** Outside even the Outer Planes lies the [[EldritchLocation Far Realm]], which can be considered the home of [[StarFishAlien Pure Alien]] magic.

* The world of ''TabletopGame/{{Exalted}}'' is the great grand master pimp-daddy of this trope, and takes it for all it's worth. ''Everything'', from the lowliest [[PunyEarthlings mortal]], to the [[BigGood Unconquered Sun]], from the most solid center of [[FlatWorld Creation]], to the pure chaos of the [[ChaosWorld Wyld]], is made of [[{{Mana}} Essence]].
* Will Workers can learn to make artifacts and creatures out of the raw stuff of magic when they've learned the upper levels of the Prime sphere in ''TabletopGame/MageTheAscension''.
* ''Everything'' (save for Planeswalkers) in ''TabletopGame/MagicTheGathering''. According to Wizards' MagiBabble, every card you play are Mana-based magical copies of beings existing on the other side of Blind Eternity. (Prior to this {{Retcon}} they were the real thing, summoned and enslaved by your might. [[YouBastard Guess that made some players feel bad.]])
** As more inclusive examples, angels and demons are manifestations of white and black mana respectively, and so are possibly other beings like archons.

* ''TabletopGame/WarhammerAgeOfSigmar'': Realmstone is a magical substance that forms wherever the magic that defines one of the eight Mortal Realms becomes concentrated enough to solidify into a tangible stubstance; thus, in Aqshy, the Realm of Fire, particularly high concentrations of ambient fire magic have a chance of fossilizing into Brightstone, which can be used as fuel for ''very'' potent acts of pyromancy. This material is rare, valuable, and ''incredibly'' unstable and dangerous, and each of the Realms has a different kind of Realmstone that has different effects (the aforementioned Brightstone might make people around it irrationally angry, for instance, or simply explode if handled improperly).
* Daemons in ''TabletopGame/{{Warhammer}}'' and ''TabletopGame/Warhammer40000'' are composed of pure magic - the raw substance of Chaos itself. Meaning they can't stay for long in realspace, fortunately.

* Ledgermayne, the Seventh Lord of Chaos from ''VideoGame/AdventureQuestWorlds'', is a being of chaorrupted mana incarnate.
* Araune of ''Franchise/BlazBlue'' WasOnceAMan, but overexposure to the Boundary has turned him into a gibbering blob of liquid [[{{Mana}} sethir]]. Celica's ability to erode sethir makes Arakune panic and feel sick whenever she's near him. Terumi also feels sick from this effect as well, implying that his ghost form is also a pure magic being.

* With the Conjuration school of magic in ''Franchise/TheElderScrolls'' series, a mage can summon weapons and companions made of magic.
* Espers in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVI'', which is a very bad thing since the BigBad [[DeityOfHumanOrigin makes himself into the god of magic]]. Also several enemies, most notably the Ultima / Atma weapon and everything in the Cult of Kefka tower, meaning [[GameplayAndStoryIntegration they die if their MP are depleted]].
* ''VideoGame/HeroesOfMightAndMagic III: Armageddon's Blade'' featured Magic Elementals, who were {{Elemental Embodiment}}s of [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin magic]].

