I dunno how the more dedicated fantasy fans delineate things, but obviously audiences were okay with accepting a world with flying fire-breathing lizards, resurrection in spite of multiple stab wounds, telepathy/telekinesis, ice zombies and Carice van Houten giving birth to a smoke-monster assassin.

If anything they ****ed up by not having more magic involved in some other points as long as they didn't allow them to be obvious deus ex machinas.
