The Principalities of Glantri and the Empire of Alphatia from the Mystara setting of "That other game" might offer some insight into how common use of magic might create rigid class divisions. Likewise with Moonshade from Ultima 7 part 2 (Serpent Isle).
Fire Sea, from the Death Gate series of novels, discusses Nereidalbel's ethical quandary throughout the book.
The social and ideological conflicts could also be totally orthogonal to magic. An example from Gulliver's Travels: The dominant religion states a hard boiled egg should always be broken on the convenient end. Which end is convenient?
