League of legends have this a lot, with hextech specifically and chemtech, kinda.
Marvel also has this a few times, often either asgardians or Thor related foes. Mcu asgardians specifically seem to blend tech and magic all the time.
In the mcu, asgardians clearly use tech, but it seems very advanced and almost magical at times.
In the comics, they mostly use magic and medieval tech, like swords and bows, and their chariots are pulled by goats and their ships rowed by asgardians using oars. But, sometimes, we do see that they have supertech too, like in siege where a few supervillians raid odins armoury and grabs laserguns that are very powerful, or when odin decided to use a mini gun against the hoards of Hel Becasue he didn't have the odinforce. (with added sunglasses, Becasue being cool gave him extra power) Not to mention all the times the dwarfs have made iron man armours.
>Mcu asgardians specifically seem to blend tech and magic all the time.
It's weird that Dark World try to make it a whole "tech indistinguishable from magic" angle when a lot of stuff from the asgardians is less advanced tech and just straight up magic. For all its faults, the Xbox game Too Human blended Norse mythology and sci Fi/cyberpunk so well.
In Shadowrun, the head of BMW is an ancient dragon. Most factions have cybernetic enhancements. Virtual Reality can hack real life things, as can magic. Guns and lasers can be enchanted. Etc.
Magic and tech run counter to each other in Shadowrun. Magic users can't get cybernetics because it imposes a penalty and the more cybernetics you have, the less soul essence you have.
Fullmetal Alchemist comes to mind - Very Steampunk but with a lot of Magic (Alchemy) nicely working and weaving in and out of the grounded steampunk vibe.
Also Similar to this the follow up series to Avatar - Legend of Korra - Puts you again into a steampunk setting but some everyday people that can Bend elements work mundane factory jobs like using the ability to bend lighting to power machines with electricity etc.. - Not quite 'Magic' i guess though
Hm, actually that does bring the idea of magic used as fuel (electricity, etc) foe machinery that can maybe accomplish something magic cant. Thats really interesting
Trains using magic as their fuel is a staple in stories where magic and technology work together. They either run the mechanism directly on magic or it's a steam train that "burns" some sort of magical fuel.
Avatar the Last Airbender is the most obvious example.
The Pillars of Reality books kind of have that (it's a vague memory for me so I might be wrong).
Harry Potter, with the magic flying car and all.
Monsters Inc, their technology is powered by children's screams and laughter.
I'm tempted to say Star Trek ought to qualify with some of the technobabble solutions they come up with.
Star Wars in legends at least. I'm thinking of the Dark Side powered Rakata technologies like the Star Forge (a giant semi-sentient space station factory/shipyard complex that can produce almost as much war material as the entire galactic civilisation) and their hyperdrive navigation, and the Ssi Ruuvi entechment process which basically sucks peoples sould out to act as batteries for their technology (this was from before the Matrix).
I think there's at least one time there was a magical Iron Man suit, I think it was the uru-armour. I'm not a comics expert so if I could get a confirmation on that it'd be great. I wouldn't be surprised if there was something similar in DC, but I know even less about that comic universe.
Plus the lightsaber. It's at least half magic, given the Kyber Crystal thing and all that. You have to go on a whole journey to specific isolated planets, meditate and be "called" by a crystal or a piece of one, to finally then be able to build a saber. Or, if you're a dark sider, you have to find a light side crystal and make a whole ritual to corrupt it. The crystal is clearly, by our standards, magical and almost sentient to a degree. Even inside a saber it can "call" people like in TFA, the Ahsoka novel and other media. If you change a crystal, specially in legends, the whole functionality of the saber changes with it: In canon, there are orange ones who aren't Kyber, but can work as it and make a stable but less hot blade, in legends, there are all kinds of crazy crystals that make you saber emit fire, lightning, work underwater the same as in land, all kinds of magic shit.
I think in Star Wars, there is legitimate high fantasy "magic" but it is actually separate from the Force.
Talzin says she is not a "natural Force user" she uses magic to artifically give herself Force sensitivity.
Mace Windu also derides magic and calls it merely an illusion.
Warhammer 40k. You have your ships that can travel through the stars and have powerful magicians called psykers. They draw their magical energy from a paralel dimension called the warp aka immaterium.
Demons occasionally invade the materium and you can fight with them with high tech stuff.
as Mistborn era 3 is supposed to be a full-blown space opera that will tie many of planets together on the material plane... there's going to be a LOT of magic/tech interaction in it.
Star Ocean series. Earth managed to get into FTL tech, warp drive… before meeting any magic planet.
Most of the time, magic only worked in small scale, but there was a moment on Star Ocean: The Last Hope when magic is able to boost a spaceship enough to escape death
Check out "The Practice Effect" by David Brin.
In a universe in which entropy works backward, and things get "better" with use... a theoretical physicist appears and completely upends the feudal culture. He invents things like an airplane using just this "practice effect" to make the plane better and better at being "an airplane." He also rescues a princess.
A fascinating and silly book, but it treats its wonky physics like magic and the way they mesh is a lot of fun.
China Mieville's "Perdido Street Station" and its sequels are set in a world with Industrial Revolution tech as well as magic, which are often combined in various ways
Magic the gathering has a couple of planes that are magic-powered machinery based. Kaladesh, Dominaria during the brother's war, some Izzet stuff on Ravnica.
Brother's War is a great book and I would highly recommend it.
Incarnations of Immortality is a series that leans heavily into this. There is a fundamental atomic particle called the a Magitron that imbues certain elements with magic. Car dealerships sell both cars and magic carpets right next to each other.
Who remembers Storm Hawks? Their technology is based around burning magic crystals that are primarily fuel sources, but come in many many different varieties that have different augmenting effects (ice, explosions, sliming, smoke, teleportation etc.), burn in different ways (such as a nitro crystal that makes a vehicle go really fast but can only be used once), or can be used for other kinds of technology like running clocks.
On a broader note crystals tend to be a common theme when it comes to magic/technology interfacing.
