-High Mage Fovery: "Dragons are not magi, but they are able to influence the natural world in unique ways. We call these Dragonspells... The dragon left him there until Belazan found him and brought him back to [[:zioth:place:brundash|Brundash]]. But soon he developed pocks on his skin, which didn't go away. He had fever dreams where he overcame horrible monsters using magic. But while the monsters were just figments, the magic was real.

It was a wild creature, twenty feet long from horns to tail, with a wingspan half again as long as its body, wings thin enough to be almost transparent, and lightly feathered at the edges.

It's been done before, people say – I still don't really know if it's possible – but I tried anyway. With a dragon, you have to start with a contest of wills. You don't even need magic, but it helps. You just stare into its lidless, fiery eyes and assert control. Reinath: "You ask the madman for his story, you'll get a mad story.
