so hold on, after all these limitations,
is there any sort of incentive to actually use magic or play a mage character?
from what i have gleaned, mages are pitifully weak, horribly limited, incapable of acting if there's so much as a damn fly buzzing anywhere nearby, shunned by society at large and incapable of anything that justifies all of their limitations or time it takes to study this shit
do you "limit" magic because you don't want gish-type swordmage characters to be a thing or because you specifically don't want magic to be featured in-game but still want the game to have monsters n shit like that because that can only be justified IC by the world being magical?
