Dragon Spellcraft
Dragon magic takes four basic forms: combative, defensive,
controlling, and communicative. Most humans are familiar with
a dragon's combative magic, but did you know it can also use its
magic to control the weather, talk to animals, or create icy armor?

Combative Magic
The flashiest magic in a dragon's repertoire is a dragon's combative
spells; The most basic form of combative magic is the breath
weapon, but dragons can also use their magic to cause the earth to
tremble, to summon venomous insects, to drain the strength from
their victims, and to blind their foes.
 And the La within

Defensive Magic
Dragons dislike being injured just as much as humans do.
Luckily, dragons can use elemental magic to protect themselves and
their lairs. Dragons can raise up walls of stone or ice, summon fog
۱ or darkness to cloud their territory, and create a moat of sucking
pon Dragons also use their magic to protect the only thing they
E care about more than their treasure-their own skin. Dragons have 2

 THE MAEKRIX

Dragons have a saying: "Once a maekrix, always

a maekrix” Even after dragons are no longer
apprenticed to their master, they still refer to their
dragon master as maekrix, and the dragon master
~ still refers to them as thurae. While dragons do
not owe their allegiance to their maekrix after
training has been completed, a dragon will not move
against its maekrix unless it has no other choice.

Dragon Magic and You

For humans, there are two basic ways
to learn dragon magic-apprenticing
alt
ORE
UT
38 yourself to a wise wizard dragon or
studying alongside your own dragon
wyrmling at a school for dragon masters.

Become a Dragon Apprentice

A maekrix accepts apprentices in
groups of three called stormshells,
or kepeskashka as they are known in
Draconic. Sometimes a stormshell has
a human apprentice in addition to the
three young dragons. Called a kosjirl,
which is akin to “pet” in Draconic, the
human learns alongside the dragons and
is often jealously guarded by the dragons

Learning from dragons-the very LA Dracenic. i 5 ۲

embodiments of magic themselves-is

not easy. It takes a lot of research to find
a good maekrix and even more to find
one who is willing to accept a human
apprentice. You'll also have to work.
„hard to convince the maekrix that you

to those who have worked hard to earn

the right several times over. Once you
find a maekrix who will accept you, you
will live in the dragon's cavern.
Become a Dragon Master
A dragon master is a dragon's best friend from the moment the
dragon hatches into the world-and thats a big, but rewarding,
responsibility. The only way for a human to become a dragon master
is to become a student at Darastrix Academy for Young Dragons
and Their Wizards.

This school for future dragon masters and their dragons guides
you through the process of figuring out what kind of dragon you
should bond with, what kind of dragon magic you should study,
and ultimately, what specific dragon is best suited to you. Then,
alongside other future dragon masters, you learn how to care
for and hatch your egg, make a lifelong magical bond with your
dragon, and teach your dragon how to best use its innate magic.

Why Apprentice to a Dragon?
Human sorcery is a pale shadow of dragon magic. Flying on wings
of your own, breathing fire, casting spells instinctively and at will
rather than after intensive nightly study, and moving with the
superhuman speed and strength of dragonkind-these are things only
dragon magic can teach you. Apprenticing to a dragon and learning
how to cast magic like one means that after your apprenticeship,
magic will be as natural to you as breathing.

Destined for Dragons

Anyone who thinks that living, playing, and fighting with dragons—
even young ones—is easy should think twice before embarking on
this line of study. However, the rewards are as great as the risk, and
for one destined to learn from dragons, no other path will do.

students of dragon magic select one of the
following three apprenticeships.

Dragon Descendant
Description: Descendants of dragons themselves,
these apprentices learn to tap into the dragon
within and channel raw magic without the
use of human wizard materials, gestures, and
magic words.

Learning
The majority of your time will be spent training with your maekrix
and the rest of the stormshell. When you arent actively learning, you
. will usually be given something to practice outside in the dragon’s
domain. Common assignments are channeling the element of air
to fly as high as you can up into the trees, and collecting a leaf
each time; channeling the element of fire to make a puddle boil;
channeling the element of earth to raise small walls; and channeling
the element of water to make stone turn to mud.

