And there is also Beric doing resurrections for a while. And the CoF and the Three-eyed Raven....And the White Walkers. So it seems very obvious to me magic was never completely gone, not nearly.
Not to mention the theory that magic suddenly comes back after hundreds of years and all of a sudden all these people become powerful users despite never practicing it or even trying, really (in Dany's case).
Beric... himself wasn't resurrected until after the dragons were born. Agree everything north of the wall was still there but in a weakened state. Are the white walkers planning an attack now because they are getting stronger? what have they been doing for the last 1000s of years since the last attack lol. (the last dragons died 100 or so years ago when the story starts... So that wouldnt have been what kept the white walkers at bay... But why now is a question that I haven't found an answer too...)
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.
