Good point, and I agree completely.  Additionally, the cores would have a 
nearly infinite range as well.  Presumably the hair from one unicorn would 
be different from hair from a different unicorn, and the same could be 
said for dragon heartstring and phoenix feathers.

The brilliant Cerebron, attacking the problem analytically, discovered
three distinct kinds of dragon: the mythical, the chimerical, and the
purely hypothetical.  They were all, one might say, nonexistent, but each
nonexisted in an entirely different way ...
