if the magic system is internally consistent in a fantasy novel

Do you find D&D's cast-and-forget system consistent? It was borrowed from Jack Vance's Dying Earth novels, but those felt really weird novels to me.

No! I actually find D&Ds system super-frustrating, but then I hate having luck-based elements in magic systems. :P
