These beings feel that while a bond of some sort might develop, it will not be anything like a true elderling-dragon bond. Why? Because liveships aren't dragons. They're mere shadows. Thus the bond will be a shadow of its true potential.
For Paragon Ludlock to become an Elderling would require a dragon. Either one of the known ones, or perhaps one from one of the lost cases. (the ones washed away by the flood). The charm could indicate that was his purpose in existing, but it could also be something else entirely. Only time will tell, if it ever is uncovered.
Even the human-animal bond of those born with the Wit is a shadow compared to what an Elderling-dragon bond could be. It is a strong bond, but not as powerful. Perhaps it is merely a means for those with Elderling blood to survive in the face of no dragons.
The kennit charm will not be able to bond the way a ship can, simply because it has too little wizardwood in it. It cannot be much more than a simple advisor.
