Editing Magitek (section)

===Non-/tg/ Examples===
* Magitek gets its name from [[Final Fantasy]] VI. Magitek is used in two ways. The first is Magitek armor. For the player it allows them to select three elemental attacks and a one person healing ability. While a half-esper gets a bio-blast, the ability to confuse the enemy party, a missile attack or an instant kill ability against non bosses. There are also Magitek soldiers, created by sucking the life out of Espers (The summon monsters of the game) and infusing it into humans. The two female main protagonists Terra (the half-esper) and Celes are examples. They will gain magic without needing magicite (Esper corpses, [[What|including Terra's father]]). The primary antagonist Kefka also went through the process and came out mentally insane because of it. Gau can also use Magitek from certain enemies but their abilities are not useful unless the player knows what they do before hand.
**Since then Magitek has been used across the Final Fantasy franchise in various forms.
* Harry Turtledove's "Darkness" series is an Alternate History/Low Fantasy hybrid series of books concerning an analogue to [[/tg/ History#Shit Sandwich II: All You Can Eat Buffet (1939–1945)|World War II]] being fought by civilizations wielding industrialized magic; D&D style energy-throwing "sticks" as guns, [[dragon]]s carrying alchemy-filled "eggs" as fighter jets and fighter-bombers, enormous rhino-like "Behemoths" as tanks, sea-serpent-like "Leviathans" as submarines, and so forth.
* The Escaflowne anime is famous for its Guymelefs, giant mecha consisting of giant armor suits with clockwork innards powered by the crystalline hearts of dragons.
* Harry Dresden, being a archetypical urban fantasy setting, has lots of examples of magic enchantments being applied to standard technology. However, it is played with in that it is an established rule that mortals (read, humans) with magic do interfere with technology, with the degree of disruption being proportionate to the magical power of the individual. So a pretty minor talent may just have to replace their cell phone every six months because it blue screened, while a full wizard can't spend too long around a computer without it frying. On the other hand, nonhuman creatures can basically turn this off and on at will, so most examples of magitek in this series are made by beings like Fae and Svartalfs.
** Same thing happens in Harry Potter as well.
* The [[Discworld]] setting makes at least some use of the industrialized magic variety; the most prominent examples are the cameras, which use little imps to paint pictures instead of photoreactive chemicals, and a magical supercomputer named HEX.
* The Iron Dragon's Daughter is a very dark faerie-tale themed fantasy setting using industrialized magic. For example, as the title suggests, dragons are clockwork-bodied monsters built by elves as their equivalent to fighter jets.
* The novel ''Megami Tensei'' has the main character create a computer program that automates demon summoning rituals ("Demon" in the Greek sense of any supernatural being, not necessarily fallen angels) in an attempt to get back at the elites of his school that goes horribly wrong. The Shin Megami Tensei video game series descended from the novel continues this with most non-Persona, non-Avatar Tuner main characters using such a program. The prominent exceptions are the hero of the third game (who has a demonic parasite), and Raidou Kuzunoha (who, being from the 1920s, must use comparatively primitive substitutes but still has plenty of magitek due to a local mad scientist). It often expands beyond that with modern demons based on myths around things such as haunted cars.
* The relatively obscure and underground manga, ''The Witch and the Beast'' combines witchcraft with Art Deco and Film Noir. Imagine a world somewhere in the technological era of the 1920s-1930s. Lots of zeppelins, Art Deco is at its height, and everyone has so much goddamn drip. Oh yeah, and some of the applications are powered by industrialised magic. As in, magic is used to power floating castles and magical UCAVs. That and witches are one-man armies. The end result is a world bearing more resemblance to Bioshock than Full Metal Alchemist. Which is [[Awesome|fucking awesome]]. Seriously, tell me any dark fantasy manga that uses ''Art Deco'' as a stylistic choice. This shit is unique.
