Liquid metaphysics is when magic is introduced and is most common state of magic seen. the world is more flexible and more things are possible, but still follows consistent rules and limitations. most beings with magic are at this state

Gaseous Metaphysics is high amounts of magic are flying around and the users are godlike, seemingly able make up what they can do with it to a certain extent, but some rooms are still loosely followed, this level metaphysics is often seen with divinities, and other mythical beings.

Plasma Metaphysics is too much magic. Anyone or anything that gets touched by this state instantly disintegrates or is destroyed from magical overload. Often seen by those who absorb too much magic and overloads with power.

and quite simply, different places and things have different magical levels where they enter one metaphysics or another like temperature. this explains why some media break rules that were previously held at climactic moments or whatever, there is so much magic around that it makes the rules too gaseous to apply.
I like this. Too much magic in one spot breaks the universe.
