[This has been on my mind for… a couple years now actually but it’s not fully polished quite yet]

My problem with fictional characters using magical aids and getting magical cures is less that either of those things exist and more that those things existing often indicates a failure to think about how disability exists in a world beyond that magic.

Like, hovering mobility chairs solve the problem of stairs and rough terrain, but for people who self-propel, getting around in a wheelchair is part of how they exercise. How do people compensate for that? What do they do if the hovering stops working? And what about people who can’t use stairs because they use a walker or crutches or have knee problems?

Similarly, if you can go to your local cleric and get your blindness cured, what does that mean? Can they cast ‘Bestow Normal Vision’ or does it only set your body to the best state your genetics will allow (eg you can remove cataracts, but colorblind people are still colorblind)? Is it a widely available option or very limited, difficult, or expensive? Are there people who choose not to undergo treatment for some reason? Will magic permanently cure degenerative conditions, or is it only a stopgap?

And, maybe most importantly, if disabled people’s lives are commonly changed by magic, how does that impact the way societies treat them? Are there accessibility issues that are commonly ignored because it’s assumed everyone is using a magical aid? Are people who can’t or don’t get a magical cure for their disability further marginalized? Or held up as inspirations, religious figures, or saints? Would magical societies draw the lines of disability in different places than we do today?

Worldbuilding that engages with disability in a nuanced and interesting way? Great. Magic used to cure characters or fix a perceived problem without considering a population’s needs and  broader implications of that intervention? Not so much.

Four roommates are extraterrestrials who have taken human form in the hopes of learning about Earth’s culture. Unfortunately, each alien is from a different planet and believes the other three are normal humans.
