That would certainly change the playstyle, but wouldn't it limit the game somewhat? There are so many magic items in the game, I think some people might find it boring. 

Then again, some people would probably enjoy it. It would add more challenge to the game, trying to lose sanity and revive yourself without amulets or meat effigies, not being able to freeze enemies, not being able to craft the old bell. 

But you would be able to find magic items that are naturally found in the world (pan flute near a glommer statue, ice staff surrounded by ice hounds).
