Our Hero(es) receive gifts from a powerful being, either a reverential figure or a supernatural one. So named by our good friend Joseph Campbell, Supernatural Aid occurs between the beginning and midpoint of The Hero's Journey, usually about the time things start getting serious. The gift-giver will usually be either a godlike being trying to help the heroes without intervening directly, or just a Mentor. In the latter case, he may give the gift directly or fall victim to the Mentor Occupational Hazard and bequeath it upon his death.
Either way, the item in question will be special, powerful, magical (or the setting equivalent), and inevitably vital. As to its form, it may be a weapon, amulet, or any other useful item that may help him on his quest. If this is the case, the hero is generally told "You Will Know What to Do" (or, sometimes, "Figure It Out Yourself").
Often, the hero will need to pass a Secret Test of Character to win the item (traditional favourites include showing hospitality to a beggar, and helping an old woman cross a river).
Sub-Trope of It Was a Gift. See also Enigmatic Empowering Entity. A special case that needs no introduction is Giving the Sword to a Noob. For the exact opposite, where the hero is noticeably given nothing useful when being assigned a quest, see With This Herring.

In Bottom, when Richie and Eddie are stranded at the top of a Big Wheel ( which will be demolished in the morning), they are rescued by the hand of god. At least, until they admit they don't actually believe in god, and plummet to their deaths. They got better, though.

Teddie/Kuma of Persona 4 initially acts an Adventure Rebuff by sending the protagonists back to the real world because of the danger of the TV World. Later, he assists the protagonists by helping them navigate the TV world and giving them glasses that makes it possible to see through the fog.
The residents of the Velvet Room also serve as this throughout the entire franchise.

Bruce Coville's Book of... Nightmares II: In The Shadow Wood, a hero vows to set out and conquer the titular forest. Before he goes, an old man offers him a magic candle that, if lit when all else fails, will show him the answer to his problem. In the end, it does help him face off against an army of living shadows, but the final one to appear is unaffected by it.

Dragonfly, the legendary hero of Archipelago, is long past his heroing days. His biggest contribution to the story present is gifts: Amplifier Artifact for The Hero, a prophecy for The Lancer, an old memory to the member of the team with a complicated case of Trauma-Induced Amnesia, Red String of Fate for the member who wants to find his True Love and some Required Secondary Powers for the member who's going to need them soon.

Oblivion:
Averted in the main quest, where it is Martin who receives the aid of Akatosh, the Aedric God of Time at the end. You spend most of the main quest as Martin's Lancer and Hypercompetent Sidekick. However, you are also the Hero of Another Story (two, in fact)...
In the Knights of the Nine expansion, you are seeking the blessed equipment of the ancient hero (and psychopathic racist berserker), Pelinal Whitestrake. Pelinal's ancient enemy, Umaril the Unfeathered has returned and is seeking to destroy the Nine Divines for supporting his enemies thousands of years ago. Throughout the expansion's main quest, you are guided by the mysterious Prophet in retrieving these artifacts. It's strongly implied that the Prophet is really Talos, the Deity of Human Origin Ninth Divine, in disguise.
In the Shivering Isles expansion, you enter the titular realm at the behest of its master, Sheogorath, the Daedric Prince of Madness. He serves as your divine patron throughout as you attempt to end the Eternal Recurrence destruction of his realm by his Arch-Enemy Jyggalag, the Daedric Prince of Order. The situation ends up being a bit more complicated that Sheogorath lets on, and at the end, he passes the mantle of Mad God onto you.

In a literal case of the call twinking someone, Homestuck's Eridan finds Ahab's Crosshairs, "just about the most powerful weapon [the riflekind] specubus will allow." It was left by his Ancestor, and due to the nature of the game he was probably set up to get it long before he entered the game proper.

Very much played with in With Strings Attached. The four are told that they received their considerable magic from the Fans and the C'hovite gods so that they'll be equipped to go on the Vasyn quest. However, this is not the true situation at all. John is first transformed because the Fans have to save his life, and Shag intends to change him back as soon as she can figure out how. Then Ringo independently crops up psychic, and the Fans realize they'd better make sure George and Paul get magic too, or things will be quite awkward amongst the four. It's only after the four are fully empowered that the C'hovite gods notice them and hire them (via the Fans) to go on the Vasyn quest.
And that's a lie too. What really happened is that over Winter Solstice Vacation, Jeft got ambitious and decided to set the four on the Vasyn quest because it was something interesting for them to do.

Skyrim:
As a Dragonborn, you are a mortal gifted with immortal Aedric soul of a dragon by Akatosh himself. However, this gift does not reveal itself until there are actually dragons present, which happens very early in the main quest. Those who are Dragonborn come with an innate understanding of the Thu'um, the draconic Language of Magic which allows for small scale Reality Warping. When a dragon is slain, a Dragonborn can absorb its soul, permanently killing the dragon while boosting the powers of the Dragonborn.
In the Dragonborn DLC, your patron (whether you like it or not) is Hermaeus Mora, the Daedric Prince of Knowledge. In exchange for performing services for him, he teaches you the final word of the "Bend Will" shout, which allows you to ride dragons. By the end of the DLC's main quest, Mora sees you as his new champion. Again, whether you like it or not...

Ghost Roads: Rose often has to turn to the routewitches or the gods themselves for aid.
In the first book, she goes to their queen's court, where she gets a Power Tattoo that imbues her with the blessing of Persephone, protecting her from Bobby Cross.
In the third book, when she's finally about to confront Bobby, she prays for a weapon, and finds a scythe in the dirt. It becomes part of her when her act of vengeance turns her into one of the Furies.

Common throughout The Elder Scrolls series. Not even counting the optional Daedric sidequests, the Player Character usually receives some form of divine aid during the main quest. To note:
In Morrowind, you are (supposedly) the prophesied reincarnation of St. Nerevar, as foretold by the Daedric Prince Azura, Nerevar's patron deity. About halfway through the main quest, after fulfilling the first portion of the prophesy and finding the secret Cavern of the Incarnate, Azura gifts you Nerevar's Moon-and-Star ring. Forged by the ancient Dwemer and blessed by Azura herself to kill anyone that tries to wear it except for Nerevar, it serves as a symbol identifying you as the Nerevarine and allowing you to fulfill the rest of the prophesy.

In the Inheritance Cycle, dragons grant magical powers right off, though it takes some instruction to use them properly. Over time, they also increase all the physical attributes of their rider. Ostensibly, anyway. The only people shown to be bonded with dragons are either very old, and thus have already gone through quite a bit of this, or get a Plot Relevant Upgrade fairly early on. Also, provided both partners aren't killed they'll live more-or-less forever. Technically Age Without Youth, but with enough power, one can look as old or young as they wish.
