Dragon

In the world of "All the Skills" Dragons are the quintessential power of life. They are attributed to be the source of the Cards (even though Scourgelings drop Card Fragments). Their excrement is used to inject life in the Scourgelands - places devoid of life and filled with Scourge.

Dragons are born with one Card in their Hearts - a Core Card, that can not be removed without drastically and permanently harming the Dragon. They can add other Cards into their Heart Decks that can be normally removed with much lesser consequences. Presumably they can not add a Card of higher rarity than their first Card.

Dragons can link their first Card with a Card of a human, that has similar functionality and is of the same rarity. Card that Human linked with the Dragon must be of highest rarity tier that Human posses. If Human bonds a Dragon and then takes into their heart a hirer rarity Card the bond between human and Dragon is broken.

## Colour

* **Silver**: “That’s right. All silvers have a special relationship with magic. Some are attuned to natural magic in the air, some concentrated areas of magic called ley lines, and some focus on magic generated by cards.” Kenzie gestured to Marteen at the last bit. “We see magic,” Marteen added. She seemed content now that Arthur was in her home. “Some dragons see much better than others.”
* **Red**: "That red, Roody, generally have flame-based or transformative magics." / "A ball of flame roared out of the door as if from the throat of a red dragon."
* **Purple**: “Purples have the inborn gifts of flight. They manipulate air so they’re more efficient. Most also have a strong sense of direction. Once a purple knows where the rider wants to go, they’ll know the fastest route through the air currents. Usually, purple hatchlings look for people with speed-based powers to link with their own. That’s why they make great couriers and rescuers.”
* **Orange**: "He rides an orange. ... They don’t go for the destructive/transformative cards like Reds, or the light-based stuff like the yellows. Decan repels people away— like his personality doesn’t do that enough. His dragon is the opposite. Sucks you in." / "And transformation," Arthur added. "That's mostly the oranges," she countered. (Honour\_Rae notes that this is passage has some errors. Orange dragons have powers related to destruction or reconstruction.)
* **Yellow**: "Sams is yellow — light aspect. Why?"
* **Pink**: "An intelligence enhancer or a tactic card..." / "Maybe I should try to link a pink dragon ... meta powers are amazing."
* **Green**: "They have powers over nature." / "Green shimmers have portal powers."
* **Blue**: Blue Dragons have power over water.
* **Brown**: “Not earth type, with all those gemstones?” Brown/Tan dragons
* **White**: "White dragons mess with the mind." / "You'll probably never meet one. They live on the higher levels."

1. ↑ "We may add new cards to our heart deck, as well as secondary and tertiary decks," Sams replied patiently. "But there may be only one card in our core of our being. It is the magic that we dragons are built around. The new card we release into the world upon our deaths. I cannot simply exchange it for another." - Chapter 54
