However, even magic itself isn't a required element, as novels such as Ellen Kushner's ''Literature/{{Swordspoint}}'', K.J. Parker's ''Devices & Desires'' or Ricardo Pinto's ''Literature/TheStoneDanceOfTheChameleon'' which feature no magic whatsoever but take place in an alternate, pseudo-historical world, are still classified as fantasy. This is due in part to their widespread use of other tropes associated with fantasy, particularly LowFantasy. (''Swordspoint'' is an interesting case, because while it contains no supernatural elements in itself, one of its sequels, ''The Fall of the Kings'', is largely concerned with TheMagicComesBack.)
