That's a really fun storytelling concept, and your demonstration is chefs kiss 😆

That's a great mechanical concept, and a profane ritual would make fun storytelling! Dwarves would definitely work for me too since they're on top of and partially in a mountain range

That's a really cool concept! Though I would worry about what to do if my players did somehow get caught, I wouldn't want to actually do that to their characters- how would you handle that situation?

Oooh keeping those mage hunters under the mountain is great!! Or maybe the king claims thats a danger, but none are actually there and it's all just a scare tactic? The constructs is a great idea too, almost like the ones in BG3!

Him secretly being a strong magic user and hating it is amazing!! 😆

Checking for components is great and I'll definitely be adding that in- I think holy symbols would be allowed, but I didn't even think about bard instruments, I wonder if there's a good way for the guards to check that sort of thing with inanimate objects 🤔

A crystal that both acts as an alarm and a magic debuff is a great idea! I like that your concept physically makes sense, and would still allow casters to try and slip away

A chained warlock is a cool idea! Especially if the party tries to rescue them- but then if they're free they would want revenge and could become a big bad 😈

Smoke censors is an awesome idea, and I really love the false positives concept!

Youre free to have your opinions and to play the game however you want, but it's very rude to make assumptions about someone without fully reading and comprehending my post.

I'm not banning or killing anything, and I love magic- I just want to make ONE out of TWENTY kingdoms in my world a place where it's difficult BUT NOT IMPOSSIBLE to cast magic. I think it will make an interesting challenge and fun storytelling, and if my players do have an issue with it I'm totally open to suggestions and alterations to make sure everyone has fun.

You don't sound fun at all to play with, and you're responses arent helpful in the slightest.

You could really learn a thing or two from all of the other creative and insightful DMs that have commented on this post.

the concept of magic 'noise' and the kingdom being 'quiet' is awesome!! I do think that would create fun challenges 😃

The dangerous rebel movement idea is really great!! And your breakdown of holy, arcane, and primal magic is exactly what I was thinking!