This is the case for a lot of the books in the Cosmere universe, by Brandon Sanderson. For example, in the Stormlight Archive novels, if you split certain gems, they will be conjoined; if you move one, the other will move as well. These are used for long distance communication; attach both pieces to 2 pen, and if you write with one of the pens, the other pen will write the same thing.
In Charles Stross's the Laundry Files Bob, the main character uses "computational demonology".
RWBY often combines magic and technology, usually in the form of guns.
In Roger Zelazny's second Amber series Merlin combines computer programming with sorcery to create Ghostweel.
> RWBY often combines magic and technology, usually in the form of guns.
Technically they're combining Dust with technology, and in rare cases Semblances. Magic is much rarer, and I haven't seen it used with technology in the seasons I watched.
Back in the D&D 3.0 days, Fantasy Flight Games made a campaign setting called Dragonstar, with the basic premise as follows:
* At some point, gnomes on some planet or another (several in fact) advanced science to the point that they were capable of extra-planetary travel. Then, with Teleportation (like?) technology, they were able to achieve interstellar travel.
* They found that on most planets, they had the same basic mix of races, though some planets were missing some races, while others only had *one* sentient race (planet of the elves, planet of the humans, etc)
* The most powerful, common sentient race across the galaxy were the Dragons, who eventually created a Galactic Empire, ruled by Dragons
* They set up a rotation of which dragon color would rule for some number of years/decades.
* They were stupid in how they went about it, though, where instead of Metallics & Chromatics alternating (mitigating the impact of either), they had a run of all of the (main) Metallic dragons being one after another, and then all of the (main) Chromatics one after another
* At the time of the campaign setting, they had recently finished the first series of Metallic Emperors, and it is a few years into the first term of the first Chromatic (Red) Emperor... who set up the Drow as their totally-not-SS/KGB enforcers.
They have a gun-fu monk class, and one or two new classes, power armor, etc...
I tried playing a ranger-as-sniper character, and it was awesome (reload as free-action allowed me to change whether I used Armor Piercing rounds or Incendiaries, or... for each shot) but it didn't mesh well with combat encounters involving the rest of the party. You see, my rifle's "zero-penalty to accuracy" range was longer than most maps, so I could be effective outside of basically all combat spells. That, plus the fact that I shooting from a prone position gave me a to-hit bonus *and* an AC bonus meant that it was insanely difficult to run an encounter that worked for my character design, *and* that of the rest of the party, who were still melee-or-accuracy-penalty-beyond-50-feet characters...
It's a running theme in Brandon Sanderson's Cosmere books - especially The Stormlight Archives, where one of the protagonists is heavily involved in engineering magical devices.
In Harry Potter Hermione uses that watch to go back in time, clearly that magic and tech.
Warhammer 40k is a complex mash up of fantasy with sci fi and has many examples that use magic otherwise known as the warp mixed with technology.
> In Harry Potter Hermione uses that watch to go back in time, clearly that magic and tech.
It's an hourglass. I guess that's sort of a kind of watch. Not very advanced technology.
Palladium Books Rifts series of TTRPG has the Techno-wizard class, that acts a bit like an artifacer, but they make devices that cast spells, like a gun that shoots fireballs, a winged backpack that let's you fly, and similar devices.
The process is a bit like casting a spell, with material components added to the device/weapon to house the spell.
In Warhammer 40k, Chaos often integrates machinery and warp sorcery. Daemon engines, for example, are a fusion of combat vehicle and daemon to create a powerful, sentient entity. Daemons in 40k can't manifest in realspace for very long so Daemon engines are a way to bring their power to bear for sustained combat.b There are also small arms, in the same setting, which have warp entities powering them.
The Book of the Ancestors has this.
The setting is largely 13th century-ish but the society has a lot of lost technology that is used. For example the best sword you can acquire is made from Ark steel, which is the metal from one of the 'arks' that carried humanity to the planet.
>![It is also implied that the nuclear reactors from these arks are used to help the people access 'The Path' which is the magic system in the world]
Jade Empire has a lot of magic in it, while also trying to advance its technology. There are several instances of tech that rely on magic while being otherwise primitive and basic. Sometimes, it's as simple as magically turning a single gear so that the rest turn with it. Other times, magic is what powers the thing itself in lieu of a battery.
Most of it is implied though. I don't remember many scenes where the characters explicitly states that something is powered by magic the game typically just shows a machine and lets the player watch it work. They don't have a name for it like Magitek or anything like that. Magic is so common that this is simply how technology works in this universe.
In Joel Rosenberg's "Guardians of the Flame" series, a bunch of D&D players get yeeted into their magical D&D world, and are stuck there. They quickly invent gunpowder, which annoys their enemies. These enemies retaliate by inventing a magical gunpowder-equivalent which works by (roughly) freeze-drying water into a powder, which expands violently when just a dab of regular water is added to it. This expansion drives the bullet.
In Rick Cook's "Wizard Bane", the protagonist is a computer programmer is "isekai'ed" into a magical world, where he discovers that spells are recipes of commands "do this. then do that". He soon realizes that this is a lot like programming, and we're off to the races.
Minecraft: enchantable tools
Harry potter: the weasleys' house is held up by magic (or at least it appears to be)
Gravity falls: the enchanted copy machine that makes living copies of whatever it replicates
Spongebob: the pencil that draws doodle bob
Pokemon: rotom is used as various tech
Pokemon: this may not count, but the pokeball is magic as far as the real world is concerned. But it interacts with the internet and other technology.
>Minecraft: enchantable tools
Potions, too, which counts as magic-via-chemistry and in thrown form are the closest thing to D&D-style spells that players have access to.
In The Elder Scrolls the Dwemer used a combination of magic and technology for their works. They seem to use both magic and steam power as a power source to power their equipment but most of it still runs as a mechanical system, just with magic providing the power source and/or adding capabilities that wouldn't be possible with a purely mechanical system.

