Power-Strain Blackout | comment |
It can be hard to show all the aspects of a fictional ability since such a thing does not have any Real Life context to which the audience can relate. So when a creator wants to show that using a special power takes a toll on a character, he will often have the character faint afterward. This is especially true when the character uses a power for the first time because they might overdo it due to inexperience. Presumably, the strain of using it is too much for them, causing their mind to shut down in self-defense. This is frequently used for powers that aren't flashy in order to make them seem more dramatic, such as telepathy and other Psychic Powers. If the fainting is a symptom of a more serious health problem, it's also a case of Heroic RRoD. (Or a Villainous RRoD, depending on the character.) When it happens the first time a power is used, it's related to How Do I Shot Web?. Can be a form of Blessed with Suck. If the collapse is after a dramatic win, especially a battle, and is used to skip the boring aftermath, it's Post-Victory Collapse. Compare to Fainting Seer, which may overlap for Seers. May overlap with Cast from Lifespan, and usually will overlap with Cast from Stamina. Sub-Trope of Fainting. |

X-Men: Many telepaths of the various X-Men incarnations do this at least once in almost all of their adaptations. Rogue faints after some time if she absorbs the powers of a sufficiently strong superpowered person, such as Magneto. This is Depending on the Writer, though, as Rogue has absorbed power from the likes of Juggernaut as well as multiple heroes at once with little, to no ill effects. Storm passes out in mid-air after powering down a planet-threatening supercell of her own creation (Dr. Doom had trapped her as a statue, and creating the supercell is her hysterical claustrophobic reaction to being trapped thus). At the beginning of Ultimate X-Men (2001), Storm has a tendency to faint, not from the use of power itself but from the mental effort required to reduce collateral damage — since she has no experience with aiming her lightning. When he was young,note specifically, during the early run of Uncanny X-Men Cyclops often fainted after releasing his Eye Beams. With practice (and several retcons about how his powers worked) he learned to draw energy from sources other than his own body. |

In Ash's exhibition match against Prof. Kukui in Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon, the strain of having to control an absorbed Blast Burn combined with its post-win evolution using up the remainder of its energy meant that Ash's Incineroar was declared unable to battle a minute after defeating its rival. | |

In Miraculous Ladybug, using too many Miraculous at once can be draining to the user. Marinette becomes dizzy just wearing the entire collection, and in the fifth season premiere, Gabriel wearing them all and using them five or so at a time makes him pretty much unbeatable... and brings him closer to total defeat than any of the heroes ever has, as the more he uses his many powers, the more he can barely stand. | |

In Spacetrawler, Eebs (or humans like Yuri with Eeb brain implants) will black out if they strain their telekinesis by moving objects that are too massive. Too much of this strain can outright kill them. It's later revealed that this limitation is a result of brain-clamping — we've yet to see an upper limit on how much matter an unclamped Eeb can move telekinetically. | |

Often happens to characters in Naruto when they expend a ton of chakra performing some powerful jutsu, far too many times to count. A more straight example may be genjutsu however, as genjutsu is purely mental and can take its toll on a ninja's body, especially the more powerful ones like Sharingan. In particular, Kakashi very nearly passes out after using his Mangekyo Sharingan three times in one battle, the last time being when he uses it to absorb an explosion caused by Deidara in order to protect his friends and teammates. Even then, he somehow remains conscious albeit unable to walk without assistance, until Might Guy gets the bright idea to give the guy a piggyback ride. Happens to almost all the characters but Kakashi in particular suffers from this thanks to his Sharingan because he is not an Uchiha, and so lacks the Uchiha clan stamina to go with it. Thus, when he does use his Sharingan, he burns out very quickly. Also, Kakashi is unable to turn his Sharingan off, so to conserve energy he has to keep it covered at all times. For these reasons, he often winds up collapsing after major battles. It was even lampshaded by another character in one of the later episodes, much to Kakashi's chagrin. |

RWBY: Ruby Rose blacks out (or rather, whites out) for days after tapping into the power of silver eyes for the first time. Emerald Sustrai can create hallucinations that only her victims can experience. She complains about a headache after tricking two medics with her power since giving more than one person a hallucination at the same time stresses her power. In the Volume 5 finale, Emerald suffers a Villainous Breakdown when she thinks Cinder Fall might be dead, and triggers one mass hallucination in grief that leaves her unconscious afterward. |

