All magic users simply have to use their magic or remain in bare skin contact with the ground to have it drain off. This way babies with magic aren't in any danger as they can simply sleep on bare earth. Works with non-dirt based grounding too; maybe all magi have to sleep touching live plants or something else. | |

In this case, Magic isn't constantly produced, it is simply converted from other types of energy: hence a person can die if they use more energy than they "have", or alternately they can slowly siphon off some of their own energy store it in a gemstone or similar. Think of it like going for a run: you create energy from the sugar/fat in your body, but if you don't need it you simply leave it in the stored state. | |
