Sure, use spellcasting in a world where even knowing about anything eldritch makes you insane. Low intelligence builds live longer.

Yeah, I don't see the draw in that kind of setting. Not really my cup of tea.

Can't go mad from having an existential crisis if you're too dumb to have one in the first place.

Absolutely. For anyone not familiar, one of the mechanics in call of cthulu is an intelligence roll that if you fail, you're good, but if you succeed on the roll... Well then your mind correlates all its contents and you go mad

Going mad is part of the fun though
