Leoht Orbs

Properties

Material Characteristics

The orb is usually a pearl color with tones of the element most associated with the species of dragon. As more magical energy is put into the orb, the more vein like structures seem to appear just below the surface of the orb.

Physical & Chemical Properties

An orb is almost always some variation of warm to melting hot to the touch depending on the magic within. The size of the orb is reflective of the age of the dragon the orb belonged to.

Origin & Source

The Leoht Orb is a magical organ within dragons that is innate to the species from hatching for life. They can be safely removed, however it would greatly damage the magical power of the dragon. There have been some discoveries of multiple orbs within one dragon but the logic to it has not been found. The Orb(s) act as a battery to store magical power and the dragon's body amplifies the magic when it gets released.

Life & Expiration

A Leoht Orb does not lose consistency over time rather over use. The more heavily used for light magical expenditures, the more flexible and almost rubber the orb becomes. The more heavily used for power magical expenditures, the more brittle and worn the orb becomes. The orb itself is still considered stable at all times, instability is only caused in the case of a Leoht Orb being pierced or broken open. The magic within a Leoht Orb seems to store itself without losing potency over time.

Color

The color of each Leoht Orb is dependent on the Dragon's species

Density

The Density of each Leoht Orb is dependent of on the Dragon's propensity towards magic and the accumulation of magic by the Dragon.

Common State

Most commonly found state is still within the living Dragon as the organ that collects and grows the Dragon's magic
