The sands of the desert aren't the same sand. I know it's confusing.Think of it this way. Life is magic, the sand was used as to give form to function. Dead people don't lose their magic, it still exist in the world, but more people are born than die, so over time the amount on average in each person, decreases dramatically.

So is there no magic to be gleaned by living in the sands? Hmmmmmm...

Still think that I can make this work, but I might have to change up their location/religion a bit to make it so. Which is a bummer, I like them as sand people more than jungle types TT^TT
