** ''Literature/FantasticBeastsAndWhereToFindThem'' also introduces Chizpurfles, tiny magical parasites that are attracted to sources of magic and feed on them. If they can't find any magic, they will instead attack electronic Muggle devices, which explains why sometimes such brand-new devices randomly stop working.

* ''ComicBook/HasbroComicUniverse'': In this continuity, magic is inimical to all forms of technology, ''especially'' MechanicalLifeforms such as Cybertronians. At the end of ''ComicBook/FirstStrike'', [[spoiler:Garrison Kreiger reveals himself to be Merklynn and not only subdues the incoming Cybertronians with his magic, but proceeds to use the Talisman to terraform Cybertron, in the process corrupting the remaining energon reserves and rendering them unconsumable by the Cybertronians as if it were poisoned]]. In the ensuing ''ComicBook/TransformersVsVisionaries'', the Cybertronians find themselves outmatched by the Prysmosians due to their magical capabilities, and over the course of the novel the heroic Spectral Knights wound up developing the first forms of magic that are not only not harmful to technology, but can heal Cybertronians.

This trope is when the presence of [[BackgroundMagicField magic floating]] in the air actively interferes with or harms technological devices. These magical energy/forces act as a setting-wide version of a WalkingTechbane -- thus ensuring that magic and technology could never coexist in the same vicinity, [[EnforcedTechnologyLevels resulting]] in a MedievalStasis.

* ''Fanfic/ChildOfTheStorm'' While the setting at large adheres to this, Tony Stark (who is not a wizard himself but works with many magic users) has managed to "magic proof" certain pieces of technology (like his smart phone). As a result, he has to put up with being called "Midgard's most skilled blacksmith" and the like by his Asgardian allies because they don't have words for "engineer" or "scientist". He doesn't mind, in fact he rather [[AwesomeMcCoolname enjoys]] the title of "Lord Stark" that this brings with it.

[[MagicVersusScience Science and magic don't get along]], according to a lot of fiction. A HighFantasy setting where magical forces are the norm rarely has modern conveniences. Conversely, a modern or futuristic setting saturated with technology is unlikely to feature overt mystical powers and spells, even if certain high-end gadgets [[ClarkesThirdLaw have borderline fantastic abilities and functions]].

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Young Justice|2010}}'': Like the comics, ComicBook/BlueBeetle Jaime Reyes uses a piece of alien technology called a Scarab that allows him to don a [[PoweredArmor powerful suit of armor]] which grants him a number of different abilities and weaponry. The Scarab was created by an alien race known as the Reach to act as the vanguard of their invasions by infiltrating worlds and taking control of one of the natives. However, Jaime's Scarab initially did not take control of him because the Reach database was cleansed from its memory core when it first landed on Earth by ancient human magic. It was cleansed in another magic ritual near the end of Season Two, in order to free Jaime when the Reach managed to regain control of it. The same ritual also cleansed another beetle warrior, [[CanonForeigner Green Beetle]] B'arzz O'oomm. A Martian Archeologist who found a Reach Scarab on Mars that subsequently took control of him.
