Dragon Weave
Among the mightiest beings to ever practice magic, the Dragons have magic coursing through every drop of blood, muscle fiber, and scale. They have access to a subset of the Weave that exists to fuel their lifeforce. A few dragon-kin are able to receive a connection to the Dragon Weave through a complicated and costly ritual. Once Tiamat, the Chromatic Dragon, Bahumat the Platinum Dragon, and Sardior the Ruby Dragon sought to create a race that would serve them as their prideful True Dragons could not. Their efforts left a breach in the Dragon Weave that could never be repaired. Every few millennia a being is born from the dragon-kin that can access the Dragon Weave. (Dragon-kin exclusive: Dracotaur, Dragonborn, Dragonspawn, Half-Dragon)
Spellcasting: Spells cast by one Weaving the Dragon Weave are changed fundamentally. All of your spells are changed in some way. For instance, Mage Hand becomes a scaled claw or whiplike tail.
