    My thoughts on the issue are many and varied.

    Your question seems primarily to have two concerns:

    1) Players metagaming and optimizing knowledge and mechanics to “beat” scenarios. The sort of thing that might be referred to as a very “gamist” approach to the situation.

    2) Lost sense of wonder. Which I think relates to narrowing player sense of perspective, types of goals, and how the goals might be achieved.

  11. @shannonmcmaster Other folks have added a lot of good thoughts here.

    To build on them and generalize though:

    Magic becoming normal-seeming as players get used to it seems almost unavoidable. Unless, maybe, the magic is mostly outside their control and does not take the form of standard items/effects.
