If you draw you power from a connection to nature, then in a world where nature is in its death throes, your magic should be weaker.Spoiler alert: if you ask me about divine magic, I’m also going to advocate for it being weak, if it even still exists. Basically, I think Dark Sun should have under-powered casters pretty much across the board, except for defiling, which should be easily accessible for any arcane magic user, and provide stronger than baseline magic. That’s how you make the players viscerally feel why the world got the way it is.But, again, I fully admit this is a radical and new direction that there’s no chance WotC would take the setting in. If I had unlimited free time and/or thought there was a reasonable chance of it becoming anything more than a vanity project, I’d just make my own homebrew setting inspired by the potential I see in Dark Sun. But, in this reality, I’ll have to satisfy myself by ranting at all of you about my high-minded armchair design ideas.I’m sorry, thank you all for putting up with my nonsense when I get in these moods</blockquote>
