* ''Literature/AHerosWar'':
** Landar's robot suit may indeed have been "too cool not to get built", but it's so ridiculously power-hungry that even her unusually large magic reserves aren't able to supply it for more than a few steps -- and that's from pouring in all the magic she could spare for weeks.
** The university successfully launches a hot-air balloon, using magic-imbued steel as the power source for the heat. It's the first man-made flying vehicle in thousands of years, ever since the precursor civilisations (the First and the Tsarians) fell, but even a short test flight consumes a tremendous amount of power, making it infeasible for any longer trips. [[spoiler:They eventually develop a more feasible design based on a lighter-than-air foam, although it still faces serious engineering difficulties before it can become practical.]]
