Ah, you illustrate a problem in my own world. People need to learn to do without, to solve problems on their own and not rely on magic. It can make some things easier, but what happens if that magic is no longer available, or it simply does not solve the problem? Magic is a tool, yes, but like all tools they have their purpose and should be used in the right time in the right way. You don't hammer a nail with a saw, after all.
