    The part where you talked about Story World, how the audience should be shown what the rules are, the parameters of that world -- it reminds me of the 1960s TV series, Bewitched. The witch world had rules and parameters.
    Example: Samantha could not remove a spell cast by someone else, like Endora, or Serena...

      Exactly! The audience will buy it as long as the rules are established in the story.
