Just because there's magic doesn't mean it's evenly distributed. And finding someone capable of casting higher level magics isn't an easy feat.
I play in a slightly modified DnD 5e Forgotten Realms (some years in the future with a new Mystra)
Basically Regenerate would bring you back to your normal state or the state you perceive as your normal state.
Some examples:
Basically: learning magic is hard, the components are typically expensive, and finding someone who is already skilled in magic enough to cast it is hard. Not to mention the costs associated with it.
"Go to the nearest big city, there's bound to be someone who can." Yes but would they be willing to? How much would they charge? How long would you have to travel to get there? Is that feasible?
"What about Lesser Restoration, a second level spell? That one's easy to get to." Maybe in a big city, but out in a rural area that would likely still be tough as someone has to have the necessary prerequisites to get to that. You have to hone that craft and learn it from somewhere.
