"Sorry," says the unicorn, "there's a difference between being a dragon and being shaped like a dragon. You changed a dragon's shape but you didn't make her not a dragon anymore, she was just a human-shaped dragon for a little while."

"So being human-shaped is, for example, no refuge from accumulating more Dragonbonds?"

"Yes, exactly," says the unicorn. "And it won't make you stop being Bonded to your Bondmates or anything. You can change a dragon's shape but not their dragon-ness."
