Summary
Narrative causality is one of the most powerful forces governing reality on the Disc. The others are gravity, the strong and weak thaumic forces, and whichever of the Fate/Lady duo is currently on top; all of these are trumped by the sheer force of narrative causality swinging into play when a situation arises that invokes it with sufficient clarity. Murphy’s Law dictates that anything which can go wrong will go wrong, but on the Disc this is rewritten to state “anything which can go wrong in such a way as to fulfill the dictates of narrative convention is absolutely guaranteed to do so and, if prevented from going wrong, creates a paradox loop in the fabric of reality which will inevitably destabilize matters to the point of forcing the original thing to go wrong anyway, so you might as well just run with it.”
