Ah. For my part, I think the rules matter when it comes to consistency. Sure, they're arbitrary, but they're part of the world in which the story takes place. And if you don't intend to follow them, then you shouldn't establish them to begin with.

I do agree that there doesn't need to be an explanation beyond "well magic," but I think "explanation" and "rules" are distinct. I don't need to know how or why dragons exist and can do the things that they do, but if you tell me that dragons can only do X and then suddenly have them do Y, then you'd better be able to clear up the discrepancy.

(Also, I have the feeling that, based on your second paragraph, we actually agree, but that I may just have poorly worded my initial comment)
