* Glossaryck and the Magic High Commission in ''WesternAnimation/StarVsTheForcesOfEvil''. [[spoiler: When Star destroys the magic, they all fade out of existence.]]

* ''LightNovel/DateALive:

A pure magic being is [[MadeOfMagic magic incarnate]]. Such beings have extraordinarily strong magical powers, sometimes approaching godlike levels. For Pure Magic Beings, magical energy is frequently indistinguishable from LifeEnergy, so that running out of magic power means death, or fading out of existence. Things that consume or drain magic can be very dangerous to Pure Magic Beings.

** [[TheMovie Mayuri Judgment]]'' features the titular Mayuri, created from the collective energy possessed by the [[MagicalGirlWarrior Spirits]]. She inherited their feelings for [[TheHero Shido]] and has been observing their dates over the course of the movie. Unlike the regular Spirits, however, Mayuri does not possess complete control over her [[WeaponOfChoice Angel]], which goes on a rampage, [[spoiler:forcing Mayuri to sacrifice her life to stop it]].

!!Examples:

* Yue from ''Manga/CardcaptorSakura.'' As a being created from the moon (which is only able to reflect power, not generate it) he is in danger of ceasing to exist because Sakura is too young to generate enough magic to support his existence.

* On ''WesternAnimation/{{Gargoyles}},'' [[TheHero Goliath]] describes [[TheFairFolk the Third Race]] as "beings of pure magic." Their ruler, [[ChaoticNeutral Oberon]], is basically a PhysicalGod, and even [[GreatGazoo Puck]] manages to shapeshift an entire city twice in one night.

* The Father, the Son and the Daughter in ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars.''

* ''Dan And Mab's Furry Adventures'': [[http://http://missmab.com/Comics/Vol_1710.php A recent page]] strongly implies that Clan leaders (Cubi who have ascended to Tri-Wing status) become this during their ascension [[spoiler:if they survive the process]].

* Planeswalkers used to be this in ''TabletopGame/MagicTheGathering. Then the Mending reduced them all to "merely" powerful mages.

* The imps from Terry Pratchetts ''Literature/Discworld'' series. While not as powerful as other examples on this page, imps are tiny magic based demons, that while lacking in any imagination whatsoever, can be summoned and programmed by the Discs wizards to perform a variety of functions. They seem to be able to turn regular food into magical energy, as without feeding they simply evaporate and disappear.

* Imps in ''VideoGame/DungeonKeeper'' and its sequel can only be summoned to your dungeon through the use of a spell and, while they do not require the usual lair, food and pay of your other minions, they subsist entirely off of their keepers mana {{Mana}}. In the sequel it was entirely possible for your imps to fade from existence should your magical reserves run too low.

* Spren in ''Literature/TheStormlightArchive''. Though some of them are very powerful and intelligent in their own Realm, they are almost mindless in the Physical Realm unless they find a human to bond to. Such a bond lets the spren use the human's brain and the human use the spren's powers.

* Ghosts and other strange things in ''AtelierSeries'' games effectively have 0 HP, but they will, uh, die when they have 0 MP. It's possible for a ghost character --such as the recurring character Pamela-- to, well, kill themselves by casting spells that require more MP than they have.

* The [[PhysicalGod "Aggregate Sentiences"]] in ''VideoGame/TalesOfTheAbyss'' are this, and since the same spirits show up as [[SummonMagic summons]] in most installments of the Tales Series, it's theorized that this is the case for other instances of the spirits as well.

* ''Webcomic/TheDementiaOfMagic'': Nasal flies are creatures made of pure magic. However, they're made of pure ''faulty'' magic, created when mages cast spells completely incorrectly, to the point where the spell winds up not doing anything else other than making a nasal fly.

* ''Dan And Mab's Furry Adventures'': [[http://http://missmab.com/Comics/Vol_1710.php A recent page]] strongly implies that Clan leaders (Cubi who have ascended to Tri-Wing status) become this during their ascension [[spoiler:if they survive]].

* The nether demons of ''{{Drowtales}}'' are made out of pure nether {{Mana}}, a far more potent version of the energy Fae use for sorcery. They exist in alternate universes, that any summoner with proper training can open a gate into and unleash them onto the world. These demons have no physical form and typically are unintelligent, spending all their time in the physical world feeding off of mana and auras of the plants and animals around them. They are feared and hated by most Drow, as demons also having the nasty habit of invading the bodies of aura bearing creatures, either simply tainting them, or taking over their entire body and killing the host, well twisting it into a mindless creature that attacks anything nearby.
** [[spoiler: It is revealed later in the series that the ''audience and readers'' of ''{{Drowtales}}'' are in fact also demons, which can only be seen by Kiel.]]

** Unison and Intelligent Devices are magical constructs with [=AIs=] sophisticated enough to count as characters independent of their wielders. Some Unison Devices even verge on the OurPhlebotinumChild territory.
