In Dreamfall: The Longest Journey, the Azadi Empire is of that variety with an added flavor of religious fervor, what with repressing and committing genocide against 'magicals'. They put up a lot of various Steam Punk-esque machinery everywhere instead, the purpose of which is only revealed in the sequel. Despite their vehement persecution of magic, their Prophet seems to employ it and command magical creatures, and there are indications that they employ magic-by-any-other-name thaumaturgy, and that some of the things they use are relying on magic as well as technology. | |

Dragon Age: The Qunari. They use technology instead of magic and kill or silence any mages they come across (by removing their tongues). The Qun, their religion, has no place for mages, and the Qunari's ultimate goal is conversion of all races to the Qun and therefore removal of all mages. This places them in contrast to the human religious institution, the Chantry, which teaches that magic was made to serve man. The Chantry permit mages and even use them against the Qunari (in fact, it is the reason why the Qunari haven't overrun most of the world yet), although they don't really trust them and practically monopolize the training of mages; non-Chantry trained mages are called apostates and are hunted down by the Templars. Not that the Qunari are above using the mages as living weapons, either, with each saarebas (dangerous thing) being handled by another Qunari as their keeper. Any saarebas that goes unsupervised is automatically assumed to be possessed by a demon, so the Qunari come across as fearing mages even more than the humans though, it's more like their philosophy doesn't allow them to act any other way. Indeed, their dislike of saarebas seems to be rooted in the Qunari philosophy basing itself around achieving total control of one's self. Mages on the other hand, have access to incredible power, yet require no discipline to use it. Such abilities are open to abuse and given that Demons seek to possess Mages to do just that, the Qunari do not believe anyone can safely wield it. There's also the original Inquisition, an ancient group of mage-hunters that was absorbed by the Chantry and turned into the Templars. The new Inquisition in the third game can be guided into either supporting or opposing mages depending on your decisions. However, the new Inquisitor can learn that the last Inquisitor of the original Inquisition, and close friend of the founder of the Chantry, was in fact a mage, suggesting that that the rigid boundaries mages are currently subject to was not part of the original plan. |

Thoria from The Dragon Doctors was founded by a faction of human purists following a war in which magic was used to transform people into "beast-men". Mori has no last name because her parents gave her the magic equivalent of gene therapy to save her life and the Thorian government "erased" them and banished her. However, when Mori discovered the Fountain of Youth and reverse engineered it 70 years ago Thoria began to repeal many of their racist and anti-magic laws so they could have rejuvenation. | |

The Federation Seekers from The Heritage of Shannara are a hypocritical example. They viciously hunt down all practitioners of magic but are secretly controlled by the vampiric sorcerers known as the Shadowen. Their magic-hunting serves the triple purpose of removing rivals, getting "food" for the Shadowen (who feed off magic) and recruiting (since Shadowen are The Virus). However, as far as most people are aware, the Seekers just persecute magic because it's illegal in the Federation. | |

Galbatorix in Inheritance has the ultimate goal of restricting all magic use, though he doesn't wish to wipe it out entirely. He claims that magic is the great unfairness in the world, as someone either can or cannot use it; there is no learning to use magic. | |

The Saypuri from The Divine Cities are an unusually sympathetic (though still morally gray) example, thanks to spending eight centuries colonized and brutally enslaved by an empire with some very active gods on their side. Said pantheon spread miracles around like water, giving their followers Divine weapons, spells, super-soldiers, cities, and even a different climate. Then one of the Saypuri figured out how to kill a god, breaking everything they created. The Saypuri proceeded to wipe out the pantheon, invade the devastated empire, confiscate or destroy anything connected to the Divine (including various demigods), and banned even mentioning the dead gods by name. The series proper starts 75 years after the last god died, and they're only starting to lose their paranoia about anything Divine. | |

