First, this would require an omniscient intelligence to determine which
laws are in effect and which are being "made up for" with magic. What is
this omniscient intelligence, and why is it mucking about with the fabric
of the Universe?
Second, if magic can make up for one physical law, then magic should, in
theory, be able to make up for all of them. Now, go back and re-read my
first point and see where it takes you.
