I don't know about anybody else, but I rarely consider anything
that came out of a novel canon, even if it came from the DLOH. It's
fiction, and authors tend to take poetic license with the history, or just
forget about the mechanics in the necessary rush to finish writing and
editing their work. Look at the stir after Tom Dowd had a
projecting mage unable to move astrally through a wooden door not
because it was living but because it had *once* been alive. Hell, if that
were the case, mages would always be wearing polyester and nylon clothes
because wool and cotton fabrics would trap them in their bodies. Clearly
it was something that either got missed, or was done to further the
storyline.
Someone has already posted about an author whose response was
"whoops" after having a character goblinize into a dwarf. Perhaps this
book is it? Having not read "Changeling" I cannot say.
