Being alone in the desert like this sucks.

Not for lights, no.
...no?
Wizardry hurts to do and the elemental kinds of magic hurt to get but lights and sorcerers and witches do not have this problem.
Sorcery is moving stuff around without touching it. Some people are born with the potential to control one of four elements (earth, air, fire, water); this potential can be detected with wizardry. The power's dormant until the power is necessary to save your life. You can activate air powers by just leaping off something tall and not hitting the ground, but the others are typically activated on a lot of painkillers or while outright unconscious.

It is weird that most kinds of magic don't hurt to do, here, but given that it makes sense that the one that's the most doing magic-ish instead of random superpower-ish would be the one that does.
It only hurts if they're doing largish spells for their capacity.
Yeah, stings a little if they use more than half and goes up from there and this is why teleportation circles are so expensive, hardly anyone can do them and if they can do them they have to use full or near-full capacity.

Huh. Well, this is a square planet. It does make sense that things would work completely differently.
Why, what's her magic actually like to do?
Well that's weird.
Well, none of their magic has mental side effects, that just sounds like a terrible way to do magic.

Well, doing magic involves pushing on the universe with your brain! Why wouldn't the universe push back?
That is improper universe behavior.
What's wrong with their square planet? It's perfectly good for all planetary purposes.

It has ocean going all the way through in several places and it looks like one well-placed jostle would destroy the whole thing.
...but things don't really jostle planets.
