I have recently learned that taking vitamin D supplements can cause a dip in magnesium, because Mg is used as a cofactor to process the vitamin. Does this apply to a sudden lifestyle change from very little exposure to lots of exposure to sunlight?
(I am asking this as a purely theoretical question about physiology etc, and not as medical advice for myself or others).
Can a rise in sunlight exposure cause magnesium depletion?

That's not quite accurate.
Taking large doses of Vitamin D is the important factor, and it can also lead to hypervitaminosis D and subsequent toxicity and organ damage.
The objective should be to have the right or healthy balance of vitamins and minerals in the body, and if at all possible, get some sun exposure on the skin.
