This is a good example of how virtue signaling takes precedence over everything else and it makes everything worse.
They wanted to have a crippled but important character to virtue signal about disability. Since it’s a fantasy setting and he’s a mage, he could be floating in some sort of magic throne. But that doesn’t work as well to signal their virtue since floating thrones don’t exist in real life, but wheelchairs do. So they put him in a wheelchair so that people in wheelchairs can “see themselves in media” or something, but they also knew that it would be ridiculous for such a powerful mage to use a standard wheelchair.
And that’s how we got here. A floating wheelchair. Something that doesn’t even use its wheels. It could look like anything, but the image of a heroic character in a wheelchair was so important to the writers that logic didn’t even come into play.
Now imagine that every decision is made like this. Why is this medieval European village so diverse? Why are there women fighting on the front lines in this post-apocalypse? Because the virtue signal always takes precedence.
