What are you reading where magic has no rules at all? I mean, at the most basic level, a spell is a repeatable experiment. Say some words, wave a wand --> thing happens.

Are we talking about fantasy where omnipotent gods just do random miracles?

Edit: To clarify, my original comment wasn't actually in favor of magic systems where everything is figured out. My favourite version is where people are somewhere along the path of uncovering patterns and linking cause and effect. Maybe ultimately not all of it can be fit into a neat theory. But magic with no room for analytical curiosity is just boring to me.
