I want to see more dark fantasy stories that interact with the concept of “magic but fucked up”. Give me magic being a primal, violent thing. Give me magic that was never even meant for the mortal body to house so it hurts. Give me uncaring magic using people like vessels to release its energy; it’s not the tool, you are. Magic that drains you bit by bit and lessens your life span to conjure it. Magic that turns you into something dark and inhuman the more you use it. Magic with a hefty price. Magic but fucked up.

ANYWAY I'd like very much to get Mahid active so toss him any ask you like; I'm chill with both first meetings and plotting pre-established stuff.

Thinking about how magic works in Mahid's universe and why he wasn't healed with magic after the car accident that paralyzed him: long story short, magic can only do so much. It's powerful, it can save lives, but saving a life does not mean fixing everything. It should never be used as a cure-all.

His universe plays into the theory that the "soothing light" produced by healing magic is mostly to cloud what someone being healed can see: curative magic is a bit of an eldritch horror

Which is another reason it can't just fix anything. The more complicated it is, the harder it is, the more severe the injury? The more magic is required. And it isn't always perfect. It doesn't always work. It can actually make the injury worse if the user isn't careful.
