Oh, I don't have an issue with rules for a specific character or even a specific title. It's rules across the board, about magic itself so that it applies to all books, that I think are too restrictive.
DC made a sort-of attempt at that some years back, when they had Michael Moorcock of all people create a bible for how magic worked in the DC Universe. But there really wasn't much effort to enforce those rules, and I think Keith Giffen was the only writer who ever bothered following them. That kind of rulebook would be the sort of thing I don't want.
