her own original Radiant thousands of years ago often used his Blade to cut aqueducts for people. Since the Blades are in fact the bonded spren of the Knights, they don't have a problem with such mundane tasks any more than a soldier would have a problem with building bridges. The Stormfather is a mighty spirit tasked with sending visions of the past to selected worthy individuals, with the intent of using the visions to provide guidance to defend against the Desolations. Dalinar, the recipient of these visions, figures out that they are interactive and he can explore them and see people and places from the world' mythological prehistory. He and his family start using these interactive visions as a valuable historical record and getting information on Lost Technology and ancient Magitek. In addition, the Stormfather can send these visions to anyone who is currently inside a highstorm, or send them to Dalinar at any time thanks to their Nahel bond. Dalinar quickly realizes that he can combine these two effects to let him talk in-person to other monarchs, as well as giving them an idea of the stakes. At the heart of every highstorm is the mythical "centerbeat," a moment where Time Stands Still. No physical changes can be made (so no using it to dodge a boulder), but the Stormfather typically uses this moment to exchange a few words with people stupid enough to go out completely exposed to his storms. In Rhythm of War, Dalinar uses the centerbeat to give Kaladin, in the midst of a Heroic BSoD, more time to snap out of it — specifically by Connecting him to his dead brother in the afterlife, who can give him some important advice.

