* In ''VideoGame/GodOfWarRagnarok'', one of the optional conversations reveals that this happened to Kratos on a personal level. While he still has the strength of a god, he can no longer use the magic he wielded in the Greek-era games. Atreus guesses that it's because Kratos' magic was tied to Greece. The destruction wrought upon Greece by the end of III took Kratos' magic with it.

* In ''Literature/TheAnnalsOfTheChosen'' it's revealed late in the trilogy that the land's magic is growing progressively weaker as the anti-magic feathers purchased from traders are gradually suppressing the ler. Considering the callousness of the ler and the idiocy of the wizards, Sword concludes this is probably for the best.
* At some point in the past of ''Literature/TheAnubisGates'', a massive event shattered the power of magic. Over the years, it has steadily weakened, so that by the 1800s even the simplest spells are nearly impossible and unreliable. By the modern day, magic no longer exists, save for a handful of time portals that quickly vanish. The titular gates are the villains' attempts to bring the magic back.

* In ''Literature/TheCyberstrikeBaptism'', one of the protagonists ends up on a colony during the local Festival of Love. The key part involves a man performing a ritual that will summon the goddess of love, who helps soulmates find each other. The man is looking for his wife and sees this as his best chance. Unfortunately, he is told that this festival is likely the last one, as there are rules as to who can perform the ritual. It has to be done for six generations and passed down from father to son before the goddess will appear, and the current guy is very old and childless. While it is possible to resume the ritual after six generations, no one plans to wait that long.

* Nicholson Baker's ''Literature/TheFermata'' is about a guy who has the ability to stop time. As one would expect, he mostly uses it to undress women and then re-clothe them before starting time again, with no one the wiser. Eventually he falls in love with one of his victims and somehow passes his magic on to her. He does mention elsewhere in the book that he has gone through periods where his powers were absent, and he seems to expect them to return at some point; but for now, he's at his girlfriend's mercy.

Magic has also been gradually decreasing in power for some time. Bayaz, First of the Magi (the third generation of wizards), complains at one point that over the centuries he has learned more and more about magic but been able to do less and less with that knowledge.

* In ''Anime/LittleWitchAcademia'', magic used to be abundant but has since become rarer and more difficult to practice. By the present day, using any magic at all requires a Philosopher's Stone, a sort of magical battery that can either be carried around in a wand with limited charge, or larger ones that allows functionally unlimited magic use in a large area around it. This turns out to be because magic is powered by belief, but because witch culture is highly isolated and elitist, with the bar of entry for people without magical heritage so high that it is functionally impossible to start their studies, it has created a feedback loop where regular people don't believe in magic because they never see it, and those who can practice magic refuses to show it to regular people.

* In ''VisualNovel/BladesOfLightAndShadow'', Book 2, it is mentioned in the last lore tablet that the Light and Shadow Realms used to be one, but the Old Gods split them and erected a barrier between the realms, which caused magic to weaken over time. In one of the MultipleEndings, Raine can finish repairing the barrier, which will permanently separate the realms at the cost of magic fading away.

Of course, with all magic gone, all beings whose very existence were tied to magic must go away, too. Either they vanish into nothingness, or travel to [[AnotherDimension a better realm]]. Those that use the former may be more of a DownerEnding, as everything magical that the heroes worked hard for is now gone, while those that use the latter are more of a BittersweetEnding, as even though they're gone, they're in a better place.

This trope is distinguished from HereThereWereDragons in that the work is about the events which result in (or at least happen around the time of) the magic going away. In HereThereWereDragons, the magic already went away long ago, and the story isn't about that disappearance. May overlap with EndOfAnAge in that both involve the loss of wonder, but differs in that it is specifically about magic and magic settings. Can also overlap with DeathOfTheOldGods, although that does not necessarily mean magic goes away entirely so much as it becomes less obvious to and involved with the lives of humans; or {{Gotterdammerung}}, although that usually implies a more sudden, cataclysmic loss of the gods and magic than this trope. Often an example of GrowingUpSucks, but on a more universe-wide level. See TheMagicComesBack and PowerNullifier if this is a temporary status and it actually returns. Compare to TwilightOfTheSupers, a modern equivalent in which {{Superhero}}s disappear from a setting. Contrast TechnologyErasureEvent, where science or processes powering higher technology vanish.

Post one narrowly averted apocalypse from the prehistoric BigBad? First Civilization was utterly destroyed and the modern magic users could be counted on one hand. Which leads to the FridgeHorror that the BigBad has the same plans for Equestria.
* Zigzagged in ''Fanfic/TheEchoRanger''. Magic is still around on Earth, but it's much weaker than it used to be. The Morphin' Grid went away and with it the Rangers' powers and any Grid based tech stopped working. Now the Grid is starting to come back, but is still only at a tiny fraction of its full power. So the new Rangers are weaker and more limited than their predecessors.

According to Draco Malfoy, most potion ingredients no longer work, wands only have a given amount of magic before they run out, and gaian magic by default slowly erodes earth magic. Earth wizards have taken to disenchanting any still functioning magical items that can be found so they can use the remaining magic to power their wards to keep out gaian magic.

Worse, without magic, Eternia as a planet will die, and because Eternia was the first planet to come into existence, the universe hinges on its survival and will also be destroyed if the planet is destroyed as well.

* ''Fanfic/PastSins'': ''Glimpses 2'': "Legacy": A story about "What if Nyx was the only [alicorn] left?", and it involves magic going away:
--> The magic was slipping out of Equestria. She knew what this felt like. It was slower. It was happening over the span of weeks instead of days, but this felt all too familiar to what Cozy Glow had once attempted.

* Zigzagged ''Fanfic/TheEchoRanger''. Magic is still around on Earth, but it's much weaker than it used to be. The Morphin' Grid went away and with it the Rangers' powers and any Grid based tech stopped working. Now the Grid is starting to come back, but is still only at a tiny fraction of its full power. So the new Rangers are weaker and more limited than their predecessors.

* The Christian doctrine called "Cessationism" holds that the wonders and miracles of the early church (prophecy, healing, speaking in tongues or foreign languages, etc.) have largely or entirely ceased in the present day. Exactly when and why this is the case varies, as there are various "schools" of Cessationism.

* Similarly, the pagans blamed the apparent weakening and gradual disappearance of their own powers on Christians, whom they accused of impeity, and who were thought to cloud the sight of oracles and hinder the gods' recognition of sacrifices.

* According to some Christian scholars, the reason God doesn't do miracles anymore is that Christ's resurrection was The Big One, making all the others pale so much in comparison they're no longer necessary. This is known as "cessationism".

* ''Literature/ThatHideousStrength'': Ransom explains that in Arthurian times it was still permissible for Christians to perform magic, but that opening your soul to channel spiritual powers in such a fashion is now wholly unlawful. This is why the Company needs Merlin: the planetary angels can only act through an initiated magician (at least without blowing up the Earth through the sheer force of their powers), and Merlin is the only remaining Christian who was initiated as a magician.

* ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTimeFionnaAndCake'': This occurred in-universe with [[spoiler:Fionna and Cake's universe. Prismo stored their universe inside Ice King's head, so when Ice King was permanently reverted back to a normal human, all the magic of the universe in his head also disappeared in a CosmicRetcon]]. What's more, even the knowledge that magic ever actually existed disappeared too; only in the characters' dreams do they have visions of their past selves.
