Of course, this wraps it up brilliantly - it's a fantasy world, so
anything goes. Problems arise when game creators try to do things with
less use of "magic" as a frivolous excuse for "anything goes". Tieing
dragons to one elemental, and making them literally part of it is one good
way to go, plus the more "scientifically understandable" way seems mildly
popular, too. However you do it, they're still big, mean, and generally
unpleasant if you upset them. ;)
