Somewhere in the world is a mountain a thousand miles tall and made of solid diamond.
Every thousand years, a bird lands there and brushes the top with its feathers once.
And when that mountain is eroded away? I'll be free to game.

I tried to come up with an idea around "reverse dispel magic", as in a spell that takes a place without magic and puts magic there, and then I realised that I just came up with magic again.
Dispel Magic came first and all other magical spells are just putting Dispel Magic in reverse polarity.

The "cozycore" identity WotC's been pushing for D&D lately may be toothless and completely disconnected from the game's rules, but it's a reflection of how a lot of D&D "lifestylers" interact with the brand. This isn't a new creative direction, it's a business decision.
