Remember that there are "normal" heroes that follow the "rules" of gloranthan magic - Player hereos are even more rare than "heroes" in general.

Normally this is not a problem. OiD is strange and different and scary because it has never happened before - at least not since the Dawn (or maybe the Sunstop...). An entire people losing their magic is unheard of. When it does happen, it's an Oh, wow" moment.
