I get that, it would be more logical, but if we're talking about something THAT small, you have to honestly wonder how magical creatures can affect it at all. We need hardware in order to register just how many protons, neutrons and electrons are in an atom. Magical creatures can supposedly feel DE as a form of energy usable as to fuel magic, but also shape it to their will. If it's tangible and large enough to be directly interacted with by a far larger creature it couldn't possibly be that small.

It would be like a titan trying to direct a group of bacteria to do its bidding. (Just trying to reference something with a similar-ISH scale, don't press too hard on this example.)

It would have to be large enough on its own to at least be noticeable by a magic caster. In that respect even an atom would be too small to feel, gather and shape. We humans can't see the individual neutrons of an object with the naked eye, so how would a lilim for example be able to see individual DE particles?
