* ''[[Bleach]]''. Everything in the Soul Society is made of [[Phlebotinum|spirit particles]].
** So is everything in Hueco Mundo.
* ''[[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann]]''. The world runs on Spiral Energy, quite literally the quintessence of determination, [[Hot-Blooded|hot blood]], love, and willpower.
** As one commenter on [[YouTube]] put it...
{{quote|Youtube Commenter: I'm not sure which is weirder, the way the universe in this series works, or the fact that the universe works EXACTLY HOW KAMINA THINKS IT DOES!}}

* ''[[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.]]
* ''[[Tales of Symphonia]]'' and ''[[Tales of Phantasia]]'' are like this. The main focus for most of both games is preserving the mana flow and thus preventing the collapse of the world. Without it, magic won't work, crops won't grow, etc.

** No, you can't. That's why attempting to do so is bankrupting Cornelia. Their king is just crazy.

* In the blog-novel ''[[Flyover City]]!'' – Malphysical Particles create a cosmic loophole which render the laws of physics “malleable”, allowing the story’s superheroes to do all those superhero-y things that are impossible in the real world.
* The world of ''[[Tales of MU]]'' is driven by [[Magitek]], the physics are based on [[A Wizard Did It]], and from the point of view of people in other worlds, a knife that was said to be "barely enchanted" is ''[[Made of Magic|made out of magic]]''.