In Loved and Lost, Twilight Sparkle uses a shrinking spell Prince Jewelius showed her a few chapters earlier to turn Queen Chrysalis and her entire Changeling army tiny enough to fit a glass jar. She becomes exhausted and faints while Jewelius stages a coup against the princesses. She wakes up to find her friends, brother, and the princesses driven away by Jewelius who has made himself Equestria's king. He even manages to poison her mind and fill her with hatred towards her loved ones. | |

In The Dresden Files, wizards feel fatigue when they use a lot of magic. Pushed too far, it certainly can cause a blackout. Notably, it's like exercising, in that wizards get better as they practice: in the first novel, Storm Front, Harry gets exhausted from too much magic quickly and has to rely on other methods to succeed. By the time of Dead Beat and Proven Guilty, he's tossing around fire constantly without even slowing down, though he still occasionally relies on mundane weapons. By Changes, his magical prowess has expanded to impress the White Council, comprised of wizards with decades, if not centuries more experience. | |

Triptych Continuum: Invoked and played for laughs in If Rainbow Dash Can't Sleep... Given that, even when well rested and fed, performing the Sonic Rainboom leaves her seriously drained; Rainbow Dash reasons that doing so in her current exhausted state would be an excellent insomnia cure. While it worked, leaving her out like the proverbial light, doing so at 3 A. M. directly above Ponyville... A far more serious occurrence is seen (and more referenced) in Goosed when Fluttershy tries to drive off a flock of Crystal Geese with The Stare and collapses. Spike is capable of instantly organizing treatmentnote (and prone to verbally tear a strip off of Applejack for asking this of the already fatigued Fluttershy to begin with) because Twilight Sparkle has done this fairly often since fillyhood, forcing him to learn how to stabilize ponies suffering from magical over-exertion or watch his sister die. |

The Vision of Escaflowne: Hitomi's ability to see into the future, via Tarot Cards, often has this effect on her afterwards. It's eventually revealed that both the duration and the severity of her fainting spells are determined by her emotional state. Meaning the greater her anxiety, the greater its toll on her following her vision; not to mention the part about her anxiety making those visions come true! | |

Noticeable but less pronounced in Persona 4 and Persona 5 as well: in both games, whenever a new person unlocks their Persona for the first time, they get drained and have to leave the TV World or Mementos pretty much immediately. Persona 4 also has the nature of the TV World drain the stamina of anyone who doesn't have fog-clearing glasses, making them much more tired than normal just by being there. People that get thrown into the TV World can't fight back without help because they can't summon the energy to do so. | |

In Soul Eater, Sid collapses after using his power to get the main characters and Stein outside of the trap set for the whole school. In fairness to him, he had just nearly been blown up and then rushed all the way back to Death City. | |

Trauma Center: In Under the Knife and its remake Second Opinion, when Dr. Stiles consciously activates his Healing Touch for the first time in an operation (first time he did it was subconsciously out of desperation to save the patient from imminent death, second time was to practice), he faints afterwards. Dr. Hoffman scolds him and tells him he shouldn't use it anymore lest he rely too heavily upon it, but reluctantly agrees to let Dr. Stiles use it only when he absolutely needs to, leading to the once-per-operation limit on manually using the Healing Touch in subsequent operationsnote gameplay-wise, if you could just spam Healing Touch all day the game would get too easy (although the limit is also in the operation in which Dr. Stiles faints). In New Blood, the Caduceus crew are challenged to appear on a surgery reality show starring Leonardo Bello, a doctor who wows audiences by using his Healing Touch to do lightning-fast surgeries, and are summarily laughed off. Later, the villains of the game end up sending a patient on the show who is infected with the Ops strain of Stigma, which Bello is hopeless to treat. His attempts to keep up with the parasite by relying on his Healing Touch eventually result in him foaming at the mouth and losing consciousness before the Caduceus doctors arrive to save the day. |

Tower and the Hive: psychic powers work this way, physically fatiguing the psychic after they perform large feats. It's said that whether you lift an object with your arms or with your mind, you're still doing the same amount of "work" and burning the same amount of calories. For really big teleports, they mostly drain power from enormous electric generators, though it still wears them out. In one case, four of the most powerful psychics in existence pool their abilities to teleport a large fleet of warships across interstellar distances, and all of them immediately retire to their beds and sleep for the next twenty hours. | |

