* ''[[World of Warcraft]]'' seems more Made of Phlebotinum than most fantasy worlds, what with all its [[Magitek|magically-powered civilizations]] and such. What's also notable is the multitudes of flavors of [[Phlebotinum]]; The Draeni lean towards magic crystals [[Imported Alien Phlebotinum|given them by the Naaru]], [[Our Elves Are Better|Blood Elves]] throw around Arcane magic like it's going out of style, the [[Our Gnomes Are Weirder|Gnomes]] love their tech, with a healthy dose of Arcane, and the [[Everything's Better with Cows|Tauren]] stick to their [[Nature Hero|hunting, gathering, and communion with nature]]. |

** According to [http://www.viddler.com/rooreynolds/videos/26/ this] video, Azeroth is a sphere about 12 kilometers across, with a density around a hundred times that of Earth. This explains why when you drop an item it disappears; due to the gravity it is crushed into an extremely fine powder spread over a wide area. |

* In ''[[Chrono Trigger]]'', the magical floating continent of Zeal is this. It completely depends on magical energy to stay aloft and its residents do pretty much everything by magic. |

* ''[[Touhou]]'' is pretty much supposed to be where, when [[The Magic Goes Away]] on the rest of the Earth because [[Magic Versus Science|the progress of technology leads to a lack of faith in magic]], all the magic is swept up and kept inside Gensokyo so that all the monsters, demons, and Gods can still live their magically supercharged lives. The technology is generally [[Bamboo Technology]] hybrids with [[Magitek]], or simply stolen from "[[This Is Reality|the Real World]]". It is also worth noting that even the [[Muggles]] have ''some'' kind of superpower in Gensokyo, it's just that you only hear about the [[Really Seven Hundred Years Old|world-bendingly powerful little girls.]] |
