One shaman does it and that rules out the novels as "canon?"
This could never be a learned skill, or a total fluke?
Or a spurious magical skill unique to that individual?

I'm not convinced, but I don't expect to be.
You have your opinion, I have mine, I'm content with the way my world is.
I don't want to drag this out into a huge discussion, I just have never
seen a convincing example of a TOTAL impossibility that would rule out all
the novels as "canon."
