All the dragons we've seen so far are at the toddler stage of their life cycle.

If a Symbol were to somehow find themselves on Demesne, they wouldn't be able to make a core or claim an existing one, because Symbolism has no mechanism for claiming and binding external forms of magic.

Thaumaturgists and Flames would be able to form cores.

Ghosts cannot normally form on the planet of Demesne, because either the Iridescence latches on to them and they suffer the same fate as unattended magic, or the core basically eats them for magic before they can metaphorically solidify. If a fully formed ghost or spirit somehow find themselves on Demesne, they'd be able to exist within a demesne but would need an external source of magic because they'd basically be in a desert. If they find themselves outside of a demesne, it's a slow cessation of existence to the spiritual equivalent of full-body flesh-eating bacteria. The only way you'd get a ghost is to stuff someone inside a airtight glass box inside the demesne and push them out into the colors before they die. The ghost could potentially form inside the safety of the glass. Another way for a ghost of spirit to survive is to be haunting an object made of glass, like a bottle of amontillado.

If Lori's parents had gotten another baby while she was still young, she'd have absolutely doted on the kid, spoiled them rotten, and would have been totally devoted to being the best big sister ever. This would have led to her mellowing out a bit, and when her younger sibling started making friends, she'd have been right there with them, and she would have ended up socializing with the kids younger than her. She'd have become the default babysitter to her younger sibling's friend group, and would have been the cool, stern but kind older sister to all of them, finally letting her have friends who understood her, and she'd never have run off to be a Dungeon Binder. She'd have followed her moms in working at the bank, become one of the bank's in-house security wizards, and become some kind of magicpunk corpo enforcer, possibly with a gun that acts as a focus for a railgun binding. Even odds she dies from getting pushed in front of a train...

Rain is not an isekai. That would be wrong. And very silly.

Hey, I was just rereading Demesne when this notification popped up. Back up to the construction of the Um.

Does this mean Demesne will return?

That was always the plan, I just want to finish my current project so I'll have one less story flapping in the wind.

Love me some dragon facts

Someone asked what the difference was between baby dragons and toddler dragons: Baby dragons just flop around, look cute and make funny noises. Toddler dragons can crawl, and like to pick things up, put them in their mouths, bang things together, drop shit everywhere, get their slobber on everything, and don't understand the concept of 'don't touch'.

"and become some kind of magicpunk corpo enforcer, possibly with a gun that acts as a focus for a railgun binding" why must you taunt us with the knowledge of what could have been... Also Rain is basically the protagonist of a villainess otome isekai, she has the memories of a girl from a different universe inside her head!
