* ''VideoGame/TheUnholyWar'': In the war between the invading alien Teknos and the sorcerous Arcane, the Teknos aren't just relegated to traditional {{Raygun}} and other standard sci-fi tech (units like the Quicksilver and Killcycles do use these). The Teknos have more esoteric units such as the Tesla (who are beings driven mad by their own electrical powers and supposedly in communication with unknown entities) and the Mantis (ancient mechanical insectoids with gravity powers) who have powers such as teleportation and black hole creation that derive from unknown technology.

* The titular ''Webcomic/{{Archipelago}}'' is full of MagicFromTechnology, so long AfterTheEnd that ClarkesThirdLaw doesn't really mean a lot there. Spirits are [=AI=]s, artifact come in both metal gears and magical jewellry varieties, FisherKing is a legitimate and honored profession and some inhabitants simply have inherited magic from their antcestors.

It's been decided that Manhua and Manhwa examples shall be placed into their own folders.


* A very big point in ''Manhua/CyberWeaponZ'' where the crossing of magic and technology are used in conjunction in order to build much more effective devices than the usual mechanical stuff.

** You have this magic box who can sculpt all sort of things for you (3D printer)
** And the most impressive quality of these technosorceries, it is thriving, widespread and affordable for common folk so not just the archwizards (engineers and scientists) can get it but all the muggles from the richest business man in the West to a subsistence farmer in the Third World can access it.



** Consider something like [[AppliedPhlebotinum warpstone]], a highly unstable substance from which the [[Characters/WarhammerSkaven Skaven]] civilization is dependent, they use it in every aspect of their lives, from magic items, worship, mutagenics, to settlement power generation, telecommunication, weapons ammunition and even food additives, they have started wars and sacrificed millions for their acquisition of the stuff and have literally destroyed entire nations for the thing, now, switch the word "warpstone" for "oil", [[HumansAreBastards yeah]].