If you are not given an activity, you will likely be assigned research
on ancient dragon magic. While this sounds dry, it is a great honor,
as only those the dragon truly trusts are allowed in its library.
- Humans, provided they are fluent in Draconic as well as Common,
are often chosen for this job, as their size and nimble fingers are
more adept with books than dragon apprentices who have not yet ©
‘learned how to take on the form of humans.
;

Stormshell Train ing

The first phase of an apprentice’s training is very much like
play. The maekrix will present various challenges that can be
completed only by using magic. Then, as the apprentices work to
- overcome the obstacles, the maekrix watches closely to see what
talents its apprentices display. » 全

Capture the Egg

In Capture the Egg, each of the two
stormshells gets a golden egg to hide
in a single area selected jointly by the
maekrixes of the two stormshells. The
stormshells have one day to set up
whatever traps, misdirection, or barriers
they wish around the egg. The goal is
to capture the opposing stormshell's egg
and keep the other team from capturing
your egg. There is no safe territory, and
dragons are allowed to defend their eggs,
making for an action-packed game that
can last weeks.

Blind Dragons Bluff

In Blind Dragons Bluff, the dragons 3
are all blindfolded, save for one dragon ro ate e
on each team, called the *Seer" Then,
large bells are tied around the tails of
the remaining dragons. The Seers' goal
is to "see" for the rest of the dragons in
their stormshell, and to help them claim
all the bells off the opposing team while

make with a maekrix, where the maekrix
promises to teach you dragon magic in
return for gifts or service. The magic
of the agreement forges a lifelong bond
between you and the dragon, just as living
alongside the dragons and learning their
ways will surely do. Anyone who wishes
to learn magic at the foot of a maekrix
must go through the following steps:
 The Research
First, you must decide what kind of dragon you want to apprentice
to. There are many factors to consider when choosing a dragon,
the most important of which is what kind of magic you want to
ur exam le, apprentices
ie T T? Mis learn. Then, you should consider what kind of dragon you prefer.

E The Call
Find somewhere secluded, such as a library. Then, focus all your
will on calling the dragon you want to attract. You will be able to
tell that a dragon is interested when you hear its voice in your head.
Arrange to meet the dragon to finish the bargain in person.

This stage is also sometimes AS Iu. m on an to meet OU, You

You must offer a dragon something of value to get it to partner with

you. Usually this is a treasure for the dragon to add to its hoard, but
some dragons require more—promises of service, lands, or whatever
strikes the dragon’s fancy. Make sure you don’t promise anything
you will regret—or can’t deliver! Even the kindest of dragons will not
forgive someone who breaks a bargain.

The Pledge
The pledge takes place at the dragon's
lair and is part of the ceremony where
you give your gift to the dragon and
the dragon formally accepts you as an
apprentice. Bow when you give your
gift to the dragon, then recite the
standard pledge.

If the dragon accepts you, it will call you

thurae, the dragon word for apprentice.
Then, both dragon and human recite
their promises to the other, setting the
terms of the magical contract. When
both parties are satisfied, they seal
the contract.
 The Results
The moment you seal the pact with the dragon, the treasure
you offered is immediately transferred to the dragon's hoard,
and you are bound by magical contract to do whatever else you
promised, usually with severe consequences should you fail.

The sealing of a dragon pact gives the dragon some of your magical
۱ tract i potential and instills in you some of the dragon's magical abilities,

 Red Dragon Magic
The Charstryx stormshell specializes in fire and earth magic. With
- a slap of their tails, they can make the earth tremble. With a glare
they can make the earth give up the secrets of hidden pathways and
lost treasures, and they can exhale a firestorm. Look closely at a
Charstryx dragon, and you can see the fire in its eyes and flickering
across its scales-an amazing sight that causes most creatures to
stand rooted to the spot, unable to move, or, if able, to run in fear.

The Way to a Red Dragons Heart

You will want to make sure you bring plenty of valuables if you
want to convince Loethar to add you to his stormshell. The best gift
for him may be a gift that allows him to easily find other treasures.

Red dragons eat meat-the more tender, the better. They prefer to
eat young female humans and elves when given the chance, so be
on your toes!
Black Dragon Stormshell: Vutharyx
If you make it past the stinging insects, the vine- and thorn-choked
trees, and the putrid, watery walkways through the Marrowsinge
Swamp, you may just be lucky enough to meet the stormshell
Vutharyx. There, in a den accessible only through the water, the
black dragon Wyvrex makes his home along with three moody and
violentyoung black dragons. Wyvrex has earned a reputation among
dragonkind for his ingenious lair defenses and traps. Humans who
show stubbornness, ingenuity, and a lot of coins to the Vutharyx

by this sullen but effective stormshell.