Cross Ange actually has both an inverse and good guy version of this trope. For the inverse, about all of the world persecute against Norma, who are either shot or exiled to an inland Penal Colony known as Arzenal. It turns out the Norma not only can not use magic but canceled it directly. This was not a foreseen outcome by the world's creator, who wants a world without war or conflict (or so he says), and found it best to have said Norma removed as the rest of the people got arrogantly complacent and treated Norma as evil monsters. Then, said Norma are the good guys' version of the trope. Not only are they fighting against Mana users for their racism, but they're getting their power by reaping the DRAGONs they kill for a living as livestock, fueling a machine that holds their leader captive. And they succeed in the end, taking away the Mana users' magic and leaving them in a world of violence and turmoil. |

Tweeny Witches: The military dictatorship of the warlocks excludes magic from Wizard Kingdom out of a belief in the superiority of technology over it, which is likely why those who marry into the warlocks can no longer use magic. Consequently, they oppress the wizards as the remnants of the old magical order, forcing them to live in Miche Village since the establishment of Wizard Kingdom and having turned them into a Dying Race in the present. Even discussing anything magical in Wizard Kingdom arouses the suspicion not only of the civilians but also of the warlock police, as shown when Arusu loudly asks Sigma about magic and the fairies captured by the military. | |

In Webwork, Captain Black's superiors eventually decide to wean out Section 13's reliance on civilian "contractors" (namely, Jackie and company) by creating a new agency called Section 0 designed specifically to deal with magical threats. However, this group currently consists of three agents working out of a repurposed closet space in Section 13's base, so for the time being, they're mostly reliant on the J-Team for help. | |

The Shannara Chronicles: The second season gives us the Crimson, an elven group that wants to wipe out all magic and magic users. While they have a point that the ancient druids have a disturbing tendency to turn evil and start summoning demons, they blame all magic users. The last good druid is seen as no different from the Warlock Lord, and people with minor talents are crucified as a warning to others. The common people support the Crimson to a disturbing degree, and their numbers grow daily. When the Warlock Lord returns, he kills most of them, including their leader, with only the slightest amount of effort. The kingdom of Leigh offers clemency to the survivors if they help fight the Warlock Lord, which most of them accept. | |

Discworld: The Baron in The Wee Free Men has ordered witches on the Chalk burnt since he (wrongly) believes a witch took his son. Also a theme in I Shall Wear Midnight, with Tiffany dealing with the spirit of an overzealous witch hunter who has become some sort of Anthropomorphic Personification of the hate and mistrust people have for witches and other outsiders. The Star People from The Light Fantastic are this, although they're also pretty much anti-everything that's human. Of course, since the star they worship is literally sucking the magic away, it makes sense. Arguably the wizards themselves in Discworld are the anti-magic faction; their role is not to use magic, but to regulate magic and ensure it is not used very much, because the last time magic was used a lot, the world was almost destroyed. |

In With Strings Attached, the law in Ketafa is that magic is forbidden; those accused are, at the very least, publicly flogged. Not that it stops a lively magical underground, the Hiddenwizards. (We never see them, but Lyndess mentions them a few times, as do Terdan and Remlar.) And the “Favorites of the Gods”—Baravadans—are exempt from this law. | |

In the Dreamblood Duology, the nation of Kisua profoundly distrusts its neighbour city-state Gujaareh's use of dream magic, forbids it on pain of death, and exiles any Kisuati who receives magical healing in Gujaareh. Although this deprives them of the miraculous life-saving Psychic Surgery that narcomancy can provide, it is implied to have its roots in Gujaareh's historic war of independence, where it was discovered that a narcomancer gone Drunk on the Dark Side can become a Soul Eating Person of Mass Destruction. | |

A Certain Magical Index has Necessarius, who wants to get rid of all magic, due to their beliefs. They were created by the Anglican Church to rid the world of magic. However, their answer to this is to make a girl with a photographic memory memorize over 100,000 tomes on magic, and have all of their members become magicians. Their reasoning is that it takes magic to beat magic; Necessarius is also known as The Church of Necessary Evil. The creator of the science side of the series' Magic Versus Science battle is also an evil mage who hates magic due to it causing his daughter's death. |

