On Rules in a Meta Direction: I don’t want to tie Fen magic down with a lot of hard and fast guidelines, because I know that if I do agree to hard lines they’ll a) be in the wrong direction, b) get rules-lawyered to uselessness, c) eventually become obsolete, d) spark dozens of fun-killing arguments or e) all of the above.
