Punisher; The Masquerade Motivator



The Masquerade Enforcer would be a good way to resolve the MasqueradeParadox, however, the author must still address why anyone bothers to use magic at all when it's so much safer not to. In some cases, the wizards ''don't'' bother, retreating to a MagicalLand and leading to stories where TheMagicGoesAway and the characters have to deal with it. compare AncientOrderOfProtectors.

* The ''[[https://www.amazon.com/gp/bookseries/B01J4DS4VK Freelance Familiar]]'' series by Daniel Potter has The Veil, a force put in place by The Fey that prevents normal people from seeing the supernatural. It eventually becomes a major plot point. If the supernatural gets too obvious in an area, then The Veil will destroy that place and pass it off as a volcanic eruption, or an accidental nuclear explosion, or some other disaster.

* In ''Literature/RealMermaids'', the Mermish Council decides which mers will be allowed to go on land and live as humans, and sometimes it's for masquerade-enforcing reasons. For example, Michaela washed up on a beach during a hurricane, and by the time she got back to the ocean, she'd breathed so much air that her ability to breathe water was impaired. The Mermish Council decided that the risk of her being washed up again and spotted by humans was too great, so they ordered her to transform into a human.

* TabletopGame/InDarkAlleys has the [[PowersThatBe Powers-From-Beyond]]. They are the non-human entities that are responsible for the current shape of this reality, and one of their primary objectives is to prevent humans from discovering the existence of the supernatural. They act primarily through various agents, including various MeninBlack and [[AngelicAbomination Angels]]. The game explicitly mentions that they are not omniscient, nor omnipotent, nor omnipresent, and their servants do sometimes rebel.
