** ''ComicBook/DoctorStrange'': ''ComicBook/DoctorStrangeAndTheSorcerersSupreme'' involves a [=MacGuffin=] known as the Word of God that appears to be a spellbook of unimaginable power. Turns out the spellbook is actually advanced technology from an extradimensional alien being that magic users just happen to have an affinity for. Using its spells draws the owner to the dimension it resides it.

* Downplayed and partly averted in ''Literature/SixtyEightRooms'' by Mariannne Malone. Jack showed Thomas (from the seventeenth century) a flashlight, but tried to explain how it worked. Thomas, eight-years-old, doesn't understand, but comments that if it was witchcraft, he wasn't afraid of it. [[spoiler:Thomas later becomes an inventor.]]

* ''VideoGame/{{Rimworld}}'': The archotechs are a collective of super-intelligent [=AIs=] which have converted entire planets into gargantuan computing units, [[DeusEstMachina functionally becoming gods]]. It's possible to find artifacts of archotech origin, which function as the InfinityPlusOneSword items of the setting, as they are extremely rare, very powerful, and cannot be reproduced. The FlavorText for such items will frequently note that they seem to defy the laws of physics and how they function is beyond the understanding of even the most advanced human minds. The backstory of the ''Anomaly'' DLC takes this to an even greater extreme, as an archotech became a MadGod and turns the setting into a CosmicHorrorStory, complete with SoulEating monsters, [[ArtifactOfDoom artifacts of doom]], attacks from hordes of undead, and an EldritchAbomination MeatMoss attempting to consume the entire planet, somehow all products of an AI gone insane with power.
