Yrth had many problems. Strangely enough, one of the big ones would have been easily solved by a single addition to the spell list. An Ignite Propellant spell with an area effect and a cost of 1/10 per yard (minimum 1) would have given a logical reason for firearms not existing (a ceremonial casting could potentially ignite every propellant within 1000 yards). Other solutions would have been to allow magic to change the economy like it realistically would have with the distribution that existed in Yrth.
