This is the sort of thing A.C. is undergoing right now. As much as she dislikes being identified as Sailor Mars, there is enough general belief for this in the Senshi faction that it is influencing the Handwavium in her body, and thus influencing her. I felt it was a 'logical' (logical being in quotes because Handwavium has its own logic, so to speak) consciquence of how Handwavium works. You want your car to fly, you get airtight seals and an engine that causes an anti-gravity effect. The fact that someone's done it means YOU can do it too.
In A.C.'s case, the two conflicting beliefs (fore and against) are balanced because A.C. has the home advantage (being the mind in CONTROL of said body of 'wavium).
Such a thing does have its downside. The fact something CAN be done means that something LIKE IT can ALSO be done. Depending on what the initial thing was, you may not WANT anyone to know it's been done. It's for reasons like these that some people keep the processes to create certain things a secret.
Thus be careful what you make with Handwavium. This is why Pratchett's Law is so useful.
