King Midas thought of the Golden Touch as a great boon, but it ultimately robbed him of his greatest treasure: his daughter. Would you give up the gifts, love, and life you possess to get what you desire? Beware the allure of Desire, however, because it doesn't always work in your favor - people may not truly understand the full effects of what they desire, and the gift itself can end up becoming its own cost. This trope has a simple dramatic purpose: it prevents the pitfalls of a typical Story-Breaker Power by adding laws and the elements of choice and sacrifice. To acquire the ability to perform something, induce motion, bring change - to bring something into existence, grant a wish, heal a loved one, or even bring someone back to life - someone must give up another thing of equal value. Alphonse Elric, numerous times throughout the series, Fullmetal Alchemist (2003)
