Another player who was at the table during the incident sent me this meme after the problem player in question (they had a history) left the group chat.
Felt like sharing it here because Iām sure more people should keep this kind of thing in mind.
Another possibility is that maybe magic can only heal injuries and illnesses, but canāt do anything with congenital disabilities, because the magic restores the person to their natural state, and being blind/etc is whatās natural for that character. So even if magic could heal those who are disabled due to circumstances, there would still be plenty of disabled people who were born with their disabilities.
Butā¦ Thereās a spell called remove blindness in several dnd editions. Itās not even high level.
Iād say that if thereās a spell that literally states a fix, itās fixable. There might be some that do not though.
Maybe the spell only removes acquired forms of blindness, say through the magic spell Blindness, curses, etc, and has no ability to generate new, functioning tissue for someone that never had any.
Pathfinder 1e / dnd 3.5 : https://www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/removeBlindnessDeafness.htm
Remove blindness/deafness cures blindness or deafness (your choice), whether the effect is normal or magical in nature.
5e spell: https://www.dndbeyond.com/spells/lesser-restoration
5eās spell might be interpreted as in, it removes the āblindedā condition, which might be different than being āblindā. However I would guess that when they developed the spell they did not think about it, they just bundled a bunch of spells in 1.
