High magic to me has always seemed like a cheep cop-out on the part of the GM who doesn't want to bother focusing on plot and interpersonal interactions. Sort of like the difference between a movie with lots of special effects but not much of a plot: might be fun for a while, but it's not the kind of movie I would want to watch week after week...Besides, I want my magic to be, well... magical, i.e fantastic, extraordinary, amazing. Hard to do when everybody meets encounters some form of magic on a daily basis.Personally, I would prefer rare magic, but also somewhat weaker magic. Otherwise, if only you reduce the prevalence of magic but make it available to your PCs, it actually becomes *more* powerful for them. You'd have to at least tone down the powerlevel a bit as well, otherwise the PC magic users will be unbalanced. I would also prefer to tone down the powerlevel of D&D in general, but that's a discussion for another time...</blockquote>
