🩸🔥 Substance Name: Pyrosangra
Alias Titles: The Burning Blood, Molten Bloom, Firewine of Ancients
🧪 Description:
Pyrosangra is a thick, radiant liquid that flows like molten honey infused with dragonfire. It glows with shifting hues of crimson and gold and emits gentle heatless steam laced with magic. Often stored in sealed obsidian flasks, it sings in low tones when agitated — the echo of ancestral firebound spirits trapped in each drop.
The scent is a potent mix of scorched spice, old blood, and liquid starlight.
đźš« Why Dragons Under 200 Are Forbidden:
Dragons under 200 years of age (classified as juveniles) are biologically and magically incompatible with Pyrosangra due to the immaturity of key systems:
1. 🫀 Undeveloped Ember Core: Juvenile dragons have not fully formed the internal furnace—known as the Ember Core—required to safely process high-grade magical liquids. Pyrosangra overwhelms this core, leading to:
Violent internal overheating
Spiritual feedback surges
Combustive spasms or internal burns
2. 🤢 Physical Rejection Symptoms:
Severe vomiting, sometimes lasting hours, as the body instinctively tries to purge the volatile essence.
Splitting migraines, often described as "like a soul trying to claw its way out."
Organ strain, especially in the stomach, throat, and heart — minor internal bleeding has been recorded in rare juvenile exposure cases.
Flamestroke, a dangerous state where the flame sacs misfire, causing involuntary breath weapon surges.
3. 🧠Magical Side Effects:
Young minds can't handle the memory echoes in Pyrosangra, which contain ancestral imprints. This causes hallucinations, screaming fits, or soul-dissonance — where the juvenile cannot tell if they are dreaming or awake.
Because of these risks, any dragon under 200 caught with Pyrosangra faces immediate exile or Flamebinding, a magical seal placed over the mouth to prevent further risk.
🧬 Approved Effects for 200+ Aged Dragons:
Flame Awakening: Breath weapon enhancement
Soulfire Resonance: Spirit-sensing and dream-speaking
Ancestral Recall: Memory glimpses of draconic bloodlines
Combat Berserk State: Temporarily increases body mass and flame potency
⚠️ Cultural Enforcement:
Guarded strictly in sacred forges and ritual sanctums
Only allowed to be consumed after passing the Trial of the Fourth Ember, typically held after the 200-year mark
Used in rituals, coronations, or last-stand battles
đź“ś Final Warning Phrase:
"It burns brighter than your years. Let it sleep — or your body will wake in fire, screaming."
