* Generally, ''TabletopGame/MagicTheGathering'' just depicts as as a tool or as a form of self-expression, so there usually isn't an addictive component unless there is a curse involved. However, in earlier fluff Black and Red tended to intoxicate their spellcasters - being the colors of individuality and self-indulgence, it's not hard to see why.

* In the ''Fanfic/TriptychContinuum'', there's an element of this to ''Talents'', or magic stemming from a pony's cutie mark. All ponies experience some degree of what's locally known as "flank-brain" when they first get their mark, as the surge of pleasure that comes from triggering their ''talent'' produces something of a Pavlovian conditioning effect. Friends and family usually try to intervene, but the spectrum of varying levels of addiction to mark-magic, locally known as "falling into the mark", remains the most prominent mental illness in Equestria.

Arcane casters don't get addicted to spellcasting but can easily become addicted to the defiling ''method'' and never learn or use preserving. This is not good.

* In ''Videogame/MegaManBattleNetwork'', the Dark Chips (very powerful versions of normal Battle Chips, MadeOfEvil) are stated to be addicting to use; just one use will lead to the Net Navi slowly getting more and more dependent on it. Dark Chip users also tend to become easily irritated and being pricks. In gameplay terms, the Dark Chip, if you have any, will come out to your chip selection window when Mega Man is in the "anxious" state (if he gets hit a lot without retaliating), pretty much tempting the player to use it to turn the tides; the more you use it, the easier Mega Man will get "anxious". Using them will also give the effect of MaximumHpReduction per each use, much like how drugs slowly eat your body.