Used interestingly in Total Annihilation: Kingdoms. The world was broken in the past by a civilization of Precursors, the Kandrans, whose use of magic resulted in their own annihilation. For thousands of years magic was banned until a mage emperor, Garacaius, arose to unite the world. He vanished after the death of his wife, leaving his empire to his four children—two of them keep the magic ban and only use it sparingly for military purposes, while the other two use it freely. In the expansion pack, a fifth Steampunk faction, Creon, invades with a more fundamentalist anti-magic policy; it turns out that they were founded by Garacaius after he fled into exile. | |

Dungeons & Dragons: Can be found in on occasion, though it's more usually a faction enforcing a "nobody in this town/country is allowed to use magic but us" rule. That said, you do get factions like the (now technically former) Cult of Entropy-based in the city of Lutcheq in the Forgotten Realms who consider all use of arcane magic an abomination punishable by death, or the Principalities of Glantri on Mystara, an actual magocracy where the use of clerical magic is punished with similar harshness on principle. The Inspired in Eberron crack down viciously on wielders of arcane magic. However, this is only true of arcane magic; priests in their service are allowed to use divine magic (since they get it by having true faith in the divinity of the Inspired), and the Inspired themselves use psionic magic (though they persecute anyone else use uses psionics). Their hatred for arcane magic mostly boils down to it being a force they can't use themselves and have only a limited understanding of — it's not something they risk keeping around. Similarly, the Druids of the Ashbound sect vehemently persecute arcane spellcasters, whilst themselves happily using their own druidic spells, because they believe arcane magic damages nature. The problem is, the setting runs on magitek in the form of industrialized arcane spellcasting. Generally speaking (it does show up in other locations as well), D&D anti-magical factions tends to go for being against specific kinds of magic — the Cult of Entropy is anti-arcane magic, but have absolutely nothing against clerical magic (psionics is rare enough in the Realms that the issue hasn't really come up), Glantri, as mentioned, is fond of arcane magic but opposed to clerical magic, the Inspired persecute arcanists but see divine magic received from worshipping the Inspired as a good thing, and so on. This tends to limit the hypocrisy issue (they aren't using the kind of magic their public ideology says is bad) while allowing a measure of balance and an explanation for why they aren't out-competed by the powerful magic of other factions (because they do have magic on their side, just not that specific kind of magic). |

The Doc runs afoul of these from time to time, though in the Marvel Universe they tend to be lone fanatics who've amassed a following. In World War Hulk his primary accuser was a wild-eyed woman who claimed he "dances with the Devil" (not true; they're just acquaintances) and had nearly killed civilians (which was true). | |

In The Traitor Son Cycle, the clergy under the command of the Patriarch of Rhum is convinced that to do magic is to make a pact with the devil, and when they get their hands on Alba, they excommunicate the local order of Magic Knights and try to have the "witch" Queen burned at stake. The kicker being, of course, that the Patriarch of Rhum and his lackey, the archbishop of Alba, are (independently) making deals with two of this world's most Satan-like figures. | |

Can be found in on occasion, though it's more usually a faction enforcing a "nobody in this town/country is allowed to use magic but us" rule. That said, you do get factions like the (now technically former) Cult of Entropy-based in the city of Lutcheq in the Forgotten Realms who consider all use of arcane magic an abomination punishable by death, or the Principalities of Glantri on Mystara, an actual magocracy where the use of clerical magic is punished with similar harshness on principle. | |

Abrahamic religions are very big into this, even unto modern ages. The stated reason being that any supernatural powers not granted by God must have come from demons, and therefore are evil by default. Historically, said religions have always had rivalries with religions that were synonymous with magic, such as Pharaonic polytheism in Ancient Egypt or Zoroastrianism in Ancient Iran — the Zoroastrian priests were the origin of the word 'mage'. Which isn't to say that it's an exclusively monotheist thing—before Christianity became the state religion of the Roman Empire, magicians perceived as dangerous (particularly those making poisons and love potions, regardless of if they worked) were already persecuted by the government, and they were even thrown to the lions just like early Christians were. It was only later that more kinds of magic, and eventually all magic (the last to go was divination) was completely forbidden. |

