We have seen video games with abilities, though they aren't always fandom-related.

When Per refers to the metronome thing, he is referring to Johann Maelzel's Metronome (In case you weren't sure, I did link it on the artifact to the main wiki. Let me know if you've got that down now.). Basically, this artifact can resurrect the dead (as long as they are "freshly dead" - I'm assuming that part) and keep them alive, but at a price. The user who activates the Metronome takes the pain for both themselves and the resurrected. Stopping the metronome kills the resurrected. The only way for the resurrected to stay alive and be free of the metronome is to commit an act of true love.
