...Hm. Part of that almost sounds similar to being inflicted by mara; though, long-lived species would have the misfortune of gaining certain abilities instead.
Some magic catastrophe that threatens to destroy our world about once a year. We have to deal with it every time it pops up.
[Mara though. An infliction?]
I think it's just that a wizard's mind can only take in so much. Our lives ain't easy by any means. Go through enough trouble and eventually it starts to weigh on you.

More painful sort, I think. Wizards just get weaker and lose their magic, and then they lose their minds.

[ Seems strange to have a catastrophe keeping popping up once a year and having it be the same... ]
Hmph. I suppose that's similar to how it is with the long-lived species that I know.
Though, it might also be due to the Aeon's 'blessing'.