Not the Intended Use / int_6ac55ec7	comment	Dungeons & Dragons and Pathfinder players are notorious for exploiting loopholes in the rules and descriptions of magic. Whole message boards are devoted to optimizing builds by using abilities in strange ways. Of course, the counter is always an attentive DM who puts their foot down and overrules it. During a previous incarnation of Wizards of the Coast's forums, there were two optimization forums. One (Character Optimization) was dedicated to optimizing character builds. The other (Theoretical Optimization) was dedicated to outright insane but legal per the rules as written builds (in other words, CO was the board making things most DMs would let past, TO was the board making things no sane DM would ever let be used). There is a spell called locate city. It locates the nearest city, within a radius of 10 miles per caster level. That number is its area of effect, not its range — so if you can finagle some damage onto it, you can create a Fantastic Nuke. Alternately, instead of damage, sneak in a Level Drain effect, and every level 1 commoner in a several-dozen-mile radius will instantly die in a Puff of Logic, and rise the next day as a wight to usher in the Zombie Apocalypse. Also in 3.5, a tiny dagger, wielded by a tiny creature, deals 1d2 damage. There is an ability that lets you treat a natural 1 as a 2. There is another ability that lets you reroll and add any damage die that comes up its maximum number. Combine these, and you have the tiny dagger of infinite damage. Tucker's Kobolds. Normal kobolds are 1st-level cannon fodder, with 1d4 HP. Tucker's Kobolds are devious strategic masters, capable of sending 12th-level parties fleeing for their lives in abject terror. They don't have buffed stats or anything, they're just that damn clever. The "Peasant Railgun" involves an extremely sketchy comprehension of physics. The idea being that the last man in a line gives a spear to the man in front of him, a series of actions that takes 6 seconds according to game mechanics. Thus the spear ends up moving with a speed that increases the longer the line is (with speed equal to distance traveled divided by a time period of six seconds), and thus should be moving at supersonic speeds when it reaches the front of the line. One thread was dedicated to necromancers using zombies to respond via yes/no actions... essentially, creating a giant computer. Summon magic is, quite obviously, meant to summon a creature to fight on your behalf. In version 3.0, though, spellcasters tend to find it more useful to summon a whale directly above the enemy's head. 3.5 changed the rules so that you can only summon creatures into an environment capable of supporting them. Fifth Edition removed this requirement, but replaced it with a more simple and foolproof one: summoned creatures and objects appear on the ground in an unoccupied space (so no TeleFragging, either). The 3.5 psionic power control body lets the user move another creature telekinetically like a puppet and force them to attack things. While intended as a way to disable enemies, some characters instead used it on themselves in order to make up for poor physical strength. What's more, since targets of control body aren't prevented from using Psychic Powers, it could be combined with solicit psicrystal (transfers control of one of your ongoing powers to your psicrystal) to effectively get double turns. Psionics Unleashed, a Pathfinder port of the 3.5 psionics rules by Dreamscarred Press, adds a Obvious Rule Patch that you can't use control body on yourself. The Legacy Champion was intended to make use of the Weapon of Legacy rules, and since there were Weapons of Legacy for every class, it was designed to be usable for every class, advancing their class features at an 8/10 rate. However, since those rules turned out to be a Scrappy Mechanic, many players instead used the Legacy Champion to continue advancing the features of classes that weren't intended to be advanced past a certain point. For instance, the Hellfire Warlock's features are powerful, but level-dependent, and the class is only three levels long, but a Legacy Champion could keep advancing it far past that point, multiplying its power several times over. The Acorn of Far Travel is magically linked to a specific tree and causes its holder to be treated as though they're standing under that tree's canopy. Useful for Dryads, who can't travel far from their bonded tree. Vastly more useful when linked to a tree on any one of the stranger Planes of The Multiverse, since it confers that Plane's fast healing, accelerated time, enhanced magic, and so on. The Cube of Frost Resistance creates a 10-foot cube, in which the temperature is always 65 degrees Fahrenheit, and the only thing that degrades it is sufficiently-damaging cold. Which means, by Exact Words, it's much better used for infinite heat resistance, allowing people to walk across lava or through deserts with no trouble at all. This was fixed in Third Edition. The spell passwall is a fairly mundane utility spell, creating a five-foot-by-eight-foot hole in a wooden or stone surface for creatures to go through — obviously, it's meant for Dungeon Bypass situations. However, it's frequently had other uses: In a naval combat-focused campaign, this changes to "punch a hole the size of a small car in the ship's hull"; this got called out in the official 3rd edition book Stormwrack, which dealt with heavily aquatic campaigns. In 5th edition, the spell is worded in a way that makes it clearly legal to cast it on the ground rather than a wall, creating a pit instead — including directly under an opponent. The gnome quickrazor is an exotic weapon, more or less a short-handled knife worn on the wrist, where you wield it by drawing, attacking, and sheathing in a single motion. Think the Hidden Blade from Assassin's Creed, and you've got the idea. It was meant for casting-based characters who might want to attack but still have a hand free. Meanwhile, Iaijutsu Focus was introduced in a sourcebook as a way to simulate iaijutsu duels: attack a flat-footed opponent on the same turn you draw your weapon, and you deal extra damage, meant as a way to cut down an opponent in a single stroke. Canny players of the handful of classes that picked up the skill combined the two, Dual Wielding the quickrazors and getting Iaijutsu damage on every attack. The Truly Immovable Rod. Immovable Rods are pretty simple: you put the rod somewhere, you activate it, and it stops moving, hanging in the air if that's where you put it, and not being able to be pushed anywhere else. One DM ruled that when the rod stopped, it really stopped... as the planet kept moving beneath it. The party eventually used a Truly Immovable Rod as a siege weapon, using the motion of the planet to