A soul-forging dragon is so named because of this charm: the ability to forge the souls imprisoned within it into Soulsteel, and use said soulsteel to craft certain devices. A Soul-forging dragon requires access to the stones of the Labyrinth to use this charm, as well as souls imprisoned with in it: If it has access to both these things, then it can produce the following effects:
10 motes of essence, 1 soul - Repair a Health level of damage to itself. This appears as almost magical healing, as plates of bone and soulsteel; are reshaped from the inside, and replacement parts grow over the effected area. This charm only heals 1 health level, and takes 12 hours.
15 motes of essence, 1 soul - Repair a health level of damage on another soul dragon. 'Licking' at the effected wound performs this, the soulsteel repairs being made through the sorcerous effects of the charm, and the soulsteel and bone replacements from the soul that is consumed. This charm heals but a single health level, and takes a full day.
50 motes of essence, 2 willpower, 2 souls, and approximately 2 pounds of jade - Upon consuming the jade, and forging the soulsteel, a Soul-forging dragon may attempt the greatest task of all: the creation of Progeny, of a sort. Taking a full week, the soul-forging dragon may attempt to create an EbonLegionnaire : When the soldier is finished, it will remain within the dragon until the dragon captures another soul, in addition to the two consumed, /specifically/ to empower the legionnaire: if this is done, then instead of the soul being stored within the dragon, it is infused into the Legionnaire, it's mind destroyed and reformed by the mighty magics within: the following turn, the dragon disgorges the legionnaire from it's mouth, fully armed and alert, and loyal to the dragon, and it's creator. A Soul-forging dragon may hold up to 5 Ebon Legionnaires, though each legionnaire stored reduces the number of souls the Dragon may capture by 1: if the dragon holds 2 inactive legionnaires, then, it may only hold 5 captured souls. This allows a Soul-forging dragon, if it has had time to prepare, to rapidly produce reinforcements if suitable fodder is available: given time, they can create an army.
A Soul-forging dragon may not store an empowered legionnaire: this charm can only be used for one purpose at a time, and the essence used is considered committed until the construction is finished (NOT until a legionnaire is empowered.) Thus, while constructing a legionnaire, the Dragon may not heal itself, nor recharge it's essence above 50.
This charm is a property of a Soul dragon, and cannot be learned by an Eclipse or Moonshadow Exalt.
