I can't exactly call myself an expert on the matter (or on anything Fairy Tail related for that matter, but I digress,) but seeing as I was asked to be of some help and break the tie, I shall do my best to do so. So let's see here...

Hmm, coming from past experiences, where I had to work within canon, no excuses at all, I'd say option two is the best course to take. Not only does it help to keep things in canon to some extent, but it also bends the rules to a degree to allow users to be creative and whimsical or whatever. And best of all, it's at the discretion of the ones in power, whom I trust well enough to decide on what course of action is best suited for any given situation. Therefore, why not have the best of both worlds with some extent of control on the matter to boot? After all, if this wasn't reined in enough, then things would go to Hell in a handbasket for sure.

So yeah, that's my thoughts on the matter. Option two, because it's balanced and fair. Hope this helps you guys.