essentially launch a castle at it at thousands of miles per hour. Iron Heart Surge. It's intended to be anime-esque Heroic Willpower, but due to vague wording (it can remove any effect lasting one or more rounds) it can get a little ridiculous. Cloudkill hurting your party? Iron Heart Surge, the air's clear. Blizzard dealing cold damage? Iron Heart Surge, the weather's nice. Blinded by looking into the sun? Iron Heart Surge, there goes that star. Elemental Plane of Fire dealing fire damage? Iron Heart Surge, and Elemental Plane of what? Unintended pregnancy? Iron Heart Surge, for all your instant abortion needs. The Bag of Holding is Exactly What It Says on the Tin. Players have also found a way to turn it into a Fantastic Nuke. When you drop Bag of Holding into a Portable Hole (or vice versa), you cause a minor Reality-Breaking Paradox that destroys everything within ten miles. Make a device that keeps a Portable Hole and Bag of Holding apart until you want to trigger the effect, get the hell out of dodge with teleport, and watch the surroundings go up in smoke. The spell dark way essentially creates a small bridge out of shadowstuff, with the obvious application of using it to cross chasms or pits. Players realized that since the bridge in question is stated to be unbreakable, the caster can instead flip it sideways and attach its ends to walls (the spell specifically cites the bridge can be at any angle so long as both ends are anchored somewhere), turning it into a kind of instant barricade to either protect themselves or divide enemy forces. It's often seen for this reason as a budget alternative to spells like wall of force, since it comes online at a pretty low level. Dimension door used to create two portals in Third Edition. While it was supposed to allow quick travel between two places, it was more often used to Portal Cut things in half for a quick kill. Fourth Edition changed it to a simple short-range teleport spell, while also adding errata to prevent a Tele-Frag with the spell. One sourcebook introduced a duo of spells: Embrace the Dark Chaos and Shun the Dark Chaos. The former spell takes one of your feats and permanently swaps it out with an Abyssal Heritor feat, a special category of feats introduced in the book that grant demon-themed abilities. The latter does the opposite, replacing an Abyssal Heritor feat that you currently have with a standard feat that you can qualify for. The intention of the two seems to be to let players access these feats without needing to rebuild their character, or to enable a Heelâ€“Face Turn where a character rejects their demon-granted powers. However, players didn't take long to notice that using the two spells one after the other could let you replace a feat you didn't want with any other feat, in a game where it's easy to find yourself saddled with largely useless feats. For instance, elves start out with four weapon proficiency feats that many builds don't care much about; using the combo would essentially give an elf four feats for free. Fourth Edition rules never stated that when teleporting, you have to appear in an unoccupied space, only that the space could not be occupied by another creature. This meant that in theory, one could teleport their enemies into a tree, since technically, the tree isn't a creature. Fifth Edition patched this so that the space you teleport into had to be totally unoccupied for it to work. In Fifth Edition, the Oathbreaker has some interesting implications. In 5e, paladins don't have alignment restrictions, they just need to fulfill the terms of their Oath, and if they fail to do so, they become Oathbreakers and get new dark powers like causing fear and creating undead. Most Paladin oaths imply some sort of Good alignment, but the Oath of Conquest requires its adherents to be ruthless tyrants, so if you're a Conquest Paladin, being a Reasonable Authority Figure means breaking your oath (similar ligic can apply to several other subclasses too). So, if you start out as a Lawful Evil Conquest Paladin and have a Heelâ€“Face Turn, you become an Oathbreaker and get access to all those creepy necromancy powers to use for good. Also in 5e, the simulacrum is meant to be a slightly weaker copy of yourself, for temporary extra firepower and a set of spare hands. A person can only have one simulacrum active at a time... unless you have Wish, and get the simulacrum to wish up another simulacrum (copying the original spell you cast), who wishes up yet another simulacrum, who in turn wishes up its own simulacrum, until you've got yourself a Clone Army. The infamous Coffeelock in 5e exploits the vagueness of multiclass interactions to create a character with nigh-unlimited spellslots. Essentially, a warlock/sorcerer multiclass uses the sorcerer's Flexible Casting to sacrifice warlock pact spell slots for sorcery points. Since warlocks regain pact slots on a short rest — unlike other casters, who need to take a long rest — and sorcery points both don't have a hard cap and don't reset until a long rest themselves, you can in theory take nothing but short rests and just gain a heap of sorcery points, which you can then convert back into spell slots as you need them. Though technically compliant with the rules as written (as there's technically no requirement for characters to sleep or trance), most people agree it's at least some kind of Loophole Abuse, and DMs will often impose rulings to make sure it can't be exploited, mostly commonly just by telling the player 'no, you don't get to just take eight short rests instead of one long rest, go to sleep.' Hexblades are a notorious Game-Breaker when multiclassed with the paladin. For starters, the paladin's Aura of Protection grants a saving throw bonus to themselves and allies around them equal to its charisma modifier. And a hexblade lets any character use their charisma modifier for their weapon attacks, meaning they don't have to split their ability distribution. This means you can just put all your points in charisma to get an absolutely ludicrous buff to saving throws. Second, a warlock's Eldritch Smite invocation lets them use their warlock spell slots to create an effect like a paladin's Divine Smite. Thing is, there's nothing stopping a hexblade-paladin from using both types of smites on the same attack. By level 7, you can get an attack where you deal 10d8 damage, all before bonuses are applied. In addition, you can cast a smite spell (such as Wrathful or Branding Smite, which hexblades get as bonus spells) as a bonus action to stack more damage on top of that. The downside is this doesn't have as much sustainability as a pure paladin, as using up two or three pact slots for a single attack is a steep cost for one hit. But if you want to smite an enemy good with a single blow, the option is there.