For the inverse, about all of the world persecute against Norma, who are either shot or exiled to an inland Penal Colony known as Arzenal. It turns out the Norma not only can not use magic but canceled it directly. This was not a foreseen outcome by the world's creator, who wants a world without war or conflict (or so he says), and found it best to have said Norma removed as the rest of the people got arrogantly complacent and treated Norma as evil monsters. | |

One exists in the Whipper Kingdom in Trash of the Count's Family. Before the civil war, The Whipper Kingdom was a Magocracy that heavily discriminated against people who couldn't use magic. After the magic ruling class is kicked out, the kingdom itself is the Antimagical Faction. Their leader is one of many who can't use magic but also isn't affected by magic. | |

The Wheel of Time: The Whitecloak Knight Templar organization, and therefore the country of which they're de facto rulers, execute anyone they find who can channel the One Power. Their rationalization is that since channelers caused the World Sundering end of the Age of Legends 3000 years ago, they're all evil. The Aes Sedai Magical Society quite firmly disagrees. The Seanchan Empire is a variant, believing channelers to be dangerous sub-humans who need to be enslaved with Restraining Bolt collars and their powers harnessed by the Empire. They don't react well to learning that the only people who can control the collars are those with latent channeling abilities. The country of Tear is an odd variation: channeling is illegal, but channelers aren't actively hunted so long as they keep it to themselves, and the Tairens actually send more daughters to the White Tower Wizarding School than anyone, if only because it's the handiest way to quietly get rid of a channeling relative. |

The Overseers of the Abbey of the Everyman from Dishonored are a Church Militant not devoted to a deity, but rather formed to (as they see it) protect humanity against the Outsider, the only source of actual magic in the world and in their eyes a vile and demonic entity, but in truth a mostly neutral being who empowers mortals out of curiosity. They have developed Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane music boxes that disrupt an individual's ability to use magic, and are known to treat even suspected witches with absolute ruthlessness. | |

Implied with Lord Farquaad in Shrek. Farquaad banishes all magical creatures from his kingdom, apparently finding them to be disgusting all for the sake of making his kingdom perfect. However, his possible anti-magic beliefs were never looked into or discussed, so it's a little unclear. A bit of hypocrisy to that is that he keeps the Magic Mirror with him. | |

Heroes of Might and Magic: While the five other factions in Heroes of Might and Magic IV are heavily inspired by Magic: The Gathering and use corresponding styles of magic, the Might faction are True Neutral, in the center of the magic wheel. Instead of magic, they prefer brute force combined with the magic resistance skill. Orks in Heroes Of Might And Magic V are similar, using magic dampening and war cries. The Krewlod branch of the Barbarian/Stronghold faction had a bias against magical things, though it wasn't very strong (their king arranges for a powerful artifact to be destroyed as a test of someone having left magic behind forever, but they also have respected Battle Mages), or reflected in the game mechanics. |

In The Elder Scrolls series' backstory, the Alessian Order was a rabidly anti-Elven religious sect which established a Theocracy that wielded nearly as much power as the Emperor at its height. The Order was hostile to "unsanctioned" magic users and actively hunted them down in the Burn the Witch! fashion. However, the Order itself has no qualms about using magic, up to and including the type of reality warping divine magic they used in an attempt to purge the Elven aspects from the Eight Divines themselves. Doing so caused what is known as the "Middle Dawn", the first and longest Dragon Break on record, with a heaping dose of Reality-Breaking Paradox and Reality Is Out to Lunch. The Order would eventually be overthrown and destroyed during the War of Righteousness, but their influences on Imperial religion and law can still be felt in the Empires that have followed. | |

Doctor Strange: The Doc runs afoul of these from time to time, though in the Marvel Universe they tend to be lone fanatics who've amassed a following. In World War Hulk his primary accuser was a wild-eyed woman who claimed he "dances with the Devil" (not true; they're just acquaintances) and had nearly killed civilians (which was true). The 2015 series has the Empirikul, an alien inquisition who view magic as a "corruption" and have some way of counteracting it. They've already killed several of Strange's counterparts in other dimensions, and are coming for him next. |

