Common words spelled this way are "magic", "vampire", "fairy", and "fantasy", among others.

* Mention must be made of the series of young adult fantasy novels by Angie Sage whose titles include ''Magick, Flyte, Physik, Queste,'' and so on.
* The different tribes of Trollocs in ''[[The Wheel of Time]]'': Al'ghol, Ahf'frait, Bhansheen, Dha'vol, Dhai'mon, Dhjin'nen, Ghar'ghael, Ghob'hlin, Gho'hlem, Ghraem'lan, Ko'bal, Kno'mon.
* In addition to the above vampire/vampyre example, various words in the Darkangel Trilogy have odd spellings, {{spoiler|which may be justified as corruptions of the original language of the Ancient Ones}}. Squatty underground-dwellers are [[Our Dwarves Are All the Same|duaroughs]], big black birds are rhuks, scaly creatures are [[Our Dragons Are Different|dracgs]], and sweet pale-orange fruits are [[How Do You Like Them Apples?|apricoks]].
** And "lyons," "sfinxes," and (in the ''[[Firebringer Trilogy]]'') "wyches."
** Aside from the aforementioned corruptions, there is also the possibility that all of them would be, to us, [[Biological Mashup|BiologicalMashUps]] which look sort of like their semi-namesakes. After all, the series also has [[Amazing Technicolor Population|technicolor humans]], and remember that {{spoiler|the entire place was terraformed by the Ancient Ones from Oceanus.}}