Dungeons & Dragons: Deities and Demigods Cyclopedia (1980). If the Norse god Odin uses his powers to heal anyone, he falls asleep for 1 to 10 days. The Wilder psionic class has the wild surge power, which can boost Psychic Powers above their current level, but with a risk of causing a "psychic enervation", which dazes them for a full round afterward and cost more power points. The "Reserves of Strength" feat allows a spellcaster to boost his caster level, and push the level cap on a spell effect, but in exchange for being stunned for 1–3 rounds, depending on the importance of the boost. If the character is immune to stunning, the spell becomes instead Cast from Hit Points. |

Farscape: In The Peacekeeper Wars, Crichton collapses and is rendered catatonic after shutting down the wormhole he created to force peace between the Scarrans and Peacekeepers. The sequence is somewhat unclear whether this is a result of the process of the mechanism itself, (which appears to involve some form of mental interface) or the alien "Einstein" removing wormhole weapon knowledge from his mind at the same time. | |

She actually takes on the person's injury, but didn't know that, and Lois had apparently been killed. It looked as if she had traded her life for Lois's, but thankfully, she got better. She used her power to that degree once more and stayed apparently dead for 18 hours. | |

Kamen Rider: Kamen Rider Blade: The title character passes out after all his early uses of King form. So does anyone standing close enough to actually witness him using his final attack on a Monster of the Week. King Form is one of KR's 'so powerful it may be too much of a good thing' modes, such as were seen back in Kamen Rider Kuuga. Kamen Rider OOO sometimes passes out after using a full combo. Kamen Rider Ex-Aid faints after using Mighty Brothers XX. |

My Little Pony: Equestria Girls: At the climax of the first movie, the Magic of Friendship saves the day — but it's still straining for the human girls who wield it. After dispelling Sunset Shimmer's demonic transformation and mind-control magic, the six protagonists are seen lying on the floor, looking drained. Twilight Sparkle even seems unconscious for a few seconds until Spike licks her face. My Little Pony: Equestria Girls – Legend of Everfree: The first time she uses her telekinesis voluntarily, to move a large boulder, human Twilight manages but faints and is caught by Sunset Shimmer. She recovers swiftly, though. Later, Rarity is creating a gem-like Deflector Shield around the group against Gaea Everfree's assault. She quickly realizes she can't hold the hostile plant life at bay indefinitely, and when her shield finally shatters she briefly collapses in Applejack's arms. |

Persona: Persona 3: Makoto falls unconscious for a few days after summoning his Persona for the first time. Happens to Fuuka when she awakens her Persona for the first time, which resulted in her having to rest in the hospital. Noticeable but less pronounced in Persona 4 and Persona 5 as well: in both games, whenever a new person unlocks their Persona for the first time, they get drained and have to leave the TV World or Mementos pretty much immediately. Persona 4 also has the nature of the TV World drain the stamina of anyone who doesn't have fog-clearing glasses, making them much more tired than normal just by being there. People that get thrown into the TV World can't fight back without help because they can't summon the energy to do so. |

One Piece: Luffy falls into this after some of his fights. Usually it's the result of blood loss or poison, though after Enies Lobby and Thriller Bark he passes out from the strain of his Gear 2 technique, which is basically increasing the speed of his blood flow — if it wasn't his rubbery body, the stress on his heart would kill him. Cavendish, one of the participants of the Corrida Colosseum tournament in Dressrosa, experiences this every time his Split Personality Hakuba takes over. Hakuba is insanely fast, even by One Piece standards, and knocks out almost everyone in the ring in a flash. Too bad for him, he's participating in a tournament, so this trope kicking in causes him to lose the match in favor of Rebecca, the one gladiator who wasn't knocked out by his attack. |

Pokémon: Hyper Beam is the strongest (non-sacrificing) attack in Pokémon Red and Blue, but in exchange it leaves the user so exhausted that they must spend the next turn recovering — better hope it takes the target out lest they get an Extra Turn.