The Ziguranth from Tales of Maj'Eyal are opposed to arcane magic. Specifically, this means magic that relies on mana, Vim, Paradox, Positive or Negative energy. They themselves use Anti-Magic drawn from nature, and freely recruit psionics and the Afflicted. They're extremely ruthless and merciless about hunting down and murdering mages, mage sympathizers, and anyone who might even look like a mage, but with magic still uncommon in the Age of Ascendancy, they're one of the only functional checks against Evil Sorcerers in all of Maj'Eyal. | |

The Technocracy of the Old World of Darkness are an interesting case as they consider themselves a Classic example, but are in fact a Hypocritical example who (for the most part) don't realize they are doing magic. Other antagonist factions are more more straightforwardly anti-magic, such as hunters (who see anything weird and immediately feel compelled to smite it) and banishers (who are essentially insane even by mage standards and strike out at consensus violators instinctively, often because alterations to reality cause them physical or mental pain or because their brain is re-written to run on hate even in lucid moments to make planning murders easier). |

In Children of the Black Sun, the whole nation of Ricalan (where the trilogy is set) is generally against all kinds of magic, believing it to be inherently evil. People with minor abilities are tolerated if they wear a magic suppressor, and very limited magic is tolerated for the purpose of detecting such people and constructing the suppressors, but that's it. However, Ricalan is currently being invaded by a country which routinely uses magic in war, causing the Ricalani monarch to hypocritically ally with an Evil Sorcerer to counter that advantage. The protagonist, who is potentially even more powerful, later provides a non-evil alternative once people have reconsidered their hostility enough to trust her. | |

In the Deryni works, the coalition of human spiritual and temporal lords who became regents for King Alroy Haldane installed one of their own as Primate of Gwynedd (at sword's point), passed the Laws of Ramos, and started persecutions of Deryni that lasted for over two centuries. This was a complete effort, with civil liabilities, harsh punishments, and a book of anti-Deryni propaganda authored by a cleric and promulgated throughout the kingdom. | |

In The Dark Eye, the church of Praios, the highest of the Twelve Gods, is opposed to magic at varying decrees. While white mages are teeth-gnashingly accepted, the policy towards other magic users ranges from demands for tight restrictions to witch-burnings by the inquisition. Being archetype Knight Templars in many settings does not help. | |

Pathfinder: Worldscape: the Holy Therns are priests of the Martian goddess Issus and employed in the Worldscape as servants to Empress Camilla, who allows them to persecute anyone who practices magic, believing it to be a blasphemy against their goddess' divine power (ironically, Issus was just a mad crone with no powers worshiped as a goddess). Kyra nearly gets arrested and sentenced to the arena for using her power as a Cleric of Sarenrae to heal someone. With that said, Camilla employs an Evil Sorcerer as her chancellor and he is presumably left off-limits from their zealotry. Ironically, said chancellor is revealed to be The Starscream who actually succeeds in backstabbing Camilla, with the Therns being unable to protect her from him. | |

