Crimson Longinus
Legend
These literally are the same thing. Potentially interesting stuff and an an important focus of play refer to the same thing. And yes, the fix is to remove the offending sort of magic, which is what I have done.But if you don't want a certain sort of magic in your game, then you remove it! Eg, if you want overland travel to be an important focus of play, then don't include teleportation magic.
That is different from the idea of "bypassing potentially interesting stuff". There is endless potentially interesting stuff that does not depend up on overland travel being a focus of play.
