One-off, rule-breaking, and ability-nerfing or -buffing worlds can be included for esthetic or other reasons if you postulate that there's kind of existential ecology with niches to be filled and worlds as analagous to organisms. I reconciled the Cabal's low mana with a normal mana Secret Masters gameworld by saying that worlds can have immune reactions against foreign matter, and the fourth ream is really Low Mana except that the home grown cabals often are boosted in order to kill and contain incoming magic. Worlds without magic are an atypical reaction, or may have succombed and had their magic over grazed.
