This is interesting. I interpreted that as the dragonewts being unable
to draw "realistic" pictures, i.e. ones
depicting something you can see for real, like people and landscapes.
What do you think in general, are dragonewts unable to draw symbols as well?

Sorry, I'm unclear. These publications are obviously monomythical, and thus probably rather close to the GL version. OK?

OK, if we accept that, I'm still curious as to why the dragonewts are associated with water. It doesn't seem natural. Any good takes on that?