The Way to a Green Dragons Heart

Green dragons are perhaps the hardest dragons to
bribe, not out of a lack of greed, but because what
they crave most are trophies from past victories.
This means that if you want to cozy up to a
green dragon, you'll have to do a lot of research
on the dragon in question, and then track down
several artifacts from its past victories worthy of
its attention. While less expensive than bribing
other dragons, it is certainly time-consuming!

Brass Dragon Magic

Nature's favored creatures, brass dragons are imbued with the wind
and fire of creation rather than of destruction. The weather itself
reflects their mood. With a simple hiss, a brass dragon can cause a
gust of wind or a gentle breeze, and by whispering a lullaby on that
breeze, a Brass can send anyone it wishes into the deepest slumber.
Their most well-known ability is to exhale a long stream of flame
fierce as any of the red dragons know.
 The Way to a Brass
Dragons Heart
Brass dragons are perhaps the easiest and
least expensive of all dragons to please.
Creatures of nature, brass dragons enjoy
items made from plants: a rare cut of
wood, a finely woven garment made out
of cotton, and a pixie's best flower petal
skirt all are worth more than silver to a
brass dragon.

Keeping food on a brass dragon’s table is

likewise easy, if specific. Collecting dew

Why Bond with
a Dragon?
When dragon masters first start out, they
are just like you and me. But they make a
promise to a dragon that in exchange for
its egg, they will make sure the hatchling
is well cared for, always served fresh
food, taught everything they know, and
given a lot of room to explore the world
and their innate magical talents.

When a wyrmling dragon bonds with

a human, it creates a much stronger
bond than those created between adult
humans and adult dragons. In fact,
the very strongest bonds are created
between hatchlings and young humans
around the age of thirteen. Growing up
together, learning together, exploring
magic together, the dragon and human
quickly become inseparable.

Dragon Master Responsibilities
The-dragon master's responsibilities for his or her charge starts the
moment the dragon breaks free of its shell, and lasts a lifetime.

When the hatchlings exit their shells, they are already as smart as
your average human, just begging to be filled with knowledge of
the world. They are born with the knowledge that they are dragons,
a dominant species. However, as their primary source of care, you
are in a unique position to earn their respect and affection.
You are also responsible for helping them explore their innate
magical talents.

 Caring for Your Dragon
Caring for your dragon means keeping it clean and well fed, and
making sure it has a warm place to sleep at night. Most dragon
masters and dragons find themselves happiest sleeping curled
up together.

While dragons can clean themselves, just like on a cat, there are
some spots that are difficult to reach, and scrubbing your dragon's
scales is an excellent way to bond. Use a sea sponge with strong
soap, a bristle brush and pick for difficult spots, and a rag with
armor polish to really make your dragon gleam! Dragons find the
- process of being bathed both pleasurable and addictive.

Educating Your Dragon

Dragons are intelligent creatures, even having just hatched. At a

school such as Darastrix Academy, you will be taking most of your o
classes together, learning side by side. In some classes, you will even
be doing activities designed to help you and your dragon plumb the
depths of its magic by exposing you both to a variety of challenges
and unique situations. It shouldn't take much effort to coax your
dragon into exploring its abilities-most dragons are just as excited
as humans at the prospect of learning magic. LAST AI: S Th 1

When it comes to selecting a dragon, you don't

2 dragons that have an egg they are looking to bond
with a human call upon Darastrix Academy. The
teachers at the school select candidates for that,
dragon's egg. Then, the young would-be dragon
masters are brought to the dragons to see which
is the best fit.

Helping a hatchling learn how to use magic is an

ucational experience for both dragon and dragon
master. Few humans ever get to see how a dragon learns
to channel their innate power, and the bond a dragon
master shares with his or her dragon allows for an inside
view to the whole process. Dragon masters use their
unique perspectives as human wizards who understand
the Way dragons cast magic to meld the two into
innovative and new forms of magic. If a dragon master
shares a particularly strong bond with his or her dragon,
the pair can even cast spells together that combine the
` best of the human and dragon forms of magic, going
. where no "nam orragon could go before.
