Message: <blockquote data-quote="DeJoker" data-source="post: 7232552" data-attributes="member: 6907519">Many movies and many books resolve the issue of imprisoning spell casters by placing a special set of manacles on them that prevents them from using magic.  One of the more insidious version I saw of this is the one that creates an itching session as a side-effect which has the dual aspect of not only restrain the spell caster but slowly torturing them as wellInteresting stand -- so do you outlaw all magic as well -- I mean if one were to look closely at magic one would have to say that it would greatly impact any world where it exists (much like the industrial revolution did) and yet most GMs do not even consider the short and long term impacts of magic on their world and simply go on merrily in a manner that seemingly suggests that magic does not exist on a larger scale than an individual.As for teleportation and flying and the like -- not only does it have that coolness factor but it is just plain fun <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />  but still to nix them altogether seems rather harsh.  I have never had to delete them, I just let the players shine with that and eventually they encounter villains that shine with it as well.  Never had an issue with folks being creative with their abilities or spamming a certain thing because it works really well as my focus is on letting the players have fun and being creative about how I challenge them.  Just because they have an ability I find challenging to challenge does not inherently make it a bad thing just means I have to be a bit more creative.</blockquote>
