	*When it came time for [[Creators\|Rob and company]] to design the [[Real World]] dwagon plushies, the total number of colors initially came to seven. Pink, red, blue, purple, green, yellow, and black. [[Rob Balder\|Rob]] didn't really want to make seven different colors of plushie, because it's an odd number and it just felt like way too many for a set. This led Rob to see if he could get away with dropping one color of dwagon. After looking, Rob found that black (dark brown?) dwagons had only appeared once or twice, and never in combat. Furthermore, he thought black material would look bad with the embroidered eyes. A little while later, in the webcomic The Order of the Stick[http://www.giantitp.com/Comics.html], a dramatic story moment occurred: many, many black dragons (not called dwagons in OOTS) from all over the planet were instantly wiped out by a spell. Rob considers OOTS to be sort of Erfworld's godfather comic; this led him to the conclusion that the same spell must have killed off Erfworld's black dwagons. This prompted Rob to Retconjure all black/brown dwagons to purple for the book printing.[http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1554093685/erfworld-motion-comic-project/posts/183910] (Note that nothing was said about Retconning them in the webcomics, and some readers have reported still finding brown/black dwagons in the book.)		*When it came time for [[Creators\|Rob and company]] to design the [[Real World]] dwagon plushies, the total number of colors initially came to seven.

	This school of magic allows past events to be changed to mesh with current needs. It is theorized that only the [[Titans]] have access to the powers of Retconjuration as it is too powerful for a mere mortal to comprehend even its smallest of ramifications. Being a very volatile subject, it is usually avoided in most public forums and viewpoints on the subject differ greatly.
