Area of Effect: Varies
Saving Throw: Special
This actually represents a whole family of spells, as a different spell exists for each type of dragon. Each must be found or researched separately. Further each requires the tooth of its type of dragon, at least adult age, before the spell can be researched or cast.
The spell enables the wizard to unleash a breath weapon up to three times as if the wizard was a dragon of the same sort as once possessed the tooth (once per round, with no actions other than movement allowed). The wizard must have the proper incantation for the type of dragon chosen; different wordings exist for the different dragon types, the most widely known being white, black, green, and blue. Red and copper are hard to find, and the incantations for other dragon types are very rare indeed.
The precise effects of each breath weapon— range, area of effect, and saving throw details— are as given in the charts below. The “age” of the dragon is determined by the wizard’s experience level (see table). For example, a 14th-level wizard (the lowest level at which this spell can be cast) spitting acid as a black dragon inflicts 8d4+4 damage, as if he were a juvenile dragon (age category 4). See individual spells to see the damage it does.
| Caster Level | Dragon Age |
| ------------ | ---------- |
| 14 | 4 |
| 15-17 | 5 |
| 18-20 | 6 |
| 21-23 | 7 |
| 24+ | 8 |
The material component of this powerful spell is the tooth of the dragon breath that you are looking to cast. Any type of teeth will work—even teeth taken from the dragon’s skeletal remains or undead form.
Notes: Rare for alchemists, otherwise very rare. (Updated from DraGoN Magazine.)
