The Apprentice said," Long before your stories began," so they never said in the beginnignof the universe.

The Author can't defy the laws of magic. They can pretty much reality warp to some degree, pretty much like the Darkj Curse can.

He could write it differently, but they had to add macguffins so it wouldn't be that easy. He can change the story, but then the Apprentice would go and punish him.

The Author had quite a large power and did seem more powerful, but it was also tied to an object. Just remeber he gives god-like power to a pen and let's people use it. I think Merlin should have had the Apprentice write him out of the tree.

Just remeber that they don't plan ahead specifics so it's all a big plot hole.
