"As GM, you'll see the players combine magical items and effects in ways that you've anticipated, and ways that you haven't.

If the players honestly think a certain result is 'what would happen', unless you have conclusive knowledge otherwise, go with it. For fuzzy cases, the rule of thumb is that magical items do interact; 'nothing happens' should only result when nothing else could make sense."
I'll second this being brilliant. I wish I could send this paragraph back in time to every Right to Dream GM I've ever played with.
Before I read this paragraph I was right along with Vincent going "Pssh. I don't REALLY solve problems, the GM solves it for me and I go along with it."
