Wizards are like Batman. They can defeat anything with enough prep time.

The odd thing is that the rules actually support that. Long-term thaumaturgy is extremely powerful.

Yeah, Jim/Harry state all the time, that wizards can do about anything. The Catch being enough time and preparation to pull it off.  And many times states that a wizard caught off guard is no better off than a vanilla mortal. Yeah, a senior council member could be shanked by a mortal if (s)he's caught off guard.

Also remember the power of plot.  Michael easly could have been channelling MICHAEL.....  And when that happens the heavens tremble  ;D.  Oops my mistake that would be if he was channelling Gabriel The Trumpeter not the Lord of the Hosts.

Regardless there is not much can stand up to that.....

I'd point out that the only character half D-Dragon we know of is Drakul. The dude who Jim said could take Mab in a fight. The one who sired a man who became a Black Court Elder. Kincaid served him for centuries. I'm not sure big D Dragons and their kin (or any of that power level) fit, unless they are young (My Son of Odin character is 17, and he'll still kick your ass) or have been weakened.
Don't make me drop a turkey on you...

Dragons strike me as the kind of creatures that might be very territorial. It might be one of those take care of them till they're old enough to compete with you then try to kill them/run them out of your territory. In that case they might have an interesting view towards any offspring.

Had a thought a while back that Dragons specific interest in the mortal realm was as a nesting site, like those beaches that seaturtles return to years after they themselves hatch. I then figured that the never-never/"outside" might be the ocean.
