There is an "outside/external" in this answer, but it's not the bread!

Alchemy is kind of distantly related to the meaning of crucible!

Variety and imagination are incorrect!

XD

(Also I might as well note that the baby is being used for a meaning closer to 'people' than 'person', although the alethiometer's interaction with plurals does tend to be a little chancy.

daemon body made-of Dust daemon magic outside/external part/aspect person

Daemon bodies are made of Dust; they are magical externalizations of a part/aspect of people.
