Alternative limit on wizards - Muggles are a headache

If wizardry is psionic then iron isn't the problem, people are.

In this variant wizards have problems sleeping in cities or even towns around hundreds or more untrained minds. Each night the wizard needs to roll 3/IQ or suffer a point of environmental fatigue. Crammed into a prison or similar makes this a 4/IQ roll.

Solutions include sleeping inside a pentagram, in a specially constructed tower, or living in a walled community of other wizards.

Insane persons, especially wizards driven mad by the muggles are another big hazard factor for these rolls.

Interesting idea. It would make wizard guild chapters in big cities an issue, unless there are large-scale countermeasures, or maybe they just need to be inside a walled park. The specifics of range/numbers/effects would be important.
