I am back for my weird WOF headcanons

I feel like it’s weird that Tui has never clarified how exactly Amunism gets passed around. Like it seems like no matter what as long as one of your parents had amunism in their family but at the same time you would think there would be more amuni in the world then like, the four that showed up for Darkstalkers family meeting if the gene has been being passed around by Sea and Nightwings for the past two thousand years and it doesn’t seem like that rare of an occurrence where the gene is present (there is literally a three generation chain between Diamond, Arctic, and Darkstalker). Also I believe Tui confirmed Arctic had siblings so why didn’t they just have kids if the royal family was so desperate for more amuni.

My basic idea of it is that amunism is expressed by a gene that, while typically “dominant” (don’t quote me on this, I am not a genealogy expert) in that it will get passed down, there is a chance that it can be “bred out”. It’s probably like a 2/3 chance that the gene is passed in the first place, and then like a 10% chance out of that 2/3rds that the dragon will actually be an amunis. There can be a spectrum where a group of full siblings can have an amunis, someone who is not amunis themselves but could pass it down to their kids, and then someone who can’t pass down the gene to their kids at all.

Also this applies only to non-expressive carriers. Amuni are guaranteed to pass down the gene to their kids (e.i, any kids Darkstalker and Clearsight or Fathom and Indigo had with each other would have been guaranteed carriers of the gene).

Side note it’s not depicted here but “artificial amuni” like Anenome or Qibil if he took up Darkie’s deal only have one sparkle in their eyes rather than multiple (in addition to their altered pupil). Also ironically Anenome originally did not carry the amunis gene at birth, but gained it after Turtle’s enchantment. Even after Turtle revoked his enchantment, she kept the ability to pass to amunism to any kids she has.