For example, there's Kai Allard-Liao, who was forced into an unfair six-versus-one training fight due to the machinations of his cousin. The training exercise disables military communications, including contact with GPS satellites — as a result, he has no overhead map and no idea of where his foes are. However, the exercise programming didn't disable contact to civilian equipment... so he finds the frequencies for geographic survey satellites, which he promptly commands to look down at his area and report sources of low-level seismic activity. Turns out that Humongous Mecha footsteps register on the Richter scale, granting him instant improvised tracking of his opponents. Even his more honorbound trainers declare the move "incredibly resourceful", much to the fury of his notoriously unhinged aunt.

It is also very useful for setting aside cards you don't need: Since they're placed at the bottom of the deck without shuffling it, they're moved as far away from play as possible. The trainer card Gamble can be used the same way, though somewhat more risky. You shuffle your hand into your deck and flip a coin. Draw 7 for heads, 1 for tails. The Mysterious Fossil card was intended to be used as the fossils in the original Game Boy games, as a method of acquiring Kabuto, Omanyte, or Aerodactyl. However, the mechanic allowing it to be your Active PokÃ©mon yet not permit a Prize draw when your opponent KO'd it meant that many players used it as a cheap wall while they set up their actual PokÃ©mon. Future Fossil cards did not work this way. The original "mulligan" mechanic — if you start the game with no usable PokÃ©mon in your hand, you can reveal your hand, shuffle it back in, and draw a new one, at the cost of your opponent getting to draw one more card per mulligan. The idea is to prevent players from auto-losing the game from "dead draws", without making consistency irrelevant. However, some players reasoned that if you only had one PokÃ©mon in your deck, then you might be able to mulligan over and over, forcing the opponent to draw lots of cards and possibly deck out. This led to the Mulligan Mewtwo build, which consisted of 59 Psychic Energy and one Mewtwo (an otherwise rather useless card that could protect itself by discarding a Psychic Energy), which would mulligan a good dozen times before drawing Mewtwo and then use its protective effects to stall the opponent to death. The rules were subsequently changed such that mulliganing gives your opponent the option to draw more cards.

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 The Empire 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 Planet Destroyer by pinching the space occupied by planets. The bigger the ring, the bigger the pinch, and the bigger the chunk squeezed off the world. Two rings side-by-side make ships go very fast. Two rings intersecting each other make ten-thousand-strong battlefleets disappear. One character begins designing a cruise missile with one ring inside another as a warhead to capitalize on just how big a "boom!" that results. The veetans once used it as a Cloaking Device that works by putting things Just One Second Out of Sync. The fillipods use its gravity manipulation effects to repair their homeworld by synchronizing 203 rings, and ge-e-e-ntly slotting the tectonic plate jimmied off of it back in. The empire combined a ring and a directional radio antennae into an ansible network, used exclusively by their State Sec. Other: The rhinn's Wind-Scream Rite is used to determine guilt for only the worst of crimes, and can only be described as "gang-Mind Rape" on the subject. Skitter asks for it in order to unlock his Repressed Memories. In one guest strip, an imperial pilot stranded on an uncharted world accesses the restricted section of his crashed ship to act as a Distress Call. As mentioned above, the Empire takes the Drive's secrecy very seriously, and they come a-running. The pilot knew that he'd be executed for it, but the planet would be inducted into the imperium, which is what he (and his native friends) wanted.

This involved several other, smaller instances of this trope, such as using the LM's descent engine to make course corrections and figuring out a way to use the square lithium hydroxide canisters of the CSM in the round COâ‚‚ scrubbers of the LM.

Chargers are not allowed to hit the other team's players, this is called "splarching" and loses the team that commits it a point. One of the teams in the story has realized that if their players dive in front of balls passed by the other team's Chargers, it's still counted as splarching and the other team still loses points.