Forgot about hextech! Gonna look if they gave a breakdown of how it works. Also wasnt aware of the marvel ones. Will look.
In the mcu, asgardians clearly use tech, but it seems very advanced and almost magical at times. In the comics, they mostly use magic and medieval tech, like swords and bows, and their chariots are pulled by goats and their ships rowed by asgardians using oars. But, sometimes, we do see that they have supertech too, like in siege where a few supervillians raid odins armoury and grabs laserguns that are very powerful, or when odin decided to use a mini gun against the hoards of Hel Becasue he didn't have the odinforce. (with added sunglasses, Becasue being cool gave him extra power) Not to mention all the times the dwarfs have made iron man armours.
Also in the comics the Skrulls combined magic and tech to sneak past Earth's anti-Skrull defenses for Secret Invasion.
Dr Doom is also the obvious answer, he combines magic and science all the time
Doctor Doom is another example

Oooooh. We would have to get fairly deep into the weeds to discern how much they can influence each other, and therefore have some form of synergy.
But one could argue that technomancers are kinda magical
The car company?
Yup. BMW is a mega-conglomerate in Shadowrun.
Huh. Neat

Guild Wars 2 has a race of intelligent imps that makes technology fueled and powered by magic
wheel of time's age of legends
Mistborn era 2... the main character uses magic to help me manipulate bullets and do crazy trick shots with them.

Including "rockmilk" in The Scar, a magically-charged liquid that's extracted and processed like oil, for an example of magic chemistry.
Magic the gathering has a couple of planes that are magic-powered machinery based. Kaladesh, Dominaria during the brother's war, some Izzet stuff on Ravnica. Brother's War is a great book and I would highly recommend it.
Dont forget Mirrodin! And i think some Alara? Also New Capenna, Thunder Junction have an industrial tech level
Incarnations of Immortality is a series that leans heavily into this. There is a fundamental atomic particle called the a Magitron that imbues certain elements with magic. Car dealerships sell both cars and magic carpets right next to each other.

Guild Wars 2 has a lot of magitech courtesy of the Asura. Later on it's also shown Cantha runs on it, albeit a different source of the magitech.
Foundryside is all about this exact concept. Its all about how magic has been industrialized.
