Magic is terrifying and alien, and everybody who knows even a lousy cantrip is afraid of casting it because it will cost them a Sanity point to do so. Seeing monsters costs Sanity points. Seeing dead bodies costs Sanity points. Reading crumbling tomes of eldritch lore (spell books) or bargaining with "demons" to impart such lore directly costs Sanity points. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /> The game is much more scary and mysterious now.
