[That is a very sharp line of questioning. Rue can't help the little swell of pride they feel for him in this moment.]
Forgive me if this is more information than you need, but fae magic works more differently than the magic that mortals use from my understanding.
[Rue shoots their son a soft, apologetic glance, before continuing on.]
In Faerie, there is only one pool of magic to be used among all fae beings there. However, some fae have lost all ability to use magic - such as the goblins - and other courts have had their magic unjustly taken from them. Speaking plainly, there should be more than enough magic for everyone to take from the pool equally, but some greedier courts have made it their mission to own more than their share.
So, in quite the roundabout answer, no, you should not have to be cautious of crossing a line. As long as the magic is flowing to you and you are not pushing yourself physically, you should be able to push to your limit. The only time we'd need to be worried is if both of us felt disconnected from the magic completely.
