I hate when stories have a magic cure all spell. At least have there be caveats. It feels like a cheap excuse not to have disabled people in your world.

If you wanna have a spell to restore limbs, fine. But maybe make it so it requires the removed limb in question or something. Make it so healing spells can’t automatically fix chronic illness. Let your characters be disabled for goodness sake.

#writing #pet peeves #honestly hate this trope #I was reading a fanfic where the main character got their leg badly burned #and they were all like #oh dark magic can’t be healed but we can at least stop the spread and do some things to help manage the pain #and then next chapter they’re like nevermind it’s only some dark magic #and they healed the burn #I had to stop reading #it felt like drama for the sake of drama but they don’t wanna deal with the consequences #:(
