Another player who was at the table during the incident sent me this meme after the problem player in question (they had a history) left the group chat.
Felt like sharing it here because I’m sure more people should keep this kind of thing in mind.

This is where a good storyteller would have a blast.
Maybe a mage could heal it, but then they would take on the disability themselves.
Or a magical disability is the result of a 1:1 battle with another magic wielder. Only a being of equal power can cause permanent damage.
The disability is a payment for some rare power. Maybe you lose your eyes but can now see the astral plane and pilot the Event Horizon.
We have it set up in our campaign where it’s often seen as hella rare for someone with that level of magic
More specifically out campaign turned into a space campaign amount lv 15 cause our planet exploded cause lore lmao
But there’s like planets where there’s nothing but the most basic of cantrips so we end up being gods to them
so far only one has attempted to exploit this and it was the cleric lmao Mainly because they are now the last embodiment of their God and are sort of designed to become them or something lol
Along with what everyone else said - in some universes using magic has a cost to the user. So one could be exhausted just getting around by constantly needing to be floated along.
