That seems difficult, if I ask a question about magic, without so much as mentioning the other side, and am answered _with specific reference_ to said Otherworlds.

If HQ is set up in such a way that I play common magic (among other things) without such concerns, then fine and dandy. If it's not, then frankly I'll play it without worrying much about them anyway, but it seems a legitimate rules point to ask what cosmological hoops narrators are expected to jump through so to do.
In other words: if HQ presents what's common magic (and what's a feat, etc) in terms of Duck Tests, rather than GL world models, I'll be entirely happy.
Cheers,
Alex.
