It would look weird. Also on land, if you climbed any appreciable height and weren't surrounded by higher heights, and allow annoying amounts of long-range observation and mapping.
The use of atmospheric haze to limit information gathering at a distance is a good method to employ.

Then have the Wizard's Guild develop scrying type spells to defeat the problem. They would be very long, complex, and ST demanding to cast.
