What,really? wrote: Well, that certainly renders the Sands more consistent. I wonder whether the laws of magic are more along the lines of "you can't break the laws and have it work out the way you want" (unless you give Nyx cookies, of course). You can't raise the dead and have it work out: they'll just be insane and in agony. You can't travel through time and have it work out: you won't change anything you want to, and from a human perspective events will look very much the same. You can't manufacture love and have it work out: people will just do what you want, without their actual feelings changing (maybe).

It would fit with the idea that (1) magic has a price, so breaking the rules should have the biggest price, as well as that (2) Nyx is in charge of magic, and is actively preventing any attempts at rule-breaking from working out. But sadly it doesn't work that way. Nyx is only in charge of her magical waters.

Jafar did make Anastasia and his father love him and they did make it be like they actually love him. It wasn;t real, but he was okay with that.

Jafar raised the dead, no problem at all.COra raised her heart forcibly ripped out army. You can say that you don't die when you rip out a heart but slowly decay and there's nothing your lifeforce can reside in. Nyx raised Ana  because you can't counteract fate.

This is the reason why changing the past enver truly works out because you can't truly change who people are and you can't change fate.