Overusing spells in Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? will drain the caster's mind until they suffer "Mind Zero" and pass out. This happens to Bell after he learns Fire Bolt and casts it one too many times, and has to be saved by Aiz again. He learns to be more conservative afterwards. | |

Alaric Morgan is apt to do this since he's a bit of an overachiever and Deryni powers are physically taxing to use. In High Deryni, Morgan tries to contact Derry mentally (sending a Call) during the reconciliation service for himself and Duncan and faints from the effort; Duncan makes the excuse that his cousin isn't used to fasting. He also collapses from overextending himself to Call on campaign in The King's Justice, and Kelson scolds him for pushing himself too hard. | |

In Drowtales, it's possible to blackout from overuse of mana. It actually happened to a weaker student in chapter 2.

In God of War (PS4), Atreus gets so upset about Modi trying to kill Kratos and insulting Faye, Atreus' very recently deceased mother, that after all his other attacks fail, Atreus accidentally triggers Spartan Rage, a god power he neither knew he possessed nor knows how to control. This results in his power flaming for a few brief seconds, similar to Kratos' own Spartan Rage, before Atreus sputters out and collapses. | |

She recovers swiftly, though. Later, Rarity is creating a gem-like Deflector Shield around the group against Gaea Everfree's assault. She quickly realizes she can't hold the hostile plant life at bay indefinitely, and when her shield finally shatters she briefly collapses in Applejack's arms. |

In Uprooted, this is a hazard for wizards and witches as their store of power is invariably a reservoir rather than a steady stream to be tapped without consequence. When a magic user is inexperienced, hasty, and/or desperate enough to drain themselves to the dregs attempting the slightest cantrip afterwards without at least some rest lays them out cold. | |

In Pokémon the Series: XY, Ash and his Greninja have access to a unique Super Mode through battle bonding with each other. However, using the form proves to be very exhausting for Ash, and all the damage Greninja takes Ash feels as well. This eventually reaches its logical conclusion during Ash's rematch with Alan, where Ash passes out in the midst of battle. While he was winning. It is eventually revealed that Ash and Greninja have this problem because they don't fully trust each other yet. After overcoming a shared Heroic BSoD and making amends, they iron this flaw out, although Ash and Greninja still share each other's pain, albeit on a more downplayed level. | |

Sailor Moon usually faints or at least collapses and loses her Super form after using her Rainbow Moon Heartache attack in the S series, although that restriction on her Super form doesn't apply during SuperS, probably because she's using a power source other than the Holy Grail in that series. She also has this problem in the first few episodes of Stars, when she first tries to become Eternal Sailor Moon, and like with SuperS, the problem disappears once that becomes her default form when the Animamates start appearing. | |

In the Dresden Files RPG, as in the books, spellcasting causes physical strain on the caster in two ways: firstly, calling up any magic at all (well, any evocation, and any ritual magic over a certain threshold of power) damages the character's mental stress by a small amount. Worse, if they call up more power than they can use (either in desperation or because they screwed up a roll), they have to take the excess as either backlash, which is this, or fallout, which is worse. | |

In GURPS, strenuous activities, some power uses, and spell-casting, all cost Fatigue Points (FP); powerful spells and some powers may be defined to cost a lot of them. Running really low on FP can cause a character to suffer penalties to movement and other actions. If necessary, after running out completely, the character can go on to spend Hit Points (HP) in place of FP, and running out of those can eventually cause some kind of total collapse. | |

Ars Magica: It costs Fatigue levels to use Ritual Magic, cast a spell that's beyond the mage's power to cast safely, or improvise all but the most minor magical effects, meaning a mage can cast a spell (or worse, try and fail to cast it) and promptly drop unconscious for minutes or hours. In the case of Ritual Magic, they're out until they get a good night's sleep. | |

The Raven Tower: The Strength and Patience of the Hill speaks another god dead and is knocked out of commission for two years by the ensuing strain. The Myriad also says she had to lend him some of her power to bring him back, showcasing just how incredibly draining certain actions can be for a deity. | |

In Aruosumente, when as a child Legna uses his powers for something serious for the first time — predicting who has squirreled away weapons and hid them at the water mill — he has repeated blackouts from the strain. | |

Adventures of the Galaxy Rangers: Niko of the Galaxy Rangers will occasionally overtax herself, draining her implant and her natural abilities and end up knocked out or barely conscious for a while. The upside is that if it gets to that point, she's probably just saved everyone's ass with it. | |
