Heh. I could work with that.
Strictly speaking, it's not "beyond" canon so much as "much earlier", in my opinion. It seems pretty obvious to me that both Serenties are powerful generalist sorceresses. Whether that's all personal ability or the effect of the Ginzuishou in whole or part is open for debate, but all Doug's doing is pointing her in that direction and gently guiding/prodding her well before she would have otherwise gone that way.
