Games with aspect transfer mechanics - an IFDB Poll

One really cool thing about interactive fiction games is that they don't need to conform to normal physics. Sometimes, a game will let you take an abstract quality from something, as if it was its own object, and use it on something else to give that thing that quality. I can think of five games that do something like that. Are there others?
