My biggest fantasy pet peeve in fantasy isn't up there...

Powerful, abundant, convenient magic with no drawbacks that can easily replace all conventional technology... yet doesn't replace any of it. If there must be magic, I say write it the way George R. R. Martin does in A Song of Ice and Fire. Smallish effects that come at an incredibly high price to the caster.

Like the fundemental law in FMA, the alchemy.
