* In ''WesternAnimation/TheFlightOfDragons'', the central premise is a sort of ElementalRockPaperScissors in which magical creatures can't exist in a world where science dominates, and civilizations based on science are destroyed by fear and superstition. [[spoiler:The hero kills a dragon by ''scientifically proving it can't exist''.]]

See MagicVersusScience for reasons for conflict between the two systems. May occur because magic [[ClapYourHandsIfYouBelieve draws its power]] from [[ReligionIsMagic "belief"]], and belief [[PuffOfLogic is antithetical to knowledge]] [[note]]Which would mean magic is based on a lie... We won't go into the philosophical details, but - nope[[/note]].

* Played with a bit in ''Creator/TerryBrooks''' ''Literature/{{Shannara}}'' series. In the back-story this trope was played very straight, with the rise of science and industry virtually eliminating magic and most fantasy races. However, after humanity [[EndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt nuked itself]] [[AfterTheEnd back to the stone age]], magic rose to much greater prominence again.

* In ''LightNovel/ACertainMagicalIndex'', the power of magic and the various churches built around them have largely declined, leading to a balance of power that is roughly even between that of the Science and Magic sides. While science continues to grow, magic largely stays the same. Quite interesting when one considers magic came into existence as an attempt to replicate rare but naturally-occuring PsychicPowers in ordinary people, an alternative everyone could use. The balance started unraveling when science discovered how to create espers through artificial means (the Power Development Program shown in the series).