Warhammer 40,000: The Imperium is an example that varies Depending on the Writer. In some novels Psykers are hated everywhere with Psykers trained and sanctioned by the Imperium barely tolerated with all non-Imperial Psykers killed on sight as "Witches" (and in some cases not even sanctioning is enough to stop the mob), while in other books sanctioned Psykers are given the same respect as tax collectors; they are viewed as government officials and given the appropriate respect, but nobody really likes them. It should be noted that not only is the Imperium so massive both examples can be true at the same time, the setting being what it is, uncontrolled use of psychic powers often causes insanity, and other side-effects can include: mutation, possession, death and uncontrolled psychic phenomena, getting your soul eaten, or otherwise drawing the attention of Chaos. The more dramatic effects (and thankfully much rarer) effects include a chance of getting your entire planet eaten by demons or inadvertently drawing the attention of your friendly neighborhood Chaos Cult or Chaos Space Marines. The Imperium, though it often considers it a professional requirement to be overzealous, is Properly Paranoid when it comes to Psykers. It should also be noted that Imperium is incredibly hypocritical when it comes to this. They often hunt down and kill any psyker not aligned with them, and have been known treat those who are with contempt and paranoid hatred. On the other hand, psykers who appear "holy" to the Imperium are valued. The "miracles" brought about by the Sisters of Battle are seen as sacred, despite being in all likelihood a manifestation of psychic power on a grand scale (the setting tends to "bend" to faith). And the founder of the Imperium, the Emperor, was the most powerful psyker of all time. Ironically, these abilities caused people to worship him as a god, despite his not wanting people to believe in ''any'' gods, and punishing one of his sons for spreading a religion about him. Within the Imperium, the Ecclesiarchy fits the trope much more solidly, as they are often concerned with the physical and spiritual purity of Humanity and thus hate psykers on principle. They're the ones most responsible for keeping people afraid of psykers. Also note that they are the same folks mentioned above who tend to praise Saints and miracles brought about by the Sisters of Battle. Within the context of the setting, the Saints may actually have divine powers, or may just have "regular" psychic powers. The Dark Eldar also take this trope into account. They are descended from a naturally psychic species, but psychic powers are one of their few taboos. As it stands, their only psychic talents are using psychic artifacts and "drinking" the suffering of others. Any psykers found is immediately considered a plaything, and also a potential hazard. Since psykers do tend to draw Chaos towards themselves, and the Dark Eldar have a vested interest in keeping it at bay at all costs this is somewhat justifiable. The Tau have practically no psychic presence. While they don't necessarily hunt down or encourage psykers, they don't have much actual understanding of them beyond what they find in other species (their FTL doesn't use the Warp, unlike the other factions, and thus they believe daemons to be another hostile species of alien). They are the faction that puts the most trust in science and technological advance as opposed to the dogma found in most other species, and consider the Warp to be something that can be studied and mastered. (What they're only starting to realize is that the Warp is antithetical to that attitude.) Also, the Tau are culturally inclined to be sympathetic, so the Tau are much nicer to psykers. A species of psykers called the Nicassar are allied with the Tau, and the Tau try to keep them a secret from the Imperium, knowing what they do to psykers. Finally, what they do exactly with psykers that arise in their human populations within their protectorate domains, is a question yet unanswered. Necrons are this, being diametrically opposed to the Chaos Gods and the Warp. Pre-Retcon, their solution to this was to exterminate all life, destroying the emotions that empower the Warp. Even after the overhaul when they are a tiny bit nicer, the Necrons are explicitly not using warp powers, instead they use Space Egyptian SkeleBot 9000 Super Science, which is just as strong while far less dangerous with the side effects, though it's often hard to tell that it's not magic. |

Drowtales: The Kyorls believe their magic is sanctioned by their goddess and wish to purge the other schools of magic, especially the Nidra'chals and other demon summoners. To be fair, nether demons love to find innocent victims to possess, dominate, and mutate into eldritch horrors. In truth, the high templars want to attain elite mastery over the demon summoning arts while preventing hedge witches from constantly screwing it up. | |

Warhammer: The Dwarfs are a fairly straight example since Dwarfs can't use magic directly and don't seem to trust it, but they do have magical items and for game balance purposes the Anvil of Doom can be used to cast spells. The Bretonnians set themselves up like this, but hypocritically, since they have "Prophetesses" who can cast "prayers" that look suspiciously like the spells used by other factions. Similarly, the knights consider missile weapons and siege engines to be unchivalrous but are perfectly happy to let commoners field them. It's less "Anti-" than simple mistrust. Magic-potential children in Brettonia are taken away by the Green Knight. The girls come back as Prophetesses, the boys don't come back at all. Strictly speaking, the Empire's religion is opposed to magic and demands that its citizens Burn the Witch!. However, the Empire has a College system to allow wizards to be properly trained and given "Please do not burn by order of the Emperor" letters. |

