Fair enough. But the problem does come down to the fact that it's a curse based on the use of our powers, even with the tattoo. It helps, but it's only natural for us to immediately draw on our own natural reserves. Normally it only really advances should we need to use high level spells, but for those with more advanced conditions, even constant use of normal spells can take a toll.
So, while the end all solution is to not use magic at all, in a world like this that's not practical. So all that's left is figuring out some counter spell or relic that either removes that little "curse side effect" completely or seals it away somehow. Short of that, something that can slow the progress.
