Having played D&D for 12 years, I expect even magic to follow some rules.  Rules lawyer and anal retentive perfectionist for details.

D&D has rules because it's a game, without rules everyone would just overpower everyone else. Real life, and works of fiction, are required to follow none of those rules.

As such fae can do literally whatever they want. They could change the system by which we calculate numbers so that 1 + 1 = tuna fish.

Ralanost:
Yup. It follows rules.

The rule is, "Amber said so" ;-]

I suspect that there is also a rule that Amber can change her mind and therefore change the rules.

Ah no Amber has thoughtout many details so that they make sense.. so no Amber rarely changes her own rules even for magic.  It's just that she is the only one with the rule book... 

The rest can only guess

the only reason they say it's impossible for non-fae is because you have to BE fae to go there yourself. Odds are if a fae is on their way there grabbing onto them while they transport won't take you with them cuz they didn't want you to go with them.

We have seen both Pip and Dan (well, his hand) in what appears to be Mab's corner of the fae realm.  I do, however, like the idea that you can't enter unless the fae says so.

P.S. Can I just say that I'm glad that Kaskar has removed the : explosion from his sig?

[Netrogo]

The getting permission thing makes sense, I just really don't feel there's any specific method to getting others in. Though I wonder what the fae kingdom is like, maybe the true kingdom is designed around the fae's lack of necesities and is just a chaotic magical world.

Jyrras' last line: SIGGED!

Well if you want to piss off your fans you could do that, but it's nice to keep some sort of structure, a method to the madness as it were, otherwise what are they going to put in your wiki article?

[terrycloth]

The fae could probably just think 'I want you to be pancakes' and poof YOU WOULD BE PANCAKES! No reason why, you just would be. Hell it'd probably change your whole history, if your pancake self looked in it's photo album all it's pictures from the past would have been replaced with it getting eaten by different people through history. Yes GETTING eaten yet still being here. Why? Because a fae wanted it to be that way, nothing more.

That reminds of a scene from Sandman (or one of the related side-things) where Delirium ran into Satan's girlfriend in disguise, and cursed her that she'd be a creepy half-faced monster in love with the devil, and she and everyone else would remember that she'd always been that way.

She already *was* a creepy half-faced monster in love with the devil, and always had been. At least, as far as the readers had ever known...

Amber had sanity?

If this is any indication...

Since Amber is the only one with the rule book, how would anybody know if she changed the rules?  Please note that I said that Amber reserves the right to change the rules and you stated that she rarely changes rules (as opposed to never changing rules).  If she rarely changes the rules, it means that you are stating that she can change the rules and are therefore agreeing with me.
