No one had to get kissed to break that spell, did they?
Oh, yeah. Everyone comes to you with their problems, you have to solve their disputes, put dwarves in cells, deal with Wicked Witches having a spat with their little sister because mommy didn't love them enough. It's exhausting. It does seem like out of the way would be ideal. Granted I don't think Lily meant to turn into a dragon when she did, but the damage was impressive... and expensive.
