Mystic Dragon Balls

## Overview

The Mystic Dragon Balls are a set of Dragon Balls on Planet Namek that were made by Gastro, the elder of a small village on Namek, and his son Asper. The balls are larger than the ones on Earth, but not quite as big as Porungas, and are a standard set of seven. They were made as a way for Gastro to bond with Asper when he was a child. These Dragon Balls are notable for having several properties that other types of Dragon Balls simply don't have.

## Appearance

The balls have a simple design. They're a shiny silver color with light blue stars on the inside. They always sit upon a stone pillar with Namekian engravings on it, and a dragons head on the base.

## Unique Propeties

### The Mystic Shadow Dragons

Probably the most notable aspect of the Mystic Dragon Balls are the ones who guard them, the Mystic Shadow Dragons. Born alongside the balls, they were an unintentional addition that Gastro and Asper had no idea they would create. When the balls were finished, the 7 Shadow Dragons simply appeared, told the pair that created them that they'd protect the balls from those who were not worthy, and scattered across Planet Namek with them. Why this happened is a mystery, but it prevents the balls from creating Shadow Dragons from negative wish energy, due to these Dragons keeping watch over them and controlling the wish energy inside. To learn more about the dragons themselves, there will be another page linked here that goes into detail on their nature.

### Wishing Power

Unlike a normal set of Dragon Balls, each individual Mystic ball has enough wishing power to make a wish. What this means is that you don't have to collect all 7 in order to make your wish, however, wishes that require more wishing power need more balls. For example, a single ball will allow you to wish for a single item to appear in front of you, but two could give you multiple of that item. It takes 3 balls to wish a person back to life, 4 balls to wish a group of people back to life en masse, and 5 balls if they've been dead for over a year. The amount of balls you use on the wish also directly corelates to the cooldown time on the balls and the size of the Eternal Dragon that comes out. 1 ball has 2 hours of cooldown time, 2 balls takes 2 days, 3 balls takes 2 weeks, 4 balls takes 2 months, 5 balls takes 6 months, 6 balls takes a year and a half, 7 balls takes 3 years. Additionally, if you use only one ball, it won't return to its pedestal after use, but if you use 2 or more, it will return to its pedestal like the normal balls scatter.

## The Eternal Dragon, Fafnir

### Biogragphy

Fafnir is the name of the Eternal Dragon that appears out of the Mystic Dragon Balls, similar to Shenron or Porunga. In universe, its name comes form the Namekian words for "God of Magic." Out of universe, it comes from the dragon of Norse mythology, Fafnir. When summoned from the Mystic Dragon Balls, he will always ask the one who summoned him to state their wish. He has a short temper, and gets grumpy when anyone other than the one who summoned him tries to speak to him, as he doesn't see them as worthy. It is stated by Sorro Shenron that the Mystic Shadow Dragons raised him from a young Baobao.

### Appearance

Fafnir has a similar physical appearance to Slifer the Sky Dragon from Yugioh, being a long light blue serpentine-like dragon with two large mouths stacked on each other, small wings, and several horns going along its head and back. Its size varies depending on how many Mystic Dragon Balls were collected, but its true size is unleashed upon collecting 7, where it's long enough to wrap around the whole planet.

## Wishes Granted

* Sorro Shenron has used the 4 star ball to give Gherkin a consistent supply of chestnuts
* It is implied that each Mystic Shadow Dragon has used their dragon ball to decorate their homes, but this doesn't happen on screen.

## Fafnir's Flat

Fafnirs Flat is the location in which Fafnir is said to reside when he isn't being wished upon. It is apparently inside the Mystic Dragon Balls themselves, and the Mystic Shadow Dragons (Briefly Gherkin as well) also call this place home. The Flat appears as a suburban neighborhood of 7 stone houses atop a landscape made of a pink puffy cloud. There are chestnut trees all over the place due to Sorro Shenron bringing Gherkin to the flat. Upon realizing Gherkin needs food to live, the Shadow Dragon wishes upon his ball for food, and due to them not being able to be more specific, it always brought chestnuts.

Each of the 7 houses in the Flat have a Dragon statue in the front lawn that depicts Fafnir doing something that relates to the Shadow Dragon who lives in the house. For example, Sorro has a statue of Fafnir looking guilty, and Dillu has a statue of Fafnir in an abstract art style. Each house's interior is also special for each Shadow Dragon, and that's where the trials to decide is someone is worthy of wielding a Mystic Dragon Ball is performed.

## Trivia

* The name Mystic Dragon Balls actually has nothing to do with the TPN user Mystic Dragon. Them having similar names is pure coincidence
* Each mystic dragon ball weighs around 10 lbs
* The 1 star ball has several scratch marks on it from Ire Shenron throwing it at the ground in rage when the singular ball fails to make the wish he wants due to it being too weak.
