A contrivance is anything that "explains" the different problems of the story in an unbelievable or unsatisfying way. Some of the most common are having a deity or magical being cause whatever's happening, having it all be a dream, and having something that the hero needs just pop out of nowhere right when he or she needs it.

Plot contrivances are story elements that feel unrealistic or forced, often used to move the plot forward or resolve conflicts conveniently. Examples include characters suddenly gaining unexplained abilities, convenient coincidences that solve major problems, or last-minute revelations that undo key story developments. These can detract from the overall storytelling and make the plot feel contrived or unbelievable.
