Heh. Probably related (Larry Niven):

The Warlock raised the inscribed knife.

"That won't work. No more magic." Hap slapped the Warlock's hand away
and took the Warlock by his bony throat.

The Warlock's hand brushed easily aside, and came back, and up. Hap
wrapped his arms around his belly and backed away with his eyes and
mouth wide open. He sat down hard.

"A knife always works," said the Warlock.

"Oh," said Hap.
