Yeah, Tom is supposed to be older and more fundamental that the current antic magics of Elves and Wizards. Like an Elemental, except even they are newer than Tom. I see him as different in kind. He can live in the dangerous forest, because it holds no danger to him. If he's dangerous, its like the old Gods are dangerous because they may be capricious. They may squash something because they aren't paying attention to it.
