I mean, I was giving this topic an easy out, but if you really want to be that much of a bitch about it...
>What would be the consequences of widespread access to magical healing in a fantasy setting?
Nothing.
Nothing changes.
Why?
Well, with how many NPC healers price gouge the shit out of you for their healing spells, and presumably do the same thing to their fellow villagers, it's pretty much just real life health care. Except with an actual god who you can blame for being stingy as fuck.
So, yeah. The poor still live and die at the same rate, the rich still reap the benefits of the healthcare system especially with regular "contributions" to the local church, the clergy are still stingy assholes who will let children die on the streets of plague and malnutrition due to not having the proper copper pieces for it, and nobody with any common sense plays D&D or base a question from it.

idk why, maybe it's cause i'm older now, but hearing annoying things said "ironically" is even more obnoxious to me now than hearing them said in earnest
i've just developed a complete lack of patients for disingenuousness

I like the first two Zeno Clash games in an artistic sense (the gameplay was always meh), but this one is really hard to like.
The level design is a bunch of samey looking twisting hallways surrounded by invisible walls. It's so fucking tedious getting anywhere, and the "shortcuts" don't even matter because dying twice throws you back to a previous save (which kind of defeats the point of a souls-like death system).
There's also the usual modern game trappings like unnecessary RPG stats, crafting, and le hecking epic DARK SOULS combat and encounter design.
I liked the writing and art overall, though, it was a little too colorful and Dr. Seuss-y compared to Zeno Clash I & II.
