We could maybe use magic according to the rules of whichever game realm we're in.

Which presents its own range of problems like what happens to a character like Terra were she to enter into a gaming reality without magic. When magic vanished from the world of Final Fantasy VI it nearly killed her. Plus that would also require that each character's particular brand of magic be adapted over and over again to fit the specific system of whatever gaming realm we happen to be in at the time. Which is further complicated by the fact that a good deal of games don't define their brand of magic very specifically. Like the Zelda series, magic is something that sort of exists in the background in certain creatures and artifacts but is never given much consideration in the actual narrative.

It's a good thought but I don't think it would function all that well. Thanks for the suggestion though.
