When something or someone is ''literally'' [['''Made of Magic]]''', or at least an [[Applied Phlebotinum|equivalent]].
 
Not to be confused with [[Made of Phlebotinum]], where 'magic' makes the setting work at all (it does count if the setting ''itself'' is [['''Made of Magic]]'''). You may occasionally find someone to be [[Made of Magic|'''Made Of]]''' ''[[Made of Evil|Evil]]'' [[Made of '''Magic|Magic]]'''. A [[Place of Power]] is usually [['''Made of Magic]]''', as well as [[Pure Magic Being|many supernatural beings]].
 
Creatures that are [['''Made of Magic]]''' may in fact be a [[Pure Magic Being]], or an [[Energy Being]], depending on whether the setting has more of a [[Science Fiction]] or a [[Fantasy]] flavor. In a [[Science Fantasy]] setting, the creature might be [[Take a Third Option|both]].

Line 13:
* The entire [[Shinigami]]-world of ''[[Bleach]]'' is ''[[Up to Eleven|made]]'' from 'spirit particles', making those skills that rely on [[Energy Absorption|absorbing]] said particles many times more powerful. There's some fairly nifty scenes where you can see nearby walls and buildings slowly dissolving as the particles are absorbed and redirected into an attack...
* The Living Programs (including Wolkenritter and Materials) in the ''[[Lyrical Nanoha]]'' series are constructs made out of magical energy. Also, the Unison Devices are probably thus, too.
* The Magical World, and most residents in ''[[Mahou Sensei Negima]]'', are [[Made of Magic]]. This makes them vulnerable to beings able to manipulate their substance. (And gives the heroes a resistance since they're made of "mundane" matter.)
* Certain beings (phenomenons, individuals) in ''[[To Aru Majutsu no Index]]'' are made of AIM-field. Most of the time they spontaneously come into existence. [[Magic: The Gathering|You can't have so many Espers (and Mages) living so close together, all practicing so much crazy powers, and not expect some feedback.]]
* The Servants (Heroic Spirits) in ''[[Fate/stay night]]'' and ''[[Fate/Zero]]'' are made of Mana, and will disappear when their Master can no longer channel Mana into them {{spoiler|such as when Lancelot kills Kariya by overdraining the latter's Mana}}. A lesser version of this are the Homunculus {{spoiler|such as Irisviel and her daughter Ilyasviel}} who are walking circuits of magic in the shape of human beings.
Line 36:
* The world of ''[[Exalted]]'' is the great grand master pimp-daddy of this trope, and takes it for all it's worth. ''Everything'', from the lowliest [[Puny Earthlings|mortal]], to the [[Big Good|Unconquered Sun]], from the most solid center of [[Flat World|Creation]], to the pure chaos of the [[Chaos World|Wyld]], is made of [[Mana|Essence]].
* ''[[Dungeons and Dragons]]''
** Outsiders are beings from [[Alternate Dimension|Alternate Dimensions]]s called the Outer Planes and are made from their respective magical birthplaces. Pre-4th edition, they were:
*** [[Our Demons Are Different|Fiends]] as a whole are made from the lower planes, with [[Chaotic Evil|Demons]], [[Neutral Evil|Yugoloths]], and [[Lawful Evil|Devils]] coming from the Abyss, Gray Waste, and Baator respectively.
*** [[Our Angels Are Different|Angels]] and other celestial beings come from the upper planes, with [[Lawful Good|Archons]], [[Neutral Good|Guardinals]] and [[Chaotic Good|Eladrin]] coming from Mount Celestia, Elysium, and Arborea respectively. Angels uniquely can come from any of the celestial planes, and have no infernal counterpart.
Line 49:
* Every entity that exists in the UG in ''[[The World Ends With You]]'' is made of matter called Soul.
* In ''[[Valkyrie Profile]]'' games, the Valkyrie employ souls of dead warrior re-materialized in the world with [[Call a Hit Point a Smeerp|Divine Materialization Energy]]. So while in the world, they are made of Divine magic. {{spoiler|That this includes the Valkyrie is an important point in the game, beyond being able to heal her with things that heal materialized Einherjars.}}
* ''[[Heroes of Might and Magic]] III: Armageddon's Blade'' featured Magic Elementals, who were [[Elemental Embodiment|Elemental Embodiments]]s of [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|magic]].
