It's decent. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />But even if there are arcane rules that govern magic, it is quite easy to rule-0 them through the intervention of a higher power, like a deity. Additionally, one can say that the rules are invented and self-imposed by an order of arcane wizards and indoctrinated into their students mainly because it's one known method of making sense of the bewildering potential of magic. The magic itself can still be ruleless. If the arcane order says there's no way X can be done, it doesn't rule out the possibility that some shaman can come out of nowhere and do X. The rules, if any, are arbitrary and don't place any substantial contstraint on the possibilities within a fantasy world. Fantasy, or specifically magic, is unbounded by its nature.</blockquote>
