Why would you want to take one of the coolest and most defining aspects of your characters and get rid of it? That's how I feel.
because keeping those characters in a form of IC in a situation where they have less power is really revealing analysis of character imo. Which to many people, like me, is really engaging. I looooove character analysis within the concept of fiction (as opposed to like...an essay).

That's nice. But the vast (and I mean vaaaast) majority of the time, the author appears to have made no real attempt to keep the characters any form of IC. They're just blank slates wearing the canon character's names.

It takes deft character work to remove fundamentally formative aspects of a character's life and still keep them in character.

okay? the question was just about motivation, but I'm sure that sucks and also sure that adding some element like magic for instance to something non-magical does not fix any character problems and can often make the characterization several times worse because there is no genre not full of tropes that bad authors badly integrate, lmao.
