Listopia > Magic is Dying/Fading/Disappearing

Stories that have a strong theme about magic dying, fading, or disappearing. This could be geographic (magic is fading from the world), or practitioner-based (there are increasingly fewer people with magic abilities). It could be a mystery as to why it is happening, or it could be something deliberate (e.g. magic practitioners have been executed).
