== [[Fan Works]] ==
* In ''[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13439553/1/That-Was-Part-of-the-Plan That Was Part of the Plan]'', the second of a series of ''[[Harry Potter]]'' fics by LysandraLeigh, it's revealed by a character who claims to have been there at its creation that Hogwarts was originally an entirely ''conjured'' structure, capable of [[Transforming Mecha|reconfiguring itself]] as needed for defense or other purposes. However, after a couple generations this was forgotten, and new wings and expansions were added to it with mundane materials, limiting its ability to restructure itself ''and'' weakening its wards.
* So-called "solid energy" projections created by Doug Sangnoir in ''[[Drunkard's Walk]]'' seem to be this, and vanish once he stops sustaining them.
 
== [[Literature]] ==
* Everything in the magical world in ''[[The Dark Lord of Derkholm]]'' contains magic in it to the point that people from another world were digging up dirt in that world and smuggling it into their magic-less world to do magic (and make a lot of cash).
* ''[[Discworld]]'' isn't made of magic, but it is explicitly noted in the novel ''[[Discworld/The Last Hero|The Last Hero]]'' that without magic the turtle would die, the seas run dry, the sun burn out and crash, and the elephants would cease to exist altogether. And that would happen within a few seconds of magic ceasing to exist.
** A more direct example is the tower Coin constructs in ''[[Discworld/Sourcery|Sourcery]]'' which is literally willed into being from magic made solid:
{{quote|'''Coin: '''It is made of magic. Raw magic. Solidified. Curdled. Renewed from second to second. Could you imagine a better substance to build the new home of sourcery?}}
* ''[[The Princess Series]]'' features {{spoiler|the Seven Dwarves}} as living representations of elements, the last of which is magic.
* In ''[[The Dresden Files]]'', the [[Eldritch Location|Nevernever]] and all it's [[Our Spirits Are Different|inhabitants]] are this.
 
== [[Live -Action TV]] ==
* In ''[[Monty Python's Flying Circus]]'', The Amazing Mystico and Janet [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=APoweyWW2vg put up blocks of flats] using the power of hypnosis.
{{quote|Of course they're safe. There's absolutely no doubt about that. They are as strong, solid and as safe as any other building method in this country. Provided of course people believe in them.}}
