They aren't slots used only for utility, that's your emergency Revivify slot or your emergency Mass Healing Word. Its not a free slot by any means. At level 5, you can only cast 3rd level spells twice in a day.If you're a druid, its the same concept for tier 1.But as a DM, I can't expect the mundane to challenge the fantastic, so I put multiple effects onto the area which i want to challenge their travel. If I want a desert, I could make it so that the natural heat and infertility also stunts the magical growth, causing a dead magic zone. Walking through the enchanted forest may subject the players to Wild Magic, making spellcasting dangerous. But really, I'm not trying to constantly threaten the players through survival challenges, so it doesn't get old because it only occurs when I'm actually using it and not when I think I haven't punished the players enough.</blockquote>
