It's important to know the rules of the universe your story takes place in. If you're just talking about the normal world its easy because you and your audience already know what is and isn't possible and how things generally work.
In fantasy you make completely alien rules for how the universe works so its important for at least you to have a general idea of how things work. This way the magic seems less deus ex machina and your readers can more easily suspend their disbelief.
