Quote:Well that's rather limiting... So ALL fiction should be like that?
Magic systems, you mean (DJ, QUOTES! They are your friend! And are very easy to use!)? No. You don't understand at all, which is understandable given that you haven't read any of the books in question... it's not hard to make a magic system make sense and be believable by any standards. Now, I would say that not everything needs a perfect definition of their world's magic... so many things do not have much of a definition that I'm quite used to that. I'm just saying that when it's there, it's well appreciated and definitely makes the world in question feel more realistic and 'possible'. Just like a good explanation of hyperspace in a scifi show, for instance. :)
Quote:And um, this "law" doesn't specify any limits. It's not properly constructed to be a law. Nothing is defined.
It's just one sentence, how much can you expect?
