During the Tartaros arc, they say that Face could clear all traces of magic
from the continent which would give all wizards magic deficiency syndrome (ep
238). But in Edolas, Natsu has no magic and there doesn't appear to be any
magic in the atmosphere.

So, why don't they get magic deficiency syndrome from a lack of magic?

Why didn't wizards get magic deficiency syndrome in Edolas?


A proper answer doesn't seem to have been given in the series (even in the
Manga), so the following is speculation based on what we know.

Edolas was the parallel universe where people could not use magic directly,
but magic **still existed** in the form of Lacrimas. While Mystogan reversing
the Anima at the end of that arc rendered it completely devoid of magic, it
could be that the environment earlier did have enough Ethernano to not trigger
the disease.

There are a couple of points in favor of this. First, Exceeds could stay there
safely, despite having magic in their bodies. Secondly, the Fairy Tail mages
from Earth Land could use their powers on taking the red 'X-Balls' from
Mystogan. While we don't know much about them, it's much more likely that the
pills allowed them to absorb Ethernano from the Edolas environment, than
having enough Ethernano inside them to power all their magic use for the
entire arc.

If the description of Face's effects is taken to be accurate, Edolas should
currently be inhabitable for mages, much like Fiore would become if they are
successfully activated.