* Emma Smith in ''VideoGame/TheSecretWorld'' is a little girl with the ability to manipulate raw [[{{Mana}} anima]]. [[spoiler:Her ''real'' name is literally Anima, and she is one of [[BigGood Gaia]]'s most powerful servants. After she was found as the SoleSurvivor of a fire, one of the firefighters misheard her when she gave her name and assumed it was Emma. This is why the [[MegaCorp Orochi Group]], especially [[HumanoidAbomination Lilith]], is after her.]]
* In ''VideoGame/{{Undertale}}'', all monsters are composed of magic, in contrast to humans being made mostly of physical matter. [[spoiler:Because monsters are magical beings, they instantly turn to dust when they die and their souls are weak compared to a human's soul.]]
* In ''VideoGame/ValkyrieProfile'' games, the Valkyrie employ souls of dead warrior re-materialized in the world with [[CallAHitPointASmeerp Divine Materialization Energy]]. So while in the world, they are made of Divine magic. [[spoiler:That this includes the Valkyrie is an important point in the game, beyond being able to heal her with things that heal materialized Einherjars.]]
* Every entity that exists in the UG in ''VideoGame/TheWorldEndsWithYou'' is made of matter called Soul.
* ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'' has Anveena who is the human form of the Sunwell. The Sunwell is literally nothing BUT a mass of huge magical energy. It also serves as the key to allow Kil'jaeden and other Burning Legion nasties into the world, but Anveena was having none of this and killed herself to stop it all (the portal was already open at the time, her death would close it). After, an alien prophet used the spark of a dead EnergyBeing angel to 'revive' the Sunwell, but Anveena stayed 'dead'.

* In ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive'', Susan's summoned objects are actually temporary magical copies of the items in her chest (and not the transported items themselves) which make them this.
* Jareth's {{Crystal Ball}}s and the Erlkönig's {{Power Crystal}}s in ''Webcomic/{{Roommates}}'' (and probably also in its SpinOff ''Webcomic/GirlsNextDoor'') well aren't props but literal magic spells.

* In the ''Franchise/Ben10'' franchise, {{Mana}} is both LifeEnergy and the fuel for magic. There's a race of EnergyBeing called Anodites who are literally made of the stuff. So is the dimension known as Ledgerdomain, the MagicalLand and EldritchLocation from which all magic in the {{Multiverse}} flows. It's the home of the MageSpecies which spawned recurring villains Hex and Charmcaster. It's also home to the Alpha Rune, which is inscribed with [[IKnowYourTrueName the true name]] of magic itself, making its wielder nigh omnipotent, in or out of Ledgerdomain.

* Daemons in ''TabletopGame/{{Warhammer}}'' and ''TabletopGame/Warhammer40000'' are composed of pure magic - the raw substance of Chaos itself.

* ''LightNovel/ACertainMagicalIndex'': Certain beings (phenomenons, individuals) are made of AIM-field. Most of the time they spontaneously come into existence. [[TabletopGame/MagicTheGathering You can't have so many Espers (and Mages) living so close together, all practicing so much crazy powers, and not expect some feedback.]]

* The Servants (Heroic Spirits) in ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'' and ''LightNovel/FateZero'' are made of Mana, and will disappear when their Master can no longer channel Mana into them [[spoiler:such as when Lancelot kills Kariya by overdraining the latter's Mana]]. A lesser version of this are the Homunculus [[spoiler:such as Irisviel and her daughter Ilyasviel]] who are walking circuits of magic in the shape of human beings.

* ''ComicBook/GreenLantern'': Hal Jordan recreates his [[DoomedHometown destroyed hometown]] of Coast City using his [[GreenLanternRing power ring]].

[[folder: Western Animation]]

* ''Literature/TheScholomance'': "Mals" are the diverse supernatural monsters that form out of magic and [[MagicEater feed on wizards' mana]] (and on wizards themselves). They range from tiny but lethal pests to titanic {{Blob Monster}}s and are varied enough that wizards only bother to name a few of the common varieties. Though some reproduce through pseudo-natural means like laying eggs, others appear to manifest spontaneously.

* The entire {{Shinigami}}-world of ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'' is ''[[UpToEleven made]]'' from 'spirit particles', making those skills that rely on [[EnergyAbsorption absorbing]] said particles many times more powerful. There's some fairly nifty scenes where you can see nearby walls and buildings slowly dissolving as the particles are absorbed and redirected into an attack...
* Certain beings (phenomenons, individuals) in ''LightNovel/ACertainMagicalIndex'' are made of AIM-field. Most of the time they spontaneously come into existence. [[TabletopGame/MagicTheGathering You can't have so many Espers (and Mages) living so close together, all practicing so much crazy powers, and not expect some feedback.]]
