A suffusion of yellow
One of the flaws of DnD is its over reliance on magic, in particular utility spells that substitute for others skills and abilities.
Of course no party is required to have a spellcaster but the ubiquity of magic items, magic traps and pesudomagical abilities gives the game a very magical orientation to the extent that certain scenarios only work if magic is either allowed for or actively countered, The classic example is Murder mystery V Speak with dead, and trying to lock things or bar doors is pointless when someone can cast Knock (I personally hate this spell)