Not the Intended Use / int_a825da3e	comment	In Magic: The Gathering, many combo decks (and subsequently, card bannings or errata) come from this sort of behavior. Although one can debate over which examples qualify as "not intended" vs simply "not obvious"; the developers do fully intend for players to come up with card combinations they didn't see themselves and simply hope that they won't miss any that break the game, while in some cases they're aware of the unorthodox use and go ahead anyway. Examples include: Dark Depths and Vampire Hexmage: The Hexmage was meant to remove beneficial counters from permanents and as a way for black to deal with planeswalkers. But with Dark Depths, you can remove all the counters to get a 20/20 flying indestructible creature on turn 3. Cascade cards and Hypergenesis: You're supposed to suspend Hypergenesis, but cascade lets you search it out of your deck and cast it for free. This also works with other cards with no mana cost, such as Living End. Grove of the Burnwillows and Punishing Fire: The Grove is supposed to be a dual land that fights against red and green's aggressive nature, but it lets you get back Punishing Fire instead. Lion's Eye Diamond: Intended to be a bad Black Lotus, instead you can toss your hand into your graveyard as a beneficial effect for Yawgmoth's Will (often used while a tutor for Yawgmoth's Will (or Yawgmoth's Will itself) is on the stack, doubly stupid because you can then recast it from the graveyard and get more mana with no drawback whatsoever), dredge cards, or madness cards. Another extremely powerful trick with it is to use it while a draw-7 spell (which generally cause you to discard your hand and draw a new one) is on the stack, so that it again has no drawback, or while a reanimation spell which does not need to declare a target is being cast, so as to put the card in question into your graveyard for ready reanimation. Wizards of the Coast is infamously bad at making a "bad" Black Lotus; Lotus Petal, a Black Lotus which only produced one mana instead of three, came out shortly thereafter, and was restricted shortly thereafter. When they made Lotus Bloom later on (a black lotus which took three turns to come into play), it yet again caused problems by allowing Dragonstorm decks (itself a previous Junk Rare, reprinted because it was theoretically a bad storm card due to costing too much mana) to get a bunch of extra spells cast on the fourth turn for free. Combined with Rite of Flame and Seething Song (attempts to create "fair" Dark Rituals), along with Gigadrowse, a card intended for limited but actually useful for tapping all of your opponent's lands during their endstep to prevent them from interfering with your plans (and nearly uncounterable due to its own ability to replicate itself into multiple spells), the deck created a rather terrifyingly powerful combo deck which regularly "went off" on turn four and instantly killed the opponent via Bogardan Hellkites. Another "bad" Lotus attempt was Lotus Vale, which required you to sacrifice two lands in order to keep it with the end result of getting three mana out of one land. Unfortunately, how it was initially worded caused it to be able to tap for mana in response to its own sacrifice requirement, making it essentially a one-a-turn Black Lotus. This was errataed, however, and no longer works that way. Illusions of Grandeur and Donate: Two quirky junk rares for casual players that combined to become one of the most famous kill conditions in the competitive Magic history. It didn't help that Illusions of Grandeur has the text "gain 20 life" on it, which, with Necropotence in play, reads an awful lot like "draw 20 cards". Waylay: Meant as a way to get temporary blockers, but a rules change made it into "White Lightning," a way to get hasty attackers for a turn. It was errated to only work as intended. Flash: Meant as a way to play creatures at times you're normally not allowed to, it does this by letting you put a creature card from your hand into play, but you have to sacrifice it unless you pay its mana cost reduced by 2 (where 2 is the cost of Flash itself). What this actually means is that for 2 mana you can get the "when this comes into play" and/or "when this dies" effect of an arbitrarily expensive creature, some of which are powerful enough to instantly win the game with the right support. It was errata'd the first time this abuse was discovered with Academy Rector, then un-errata'd due to a policy change to minimize the use of errata, and promptly banned or restricted in all the formats it was still legal in thanks to an instant-win combo with Protean Hulk. Boomerang existed for years as a cheap and fairly versatile blue bounce spell; it seemed fair enough, so printing a worse version in Eye of Nowhere seemed safe enough. At the same time, the long-time classic Howling Mine was in print, a card which historically was sometimes used with artifact tapping abilities to give card advantage, but was typically viewed as a weak combo piece. Kami of the Crescent Moon was a generally worse Howling Mine, a weak creature which could blow low-powered creatures but which was fairly easily killed. While alone, some of these cards were alright, in concert, combined with more powerful delaying cards like Remand and Exhaustion, both of which also helped to keep the opponent's hand full without letting them actually play any spells, the deck would rather quickly bounce the opponent's lands back into their hand while preventing them from casting any spells, putting various card draw spells into play which would cause the opponent to draw so many cards that they had to discard the excess cards, something which almost never happens in tournament play. Worse still, Ebony Owl Netsuke and Sudden Impact had been printed as a means of punishing decks which took advantage of the Kamigawa block mechanic which encouraged players to keep their hands full, a nearly useless mechanic due to the fact that it meant that the player wasn't casting spells, and as such, spells designed to punish cards that no one ever used were pretty useless. But in this deck, it simply punished absolutely everyone for daring to sit down at the table. A very powerful deck, it was quite good at completely destroying control decks, but had absolutely no ability to win games against aggressive decks which played lots of cheap, powerful creatures and burn spells, which the deck only gave further fuel to. Another example from the same time period was the Eminent Domain deck, so-named because it used Annex, Dream Leash, and Confiscate to steal their opponent's lands, Icy Manipulator to hold creatures at bay and tap down more lands, Stone Rain to destroy what lands it couldn't steal, and finally Wildfire to destroy all of the lands the opponent had left, along with whatever creatures they'd managed to play, while leaving them with excess lands due to their own stealing and artifact mana, which was untouched by the wildfire; if the opponent DID manage to cast some good creature, then they'd just steal it with Dream Leash or Confiscate themselves. While Wildfire was known to be a very powerful card, Annex had been thought of as a means of punishing players for playing certain kinds of lands, not as a means of allowing a player to steal their opponent's lands and cast a wildfire with a two-land advantage, possibly as early as turn four. The sheer number of permanent stealing spells made the deck extremely versatile, as it could steal anything the opponent used to fight with - lands if they needed mana to cast powerful cards, creatures if they were a threat, and even valuable artifacts - and set the world on fire with a huge advantage on its side. As a result, land-stealing spells became much harder to come by afterwards. Even some of the official WotC staff have gotten in on this. Back before he became Rules Manager and thus devoted himself to curtailing this sort of madness (whether or not this is a good thing depends on your perspective), Mark Gottlieb ran the House of Cards, a weekly column devoted to creating insane decks and combos, the most infamous of which was turning a subpar creature-producing artifact into a repeatable board-clearing engine of destruction. He even paraphrases the trope's name when describing the combo! Grindstone was an artifact from Tempest that discarded the top two cards from a player's library, and repeated the process if their colors matched. Because about a third of an average deck is lands, which have no colors to match against, it was considered a Junk Rare and quickly forgotten. Over ten years later, Shadowmoor came out and had a "color matters" sub theme, so they printed Painter's Servant, which made all cards in the game count as any of the five colors. When the two are played together, you can destroy your opponent's entire deck on turn 3. (If "By the way, you have no more cards ever besides the one in your hand" wasn't bad enough, an opponent attempting to draw a card from their now-empty deck causes them to instantly lose.) For a more comical version, there's Humility (enchantment: all creatures are 1/1 with no effects) and Opalescence (all enchantments are creatures, keeping their effects). Intended use: leveling the playing field and giving you extra creatures, respectively. Memetic use: making Your Head A-Splode as you try to figure out how the cards interact with each other. (The rulings for each card include an entire paragraph about making sense of it.) Most 'Return card from the graveyard' spells return the card in question to your hand. A few, though (eg. Bond of Revival or the activated ability of Gravewaker), return it straight to the battlefield instead, as an efficiency boost. A side effect of this is that doing so means you don't have to pay the card's mana cost. This means you can deliberately dump Awesome, but Impractical creatures into your graveyard and then cheat them into play using such abilities. For best result, Finale of Eternity has the potential to return every creature in your graveyard to the field at once. One of the funnier cases was the Clone-killer strategy. There was a rule for a while that if two Legendary Creatures with the same name existed in play, both got destroyed. The intention of this rule was to stop people from packing their decks with nothing but the incredibly powerful Legendary Creatures, since you could only have one of a given Creature at a time. Players, though, realized that this meant a possible counter strategy to your opponent having a Legendary Creature was to play one of your own. Or, in a more general sense, you could play Clone, which turns into a copy of one of your opponent's cards, like their Legendary Creature, at which point they'd both die. Cheesy stuff like this caused Wizards to change the rule so that it only affected your side of the board. Some cards like Overflowing Insight say "target player draws [number] cards". These sorts of cards are intended to be used on the caster to draw more cards, or with a side benefit in multiplayer formats as a political tool, but if used on a player with less cards remaining in their library than the number that the spell draws that player loses the game. A similar effect occurs with cards like Sign in Blood. Typically the caster targets themselves to pay life for cards, but this sort of effect can also be used as a burn spell to deal damage to the opponent. The Dredge keyword is, in theory, meant to make a card reusable in return for having a lower-than-average power level, by letting you send a number of cards from your library to the graveyard in order to return it from the graveyard to your hand instead of drawing a card whenever you would be allowed to do so. In practice, players really latched onto the "send a number of cards from your library to the graveyard" bit, often ignoring what the Dredge cards actually did and just using them to rapidly dump most of their deck so they can start popping off with various graveyard-based effects.

