Coming at it from the OP's point of view, though, I would consider because its Magic, it makes it at least Okay, if not Great. However, easiest fix is to just say, "Whenever you drop to 0 hp, regardless of future healing, you gain a level of exhaustion, and further levels every time you fail a death save. These levels can only be removed via resting when you are brought back to your maximum hit points."</blockquote>
