I'm looking for some inspiration for a story idea I have in mind. So re there any stories out there where a kind or a young adult gets a toy or an item that looks normal at first glance, but then turns out to be magical or special and gives the kid or adult powers or magic which he either uses for good or for things like mischief.

Yeah it's the plot to like 80% of direct to DVD bargain bin movies.
Consider suicide.

I know its not that original, I was just curious to see what kind of stories have already been told with this idea.

At it's best it becomes a "looks can be deceiving" or "don't rely on borrowed power" trope but it's usually a Mcguffin trope.
It's an absolute turd of storytelling.
