Line 83:
* In ''[[Forgotten Realms]]'', Drow culture is dependent on magical radiations so that cities were born and died when such deposits appeared and disappeared. Averted with vengeance in Sshamath, which managed to cross the deficiency period and emerge even stronger, having usual cheap solutions replaced with true arcane magic. This made it dependent on wizardry.
** Most cities of Netheril were placed on artificial levitating islands. And when all magic was disabled for a minute or two... Since then, the relevant deity turns magic off "for maintenance" every few centuries, so no long-lasting civilization dares to depend on it ''that'' much.
* In ''[[Warhammer 40000]]'' the Imperium ''needs'' the emperor to stay alive. He is using his psychic might to keep a hole in reality closed. He also plays a role in at least some psykers getting sanctioned, making them more powerful and giving them a little resistance against demonic possession. The Imperium depends on psykers he sanctions for faster than light communication. He also fights the chaos gods on their own turf. But most importantly he, he psychically calibrates the astromicon. The Imperium depends on the astromicon to make [[Hyperspace Is a Scary Place|interstellar travel]] safer. In addition he is on a life support system called the Golden Throne, and its beginning to no longer work, and nobody save for the emperor even knows how it works. Well some fans actually think that if the emperor dies his spirit will continue to protect the imperium from within the warp, usually they claim that he would do a better job of it if he died.
