Has magic ever really been "stable" in Faerun? They have massive world-shaking cataclysms every few years, gods are dying and being reborn left and right at all times, the goddess of magic herself has been killed how many times? The Time of Troubles, the Spellplague, both Sunderings, Karsus' Folly and the fall of Netheril, I mean this world is on shaky magical ground at ANY given time, it seems to me.
