Dragon Realms
Dragons are magical creatures and may choose to learn a particular
branch of dragon magic. Dragons do not need spellbooks to cast spells
or learn powers; instead, they simply gain spells as they mature. Each
realm of dragon magic has a direct impact on the player's stats and
skills, and each realm also requires a different stat for casting
purposes.
Lore
Dragons specializing in lore are seekers of knowledge. They are the
most intelligent of dragonkind, and it is intellect that drives their
magic. Armed with a vast array of detection and knowledge spells,
dragons of lore seek power through knowledge. They eventually gain
powers of telepathy and automatic object identification. Lore dragons
are quick learners, and gain maturity much more rapidly than the rest
of their kind.

Breath
Dragon breath is the stuff of legends, and this realm seeks to enhance
this most powerful attribute of dragonkind. With this speciality, you
will be able to shape and control your breaths to maximize deadliness
for a given situation. In addition, dragons of this realm may choose
their breath types if applicable, and breathing becomes less costly as
they mature. This focus requires great fortitude to master and somewhat
diminishes the dragon's defenses and melee.

Attack
Attack dragons seek melee supremacy above all else. This realm offers
powerful attack spells to support a race that is already among the
melee elite, and the result tends to be devastation and death. With
this realm, the dragon may rend their opponents with extra sharp claws,
may snatch an adjacent opponent in their powerful jaws and then toss
them about like a rag doll, and may even augment their bite attacks
with their breath element! A rampaging dragon is a truly awe-inspiring
sight, one that is seldom witnessed, or perhaps just seldom survived.
This focus values strength above all else.

Craft
The most powerful magical items have long been believed forged by
dragonflame. The craft dragon gains powers of enchantment, and may even
reforge artifacts into the objects of their choosing! Otherwise, craft
dragons are not particularly powerful, as they trade melee and breath
prowess for magical understanding. This focus requires great wisdom.

Armor
Dragon scales have thwarted many a would-be dragonslayer. Naturally
tough and resistant, the dragon's armor is even further enhanced by
this realm. This specialization gives enhanced armor class, reflection,
resistance to cuts and stunning, resistance to poison and life
draining, and sustaining of several key stats, albeit not all at once.
With all of these extra innate bonuses, the magic spells of this realm
are few in number but serve to offer temporary defensive augmentations.
Unlike their kin, dragons of this order prize agility above all else.

Domination
All dragons have a formidable presence and make fearsome opponents; but
Domination dragons are truly a breed apart, seeking to bend and control
the will of all they meet. Convinced of their right to rule, these
dragons may subjugate the weak, terrify the uncertain, and stun the
unwary with their awesome presence. They are the best dragons at
controlling minions, and can summon mighty aid. Initially hostile
monsters summoned to battle may switch sides when they notice whom they
have been commanded to fight; and in the end, the dragon of domination
may sever all oaths of allegiance, returning enemy summons to where
they came from. Needless to say, dragons of this order value force of
will above all else.

Crusade
Crusade dragons are on a mission to destroy the forces of evil. As
such, this realm is only available to Gold Dragons and Law Dragons.
Being of a single focus, the Crusade dragon is not as powerful in melee
or breaths as other dragons, but their spells more than make up for
this deficit, at least against evil opponents. Crusade dragons can
breathe holy elements not normally accessible. At the sight of evil,
they become enraged and may haste for battle. They can even heal a bit;
and ultimately they may smite the forces of evil with holy power, both
in melee and in breath. Strong in personality, dragons of this order
may summon like-minded kin for the final battles.

Death
Death dragons are enemies of life itself, seeking to destroy all living
creatures. With this realm, the dragon may bend their breath weapon to
suit their necromantic desires, eventually breathing mastery over both
death and life. At high levels, the death dragon's melee attacks gain a
powerful draining effect against living creatures. This focus values
strength above all else. This foul realm is only available to Shadow
and Chaos dragons.
