* Creator/LarryNiven's ''Literature/TheMagicGoesAway'':
** The stories had dragons, mermaids, were-creatures, gods and such that metabolized {{Mana}}. This was a kind of [[GreenAesop environmental metaphor]]; when human wizards started using up the mana faster than it could regenerate, all the fantastic creatures went *poof*.
** The [[DoomsdayDevice ultimate weapon]] of the setting was a magic disk. Powered by a simple propulsion spell with no speed limiters (and a [[RequiredSecondaryPowers secondary spell]] to keep it from tearing itself apart), it simply spun around uselessly and thus wasted ''all'' the Mana in the area. Wizards were left powerless, werewolves lost their "were-", and ageless beings suddenly began feeling their age. This is the origin of the ''TabletopGame/MagicTheGathering'' card "[[SdrawkcabName Nevinyrral's]] Disk", which does pretty much the same thing.
* Something similar happened in ''Literature/{{Xanth}}'' when the Demon of the same name temporarily absented himself from the realm.
** In addition, when Demoness Metria traveled to Mundania, she had to be accompanied by a guy whose talent was to project an 'aisle' of magic around him whenever he was in Mundania, because a minor demon's Mundane form is a dust devil. How the minor demons survived the Time of No Magic (when Demon Xanth left) is a FridgeLogic question.
*** Because they hadn't been introduced to the series yet? Alternately, possibly Hell isn't part of Xanth.
*** It was noted at the Time that the deep region of rock where Xanth abided had soaked up so much magic from his long stay to function as a battery. (There's a village which falsely believes ''they'' act as the source of the realm's magic by creating storms to spread magic-charged dust which comes up from the rock nearby - they have no idea of its ultimate source.) Demons were established at the time as already living deep underground where magic was already more powerful due to this, and their personal power somewhat dependent on how deep their society permitted them to reside. Taking in refugees from above would probably let most of them survive during Xanth's absence, or at least not sustained irreversible damage.
* Ungoliant in ''Literature/TheSilmarillion'' will eat pretty much anything, but magic trees imbued with the primordial light of creation (and shiny elven stones imbued in turn with a spark of that same light) just happen to be delicious.