There's also the original Inquisition, an ancient group of mage-hunters that was absorbed by the Chantry and turned into the Templars. The new Inquisition in the third game can be guided into either supporting or opposing mages depending on your decisions. However, the new Inquisitor can learn that the last Inquisitor of the original Inquisition, and close friend of the founder of the Chantry, was in fact a mage, suggesting that that the rigid boundaries mages are currently subject to was not part of the original plan. |

In Born Wicked, the Brotherhood, who are in charge of everything, are anti-magic. They oppress women, and their strongest enemies are female witches, so they kill them wherever they can. | |

Quite a bit more prominent in AdventureQuest Worlds' sister game, Dragonfable. The Big Bad of chapter 3, Jaania, was Driven to Madness by being magically sealed in ice for several centuries as the end result of a Love Triangle that went out of control. The abuse of magic by the Big Bads for the first two chapters almost succeeded in destroying the entire world. Between that, the elementals' never-ending wars and frequent dragon attacks, Jaania becomes convinced that magic is an inherently evil force. One of her first acts is to seal away the Hero in an icy prison much like her own. After a Time Skip, the Hero finally breaks free, only to enter a world where most people have come to despise magic, and magic-using beings like him/herself are being hunted down by Jaania's organization, The Rose. | |

Witch & Wizard's New Order takes this a notch further and condemns all arts, not just the arcane/mystic ones — although the two persecuted protagonists do have powers. Turns out to be hypocritical, as the Big Bad, "The One Who Is the One" uses magic BIG TIME, sometimes to kill children—out of sheer boredom! | |

In Choice of Magics, The Church of Abraxas forbids the use of magic. It's hypocritical. They just re-christen loyal mages as Saints and call their powers divine miracles. | |

The dominant religion in the setting of Crystal Heroes frowns specifically upon black magic (in the vein of RPG-style elemental spells), while practicing healing magic among their clergy. So they're not so much an Antimagical Faction as much as an Antiblackmagical Faction. | |

In Exile/Avernum III: Ruined World: Part of the game takes place on an island that's become the epicenter of a religion whose followers reject the use of magic. They aren't particularly sinister, but trying to complete the game as one of them definitely qualifies as a Self-Imposed Challenge. The Anama only reject arcane magic and find the use of priestly magic perfectly acceptable. Since divine magic can fill some of the functions of arcane magic and has exclusive access to healing, the trade-off is really whether cheap and early access to the best priest spells is worth giving up magery. |

League of Legends has the kingdom of Demacia, whose hatred and denial of magic contrasts greatly to its otherwise proud, if militaristic veneer. This stems from its very origins; originally a refugee camp during the cataclysmic Rune Wars, the land Demacia would be built on was home to its mysterious Anti-Magic forests (by modern times, Demacians would learn to develop them into a refined Anti-Magic "petricite" found all over the nation's architecture), and its shunning of magic is as old a value to them as honor and justice. Anyone found to have magic in Demacia is exiled or forced to undergo treatments to kill their magic.... or quietly inducted into Demacia's clandestine mage corps as border patrol. | |

In Quest for Glory, the scientists are Flat Earth Atheists to a man, and while Dr. Cranium is a nice if dismissive fruit cake, the scientists in QFG 5 try to assassinate your mage allies on this principle (they attempt to do you in too, but for different reasons). | |

In The Legend of Korra the Equalists are a rising anti-bending and Muggle Power movement within the metropolis of Republic City, where both benders and non-benders are supposed to live together in harmony. They believe the benders of Republic City use their Elemental Powers to oppress non-benders, a belief strengthened by the presence of the Triple Threat Triads, a bender organized crime gang. The Equalist soapboxers advertise a revolution against the bending class and foster hatred for benders in general. Led by their masked general Amon, the Equalists employ new technologies against benders, and their fighting style makes use of the same Pressure Point chi-blocking techniques notably used by Badass Normal Ty Lee from Avatar: The Last Airbender. But as of the first-season finale, it seems that Amon is actually de-bending people with bloodbending (a form of waterbending), of all things! | |

In Mordheim the Witch Hunters faction embodies this trope. Sure, given the setting, they focus on fighting the malevolent chaotic mages, but their back-story leaves little doubt about their general anti-magic beliefs. | |