However, players quickly developed a strategy around it called the Backdoor, which involves the Head of Household nominating two pawns in the hopes that they themselves, one of their allies, or one of the nominees wins the Veto, at which point they remove one of the pawns and replace them with the HoH's true target. The idea is to minimize the target's chances of protecting themselves since there are only six participants in the Veto competition, two of which being the nominees (so nominating them outright would guarantee them the chance to save themselves). Furthermore, at least half of the competitors are guaranteed to use the Veto if won* the HoH, who's already in on the plan, and the two nominees, who want to save themselves, meaning that thereâ€™s never any less than a 50% chance of success. The Backdoor strategy has become so ingrained into the metagame that even the producers have begun acknowledging it. The short-lived dual-Head of Household / Battle of the Block system suffered from this horribly. The intent was to set up a showdown between two opposing alliances and their intended targets, with the winning set of nominees not only guaranteeing their own safety for the week but also dethroning the HoH who nominated them, leaving them vulnerable to being nominated themselves should the Power of Veto be used. However, more often than not two members of the same alliance would win both HoH slots, at which point they quickly discovered that by having one of the HoHs nominate two of their own alliance and the other nominating an ally and the alliance's target, and then having the ally in the latter pair intentionally throw the Battle of the Block competition, they could not only protect three alliance members, but also leave the entire opposing side exposed. This massive flaw played a major part in Derrick's ability to steamroll his way to the grand prize in Season 16, and after a few more weeks in season 17 where it suffered similar abuse, the concept was dropped from the show altogether.

