Forget what I wrote in the last post. Now that I think more on it, (having given the idea a grand total of 2 minutes before I started typing it), it wouldn't make sense for there to be areas where there's no magic and areas where there's heaps of it. At least, not the way I've explained it.
If it were working like I had explained it, wouldn't the low-magic zones have accumulated a great deal more magic that previously thought? Since I gave no auxiliary method for the magic to diminish other than its direct use by someone, there'd be no reason to assume the magic just "seeps" out and fades away. For example, one of the climate zones I mentioned was the desert. Now, obviously there's little magical input by way of the wind or occasional raining season, but what does accumulate stays there for centuries and centuries before being used in exceedingly rare occasions. Not only that, but I said that the sun heaps magic down onto the world's surface. The sun's been active far longer than any organic magic user, making it increasingly unlikely that there is any chance of magic from an area being drained.
So forget what I said. After 5 more minutes of thought and a modicum of debunking, that idea's just silly. Besides, I wasn't going anywhere with it anyway.
Funny how nobody thought to challenge me on that one. Makes me think you guys aren't reading these. Not that I mind or anything, but I'd appreciate some input. Why else do you think I put these up here? To flaunt my ability to pad a 1 minute idea with a paragraph of text? I think not.
Again, I'm asking for some challenges to be brought to light for me to work over if my idea presents any. I'd also like some secondary addenda if you've got any to provide. Work with me people. With me.

mkay, so i just read this and the last post, and the one before it, and i'll concur with you on the magic thing making no sense. maybe you could make it something more like water. where it's used (Evaporated) and it goes away and then it slowly returns to areas on the planet.... what would make some areas more concentrated than others, i do not know. but you could come up with some other mumbo-jumbo for that i suppose.... i don't feel like thinking to hard on this right now, so i'm sure if i reread this in a few minutes (which i wont) i'd find tons of holes in this idea, but oh well, you'll find them josh.