The Coalition States in Rifts is anti-magic in the same way they're Anti-Nonhuman. They weren't always this way. The Coalition actually was starting a nascent Special-Ops program using mages, then they got into a bloody war with the one magic-using faction that was nearly as bad as they are (or would be). They turned anti-magic after that, but a few surviving ex-Coalition mages (and their descendants/students) formed a group called The Vanguard and chose to continue helping the Coalition from the shadows. | |

A few of these exist in Mage: The Awakening. The Seers of the Throne are pretty much the "Hypocrite" variant mentioned above: they want to make sure that the only people who get to Awaken are the ones who will throw their will behind their ascended masters. Though at least they're honest enough to admit outright that they're not so much "anti-magic" as "anti-people other than Seers using magic". The Banishers, on the other hand, are mages who had their Awakenings go horribly wrong, and now hunt other mages out of a desire to cleanse the earth of their "sins." The Lucid, meanwhile, are Sleepwalkers who went wrong, kind of like Banishers, and so are driven insane when they sense magic, causing them to instinctively and unquestioningly kill any mage or destroy a magic item they encounter. | |

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt has King Radovid of Redania, who is violently opposed to magic - and the Lodge of Sorceresses in particular - and he brutally tortures and executes any and all magic users he can lay his hands on. This all stems from his boyhood when his father King Vizimir II was assassinated by his sorceress advisor Philippa Eilhart, who then proceeded to assume the regency of Redania and domineer and humiliate young Radovid until he reached maturity. He's been taking revenge on mages ever since. | |

Dragonlance: Groups like the Minotaurs and the Gnomes disdain magic for various reasons, though they (generally) don't actively hunt magic-users down—they just don't do it themselves, and look down on anyone who does. The empire of Istar, however, played this trope very straight as an example of divine vs. arcane magic. It didn't end well. |

Merlin (2008): Uther Pendragon tries to ban magic. At the time it's set, he has largely succeeded in destroying a culture (through unknown methods, as his elite knights have proven inept at defeating even a lone sorcerer, except by dumb luck). Most of the conflict in the story comes from people hating him for the various repressions and executions involved in this, usually with Arthur stuck squarely in the crossfire, and from Merlin trying to do his thing without getting outed and killed as a traitorous sorcerer. Ironically, though, with the exception of Merlin, the series is rather vague on how justified Uther's crusade was. Gaius, himself a magic user, seems to be of the opinion that there was a significant fraction of evil wizards and witches back then. At the same time, however, we're treated to stories of the brutal slaughter of the relatively benign druids. The magic users left now aren't really unethical in killing their version of Hitler. As time goes on, it's clear that the magical faction wasn't that innocent either. Apparently, the High Priestesses had a magical tower where they sent people to be brainwashed, a serpent they'd summon from the depths of the underworld if they needed to do it quickly would tear the veil between life and death every solstice (although the summer one was quite tame if done right, the winter solstice set hundreds of depraved souls loose on innocents), and had extremely harsh methods of keeping the non-magical in line. Of course, the remaining high priestess who does all this is pretty far off the deep end, so we're left to draw our own conclusions about how much of this was actually done when Uther declared war. |

In Overlord II the Glorious Empire hunts down magical creatures and magic in general. The creatures that are not killed outright are drained of their magical energies and then put into the Arena. All the energy is accumulated in a vat in the palace for Emperor Solarius' ascension to godhood. A textbook hypocritical example. | |

The Blood of the Fold in Terry Goodkind's The Sword of Truth is a classical example (though its leader makes use of his sister's magic against other users'), while the Imperial Order from the Old World is a hypocritical example. Ultra-powerful wizards and various magical weapons are used for the Order's cause of Magic Is Bad (one wizard in the Order even says when questioned on his hypocrisy that yes, eventually he will be killed too after they succeed in destroying all magic). At the same time, the Order's leaders are conferring Immortality upon themselves with it. One Imperial Order member later explains they use magic to eliminate it. | |
