In other words, it's used instead of technology. It is an integral part of people's lives, and there are people who use magic as their occupation". In the world of Fairy Tail, magic is a part of everyday life and "is bought and sold there every day.Hilariously, he manages to invert Mundane Utility and find combat applications for these skills. The lead of High School D×D, Issei, creates his first two personalized spells to fit under this: Dress Break, which destroys the clothing of any female he can touch, and Bilingual, which allows him to communicate with a girl's breasts (did we mention he's a Lovable Sex Maniac?).In Earwig and the Witch, Bella makes her living selling prepared spells and potions for mundane things like good luck and little acts of revenge, something Erica finds rather disappointing.One example is the Bubble, which he created in order to make it easier to give Keroberos a bath. Cardcaptor Sakura: A lot of the Clow Cards were originally created by Clow Reed to help with various mundane tasks.Even Gluhen Des Herzen, which looks like a broom-shaped rocket but is actually a vacuum cleaner (much to Urd and Peorth's protests when they find out). The most notable instance are magic brooms, which can both fly at enormous speed and be used to clean (in fact that's the basic definition). Loads and loads of spells into Ah!

This can get as crazy as worlds where everything is done with a spell, from cooking to transportation to brushing your teeth. Why modify that fireball spell to cook your hotdog, when you can just have a spell that does exactly that in the first place, and to your perfect specifications?
