People are talking about trying to make their DND worlds conform to fit real world logic and what not. Meanwhile I’m trying to figure out how to stat out this monstrosity into my game just because.

I have no idea what the hell that is but put it on the table and I'll take a swing at it...

"Real World Logic" at my tables extends to not putting an enormous dragon in a 10x10 room without a slightly more specific explanation than "because...magic." And not a hell of a lot further. Logic and verisimilitude are used to service and enable the extraordinary, not to limit it.

Exactly. Verisimilitude grounds the magical...making it recognizable as magical. Otherwise you end up with mundane magic. Everything's magic, therefore nothing's magical.
