n-dimensional space-time. Toady was a maths teacher, after all.

[Neonivek]

Well by Spherical

I mean replacing good and evil lands with Spherical lands. Or lands ruled by Spheres

I had a topic asking the community what to call it and for some reason "Spherical lands" came out on top (Even more so the "Lands of Power"). Maybe I should start that thread again.

Though Artifact Lands arn't a bad name either.

AHEM.
I think you got that backwards: at least amethyst has the advantage of actually existing.
Anyhow who cares about the real world?

Advantage? The fact that amethyst exists means that the claim is falsifiable. On the other hand, you can't possibly claim to know that unicorn horn doesn't cure poison.

As long as legendary creatures exist in the game, they may as well have (eventually) some special properties or powers that tie in to the original legends.

While I'm at it, bathing in dragonsblood causes your skin to become impenetrable to weapons, and eating the tongue (or was it the heart?) of a dragon grants the ability to understand the language of birds.

Sure, but that is magic and fantasy.
And why would a magical horn be any more likely to be medicinal than a magical mineral?
If your horn (eventually) exists in the game, then it's magical claim becomes just as falsifyable...in-game.
In real-life neither are magical, but that is irrelevant.

You are right about borrowing from existing legend, that has happened in all fantasy settings.
Just don't assume that legends are 'canon' and thus sacred.

peace.

I think it's the tongue that does that.

Eating the heart binds your soul to the dragon's, I believe.

Use the eye as a talisman against evil curses.

 Now I'm wondering of other symptoms can be added, like necrotic tissue and euphoria.

[Neonivek]

Which of course you would have to be brave to even try to eat a dragon's tongue or heart since its blood has often been acidic, poisonous, or both in mythology.

Also Necrotic Tissue? What do you mean? Leprosy? Because I think that is covered by Necrosis.

When I heard of the rotting tissue (aka necrotic tissue), I actually thought of 3rd degree burn wounds since that is dead tissue which has to be removed.

@Time Kitten: There was a movie based on the idea of eating a dragons heart binds you to it. Although in the movie, the guy was given half the dragons heart (as a child I think), so whatever happened to him happens to the dragon and vice versa. I think he was also effectively immortal or something. The title was Dragonheart I believe, and actually a pretty good movie.

What if a dragon eats half of another dragon's heart?
Anomaly anybody?

[Sunday]

What if a dragon's heart is brought to life through magic and forced to eat another dragon's heart?

What if a dragon's heart is cut in half, and half of it is forced to eat the other half?

Mad Dragon Disease

[Sean Mirrsen]

I think it'd be perfectly normal cannibalism. You don't expect anything to happen when an elf eats another, right?

I am really feelin' the love right now, guys.

P.S. I thought eating a dragon's heart made you talk like Sean Connery.  Discuss.

[Neonivek]

Also my mistake. Prion Disease is only common in Mammals

So Elves would get Prion Disease from canibalism and Dragons would be perfectly alright

Though judging by how Elves act they seem to already have it, though I have yet to see any of them die of brain damage.
