Dragonmancy
Overview
Dragonmancy is one of the most powerful forms of magic. All draconian creatures posses some type of elemental ability or magic. True dragons can actually control a specific elemental type.
There are only three ways to obtain this magic.
descendance no more than three generations old. The elven magic becomes far to week at generation four to be able to bond to a dragon. As long as your an anslata elf or descended from one within three generations you have the ability to bond to a dragon, and obtain their elemental magical abilities through that bond.
You will only gain one elemental type from the specific dragon you bond with.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. You are a dragon or of draconian descendance no more than eight generations old. The dragon magic becomes far to week at generation nine to be able to produce the elemental magic. As long as your a dragon or descended from one within eight generations you posses the elemental magic.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. Finally you drink the draconis Potion, drinking this potion will give you a slight chance of becoming a dragonmancer. This potion is only produced by the silver dwarves and no one else knows how to make it. All anyone does know is that the potion contains an enchanted casing enchanted by the Kalsherock but made by the silver dwarves. The potion is mostly made from draconian blood, bone powder, an alcoholic substance, and various other ingredients. Even if another race could replicate another kind of draconis potion it's likely the death rate of consuming it would be higher than the silver dwarves versions.
The potion has an average death rate of 90% very very few survive the taking of this potion and live. As a side note elves have a much higher survival rate, a rate of 60%. Some say this is becuase elves have the ability to bond to a draconic creature which is why thier survival rate is so much higher. Further more if you live you can only take the specific type of potion you drank, for instance if you drank a fire draconis potion you can only have that type. Drinking any other would tear your body apart as it cannot handle that much power. Also you will need to consume that potion once a month or your body will die without it.
Finally these potions are made from almost any draconian creatures other than true dragons. Potions made form pure dragons will 100% kill you, because their magic is far too powerful to consume.

Quote from Professor Pruvost
"Technically all you need is the blood and bone powder of a draconic creature to become a dragonmancer. But that will get you killed for two reasons. One, that mixture is too potent, it'll kill you on the spot when ingested. It needs to be diluted. Second, its really phoxing hard to shove that crap down your throat.
It needs to be in an alcoholic solution that simultaneously binds, and dilutes the solution. Oh and prevent you from getting drunk, the last thing you need is to get drunk while taking this stuff. Then herbs and spices are added for flavor so you can at least die tasting good poison. Then it is dyed to represent the color of the element it will give. I don't know how they do it, but its smart, makes it hard if not impossible to copy. And makes for good marketing. The solution is held in an ornate flask enchanted to keep it ice cold so its preserved for a freaking long time. The flask is also made in an interesting casing and design. Apparently it keeps the solution from being detected from creatures that want to consume it, because of course it does. From what I gather the casing is an alloy made from silver and some maldanite. So its enough maldanite that it won't interfere with the enchantment yet strong enough to mask its magical presence.
It needs to be taken once a month, and if you exert your magical energy too much it will burn out and you will need to drink another vile and wait until it comes back. Oh and one final detail, the blood and bone powder need to specifically come from any draconic creature other than an actual dragon. Dragons blood and bones are too magically potent, they will kill you every time. It's their way of screwing you over after death."
Magic System
To use this magic you need not speak words to summon the magic or study dusty tomes to learn how to use the magic. This magic is a physical extension of your body, this magic uses a combination of mental focus and body movement to manipulate the elements. Dragons for example move their wings, heads, tails, and talons to direct and control the elements. However ancient dragons poses the ability to simply direct the elements using nothing but their thoughts. For the most part a draconmancer or even the average dragon can be stopped from using their magic if they are prevented from moving or flexing any part of their bodies. Furthermore one can only use one of the ten elements to manipulate.
