Line 38:
* The [[Expansion Pack World|Old World]] from Terry Goodkind's [[Sword of Truth]] is a type B example. Ultra powerful wizards and various magical weapons are used for the cause of Magic Is Bad. At the same time, the Anti-Magic Faction's leaders are conferring [[Immortality]] upon themselves.
* The Whitecloaks in [[The Wheel of Time]], as well as the country of Amadicia and the Seanchan (The first two kill, the third enslave and treat like pets. YMMV on which is worse.)
** Tear is an odd variation- [[Functional Magic|channeling]] is illegal in Tear, but channelers aren't actively hunted so long as they keep it to themselves, and the Tairens actually send ''more'' [[Gender-Restricted Ability|daughters]] to [[Wizarding School|the White Tower]] than anyone, if only because it's the handiest way to quietly get rid of a channeling relative.
* Galbatorix in [[Inheritance]] has the ultimate goal of restricting all magic use, though he doesn't wish to wipe it out entirely. He claims that magic is the great unfairness in the world, as someone either can or cannot use it; there is no learning to use magic.
Line 103:
*** {{spoiler|Of course, as far as we know, there's no applications of energybending besides taking away peoples' bending abilities, and it's not even certain what Amon is doing is actually energybending.}}
* ''[[The Life and Times of Juniper Lee]]'' has Humans for the Abolishment of Magic ([[Fun with Acronyms|HAM]]), a [[Government Agency of Fiction|secret government agency]] that employs [[Powered Armor]] and [[Power Crystals]] that allow its agents to [[Invisible to Normals|see through]] [[The Masquerade]].
* In the TV series [[American Dragon: Jake Long]], the Huntsclan seek to find and destroy all magical creatures, believing them to be unnatural.
* Implied with Lord Farquaad in [[Shrek]]. Farquaad banishes all magical creatures from his kingdom, apparently finding them to be disgusting. However, his possible anti-magic beliefs were never looked into or discussed, so it's a little unclear.
** A bit of [[Hypocrite|hypocrisy]] to that is that he keeps the Magic Mirror with him.
