I suppose I'm a *Medium Fantasy* as opposed to either High or Low Fantasy. I say that in the sense that I oftentimes consider myself to run a campaign that typifies about 2/3 *Low Fantasy* and mixes 1/3 *High Fantasy* I don't especially like "Magic everything, everywhere" and the players can just walk into a *magic shop* and order up whatever they like from the DMG. Nope. I like the players to struggle and sweat for everything they get. I recall that my group pretty much went until 4th or 5th level with nothing more than a few helpful potions, and the most benign of scrolls, as magic. Thus, I tend to really like *realistic, gritty fantasy*However, having said that, though I probably have that standard rule over much of the campaign area, in the elven realms, and in the wealthiest of the great empires, I can't help but carefully integrate *High Fantasy* into it more. The incredible magic available--combined with great wealth--seems to demand that some very different realities prevail than the typical 14th century European town image. I suppose I strive for the best of both worlds!<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> Thus, *Medium Fantasy*In thinking about the impact of high-level magic, it can of course become very *High Fantasy* Which, is just very cool. Still, depending on their degree of numbers and presence, such an impact can be indeed variable. However, Castellan, as you pointed out, and it reminds me of my own thinking, that even the most low-level spell-casters will, with sufficient numbers, and over time, --have dramatic impact upon the campaign world as a whole. Your list, (well detailed I might add)--serves as a fine appetizer to the possibilities!<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Semper Fidelis,SHARK</blockquote>
