>medieval society wouldn't really have the material culture to produce a wheelchair.
BOY you could have done just a real quick google search "medieval times, wheelchair" and figure out that in 6th century China, people created wheelchairs. That kinda dashes your whole "didn't really exist" argument you build there.
>What's more, a person bound to a wheelchair could simply be healed by magical means in a fantasy setting.
Depends on the Fantasy setting. As I alluded to before in this thread, not every injury can be healed in a fantasy world with magic. WoW specifically has ways to cure disease, injury, poison, curse, and even death with magic, yet on "canon injuries" these often do not work. This has been established for ages. It's been a meme in fucking 1997 Internet Forums with "Why didn't they just use a Phoenix Down on Aerith, lol?"
You can not take your in-game abilities, and expect them to be translated 1 to 1 into the story. Every fight would just be: "okay, we'll just put 20 healers behind the good guy and then he literally can't die". You might as well be asking: "If the boss has an enrage timer, why doesn't he just use these strong raid wipe abilities from the start?" because then there'd be no game / no story. In "canon" preparing a levitation spell might be more difficult than it is in-game. Hell, in game you don't even need to farm fucking feathers for it any more like you used to.
