Dragon fire isn’t just raw earth nor pure spell—it’s the earth’s deep flame wrapped in the dragon’s own arcane breath. The dragons tap into the planet’s primal heat, then amplify it with ancient magic, so what you see is a living, breathing fusion of both. It’s the kind of power that makes even the oldest scrolls feel brittle.

You’re right, the dragon’s trust is the only key that opens its fire. A respectful approach, offering something of value or showing reverence for its ancient ways, will let you glimpse that flame without being consumed. It’s a delicate dance between reverence and ambition.