Thanks to some poorly-thought-out mathematics, one player discovered that igniting the equivalent of a supertanker-ful of promethium (in other words, far less than the mighty refineries of the Imperium can contain) would result in a fireball that dwarfs the Sun. Cue the idea of using freighter ships loaded with the stuff on kamikaze runs. A scaled-down version of this was actually done in one of the Ciaphas Cain books. Dumping a (relatively tiny) refinery tank's worth of promethium back down the mine and setting it off created an explosion that cracked a continent and rocked a starship in orbit. The Rhino APC was actually some kind of tractor-transport STC. However, its engine is built to be able to run off of almost every kind of fuel (from refined promethium to wood), it's incredibly simple to repair and maintain, it is cheap and simple to produce (as it was originally designed for colonists who may only have stone-age tech at their disposal) and the base vehicle is highly moddable. This resulted in it becoming the basis of many, many vehicles within the Imperium's armies. In 8th edition if a non-synapse Tyranid Unit moved out of Synapse range, it would suffer "instinctive behavior", usually resulting in worse performance such as a penalty to their To Hit roll. On top of that, infantry units that moved and tried to fire a heavy weapon would also suffer a To Hit penalty cumulative with the above. This is normally bad, but enterprising players found that Biovores, who summoned a Spore Mine for free whenever they missed and are an infantry unit wielding a Heavy weapon, would benefit greatly from this as they could summon spore mines to form a living wall, blocking off enemies from objectives, choke points, and help from other units.

Prior to issuing an Engagement Challenge at the climax of book two/anime season 1, Issei receives a flyer from Sirzechs with an invitation on one side allowing him to warp to Hell and issue the challenge, and a summoning circle for a Griffon on the other side, providing him with a dimension-hopping mount to get back. After Issei succeeds with said challenge as is romantically helping Rias onto the griffon's back to ride home with him, Sirzechs dryly mutters that the mount was meant as a panic button in case Issei lost and needed to flee for his life. He much prefers this application, though.

The original user, an old chief in Meteor City, uses it to explode things, but Chrollo, its second user, realizes that because these surfaces cannot be destroyed as long as a marker remains on them, that renders objects with markers indestructible, an effect he uses much more frequently than its intended incendiary purposes. Neferpitou (Pitou for short) has Doctor Blythe, a Healing Shiv she can summon and un-summon at will. However, it cannot be moved from the location she summons it, and she's tethered to it with an unbreakable string of aura. These traits are supposed to be a weakness, as they hinder Pitou's movements and her ability to fight until she recalls it back. A while later, Pitou is flung far away fighting Netero, and she realizes she can summon Doctor Blythe as an anchor, preventing her from careening away any further, using the aura string's elasticity to slingshot herself back into battle as she un-summons it. The Greed Island spell card called Accompany is, as its name suggests, supposed to allow the caster and his or her group to travel together to a specific location or a specific person, but as a case of Exact Words, the Greed Island players soon discover that Accompany will indiscriminately transport everyone within a certain distance, friend or foe. To this end, Genthru and his party hoard Accompany cards and use them to stalk and pursue whomever they intend to kill, preventing them from retreating or escaping. Gon, Killua and Bisuke all take advantage of this later by tricking Genthru into thinking they had less Accompany cards than they really had, so once they ran out, the group used their own Accompany cards to split up Genthru's group, forcing them into one-on-one fights.

When the mechanic was first introduced, players quickly realized that you could just pile battlearmor onto your mech and use them as free armor, because the battlearmor would take hits that would otherwise damage the mech's torso. Later fixed in an Obvious Rule Patch.

