There are persistent spells that have devastated the world. Anyone that lives in proximity to them might be afflicted by direct effects of the spell, or be warped by the spell itself.
Edict of Rust - All of the iron in your body rusts.

Primordial's Spite - Some part of your body has become aligned with the elements. You might bleed fire. Your bones might turn to stone. It varies from person to person. More severe cases might see the person turn into an elemental, losing their mind in the process.

depends on the setting/agreed upon terms. I've been in communities that have pushed for realism to a foolish degree, and I've been at tables that are far more lax about it.

If I'm playing 5e, you can fall from orbit and be fine* provided you have hp. Cyberpunk? A third story fall is causing harm

The Pit of Carceri.

It is a prison that sinks into the bowels of the earth. In the absence of hell, mortals built a prison for other mortals. The wardens have built layer after layer on the top over millennia. Jailers stalk the lower levels, warped by the prison itself, some no longer recognizable.

Most of the premiere arable land was horribly cursed during the last war, so food is scarce.

Iron deposits are rare in my setting, so it's worth its weight in gold.

Phlegyite, an extremely combustible material, is also prized for various purposes. Mostly by legions, few know its true potential.

Transmutation Effigy - You can change into different states of matter at will, be it gas, water, solid, or otherwise. No more lengthy commutes when you can just fly to your destination. Swim wherever you like.

Although I Voted for You to Be Turned into Soup, There’s No Reason We Can’t Be Friends Before You Are Liquefied
A small percentage of my friends, coworkers, and loved ones may soon join the ranks alongside other hot liquids I slurp for nourishment. But there’...
