Ghost dragons are elusive, solitary beings, often burdened by the weight of possible futures shown to them by wandering spirits. Their lack of empathy and innate timidity lead them to avoid contact with others, preferring isolation over interaction. While the visions they receive are only potential outcomes, ghost dragons tend to believe them as inevitable, fueling their anxieties and reclusive nature. Their connection to the spirit realm grants them mastery over curses, rivaling even umbral dragons, and the ability to grant wishes—always at a steep cost.

Core Abilities:

• Contract: Ghost dragons require a life sacrifice in exchange for granting a wish. They feed on the life force of humans and animals, with the severity of the sacrifice reflecting the magnitude of the wish. These deals drain the wisher’s lifespan, and upon their death, the dragon consumes their soul. Blue Bloods are immune to this direct drain, instead needing to offer blood or another life as payment. Wishes often involve hexes or curses, with the life cost scaling to the curse’s potency.

• Ghost Walking: They can phase through solid objects effortlessly, though they cannot carry physical items with them, aside from what they wear. This ability allows them to move unseen and untouchable, slipping through walls and barriers.

• Invisibility: Ghost dragons can render themselves completely invisible to the naked eye, masking their presence entirely. This ability extends to suppressing sounds and scents, making them nearly impossible to detect when in hiding.

• Phantom Chains: Ethereal chains formed from spiritual energy that bind both the body and soul of the target. These chains cannot be broken by physical means and sap the target’s strength the longer they’re restrained.