At the end of the first book a squadron led by Lieutenant Trevor Gray accelerates to near lightspeed before releasing them and rather thoroughly fucks up an incoming Turusch battlefleet. Gray acquires the callsign "Sandy" for this and is later described as having added a footnote to the manual. By book four, twenty years later, this has actually become a standard maneuver. Also in book four, Gray's Suspiciously Similar Substitute Lt. Donald Gregory brings his fighter in an extreme close-range pass against a Slan warship (the narrator the sound of his fighter scraping the hull), allowing him to insert his drive singularity inside the ship. This destroys it from the inside out.

A horn that causes triple the amount of anything that goes in one end to come out the other, which he intends to be used to triple the amount of the towns sardine catch. The townspeople in a rare showing actually love his invention and everyone wants one to use right away... except they use it for everything "but" its obvious use. Not just the increase of sardines, the townsfolk we're the horns as shows. Use them as back scratchers, as buckets and just about every use you can think of, but not one of them uses its actual function to triple "anything". Except for the villain, who uses it for revenge.

Not the Intended Use / int_e5bd9adf	comment	Due to the rather terrible rule system in the notorious F.A.T.A.L., it's much more efficient to kill your enemies by rolling for the largest possible penis size (yes, that is a real stat here) in character creation and anally raping them, rather than fighting them directly with the combat system. Because while one could resist fighting, which also had extremely high chance of crippling your player no matter who the opponent was, there are no mechanics for resisting rape, and in the rulebook it states if there are no mechanics for it, you can't do it. With a large enough penis size stat, it's possible to instantly kill enemy by tearing their anus open.

Not the Intended Use / int_e944602	comment	The titular character of Goblin Slayer lives and breathes this trope. He and his team will use anything at their disposal if it means achieving their goals, often using mundane items in frighteningly effective ways. In Chapter 4, Goblin Slayer uses the Priestess' protection spell to prevent a bunch of goblins from escaping the massive fire Goblin Slayer started. The Priestess herself is disturbed by the tactic. He also uses a Gate Scroll as a weapon, by making the location of the Gate the bottom of the ocean, effectively turning it into a very large water knife. In Vol. 2, rather than escaping a goblin horde by using a newly discovered teleportation mirror leading to goodness-knows-where, he has his team lift it up like an umbrella while he collapses the ceiling. The rubble is absorbed by the mirror and buries everything else, leaving them the only survivors. The Priestess herself does this unintentionally in Vol. 7. Pinned by a goblin shaman, she instinctively uses her miracle "Purify Water", a divine magic spell meant to purge contamination from liquid so it can be drunk safely, on its blood. The goblin dies in hideous pain in an instant. Deconstructed in that the next time that she sleeps, her goddess appears to her in a vision saying that if she ever uses the spell in that manner again, she will be stripped of her ability to cast miracles permanently. In Volume 8, the ship that the party is on is attacked by a Sea Serpent. One Water Walk spell later, and the monster is effectively beached out in the middle of the ocean, unable to submerge. It died very quickly after that.

Not only does he put together some creative devices with the tools at hand in ways most would not expect, he often doesn't even use the tools at hand in the logical fashion — in one instance, he is locked in a room and has a revolver, but as he Does Not Like Guns, he disassembles the bullets, puts the gunpowder into a hanky, sticks a primer in one side, puts the whole thing into a keyhole, and gives the primer a good hard rap with the butt of the gun, blowing out the deadbolt. It does at least avoid the risk of a ricochet, but that didn't appear to be his reason.

A negotiator sent by the government barely even listens to their complaints before invoking the Rush Act, an Emergency Authority that allows the station's commander to use any military means necessary to end the strike. Commander Sinclair, rather than sending in troops to crush the strikers as the negotiator clearly hoped, instead diverts funds from the station's military budget to the civilian one so the dockworkers will get everything they need, a power he didn't have until the Rush Act was invoked. Sinclair's regular political contact, Senator Hidoshi, lampshades in a call later that this is obviously not the way that the law was intended to be used, and under normal circumstances the senate would never let Sinclair's decision stand, but there's no text in the law preventing it from being used this way, and because Sinclair's decision is massively popular with the general public, the senate is reluctantly going on along with it.

Think the Hidden Blade from Assassin's Creed, and you've got the idea. It was meant for casting-based characters who might want to attack but still have a hand free. Meanwhile, Iaijutsu Focus was introduced in a sourcebook as a way to simulate iaijutsu duels: attack a flat-footed opponent on the same turn you draw your weapon, and you deal extra damage, meant as a way to cut down an opponent in a single stroke. Canny players of the handful of classes that picked up the skill combined the two, Dual Wielding the quickrazors and getting Iaijutsu damage on every attack.
