The pyromancers had been practicing the same spells for years and they suddenly started working to much greater effect.  So maybe not 100% gone   but down to a tickle over instead of a river.  so to speak.

Still don't see any magic in the House of black and white.  


One thing I have been thinking about Melissandre    is she really that old? or is her bodys state a result of her use of blood magic earlier in the series.  Magic always comes with a price.

the one big example of magic like use I remember was the medicine lady when danny was prego.   

But there is a lot of the world we never see... And most is only based on characters points of view. and their views of the world.

I suspect the show latches on to some of the more magical or miraculous aspects of the story more than the books because it makes for good screen time and visual effects. I know George R. R. Martin favors more of a gutsy historical realism, a "warts-and-all" type approach, to his books. And of course, magic isn't something big in our real history.
