You know if you followed this setup to its logical conclusion you come to the almost unavoidable realization...
If Jean was a prodigy with Light magic. And Guyra chooses him as his champion. Then you have to conclude that Jean was probably half Demon by some means. It might not sit well with everyone's impressions of Jean, but it would sure put the rest of Jean's story in a better light, or by that I mean it would make a lot more sense.
And I don't think it would be out of character for the series. It's always complex. And every lead character has fallen or met a tragic fate in the following game that includes them. Almost as if once they become an NPC they are shadows of there former selves.
I don't think the series would benefit from adding "Light Dragons" to the mix at all. And so Guyra's experimentation with Light is the only explanation for rare humans being born with Light magic. I know there were light mages in the past, but I think the creation of Demon's would've been long ago too.
(I just want to add that being a Demon or 1/Nth demon doesn't mean you are a bad guy. It just means you have built in light affinity proficiency. Demons could even be forerunners to more modern day humans... My working concept for the Ep.7 is there is a little bit of Demon in all humans, and that is actually how the half-demon character is born. Eg. both of his parents appeared to be full blooded humans, even still their kid clearly not. Not an uncommon occurrence. Also the vampire like ruling Demons do prey on humans, but there reasoning is they won't allow worms to sit on the top of the food chain, and they only drain hot blooded humans to the quick, because they feel that thins the herd, and its the hot blooded ones that make war. They tend to leave the other races alone since they are not warlike and do not bury their dead. I think that's interesting. We take it for granted that nothing preys on us, but its not that unnatural in nature, and I think the elves would relate to it and approve of it)
