Good point. The only answer I can think of, is that players have
feelings. Mud monsters, well, they're made out of rubber. ;)

Speaking of magical traces. It occurs to me that each practioner of
magic might leave a unique signature in the residue of casting. A
kind of a fingerprint or DNA signature. If we could only register
all of these mages and develop proper detection devices. Maybe this
is could be made a requirement of the wizard's guild. Of course
there are those renegade wizards to worry about. And the problem of
getting the evidence admissible in the king's court.
