Mercedes Lackey's character Vanyel Ashkevron (The Last Herald-Mage) cast a mind-control spell over all of Valdemar to make its people to forget that "Magic" really existed for a "good reason".
Of course, once Valdemar learned that magic was actually real (and threated them), NOBODY SAID ANY BAD about long dead Vanyel.
