- Additionally, you can focus your senses as an action to magically discern the distance and direction to the closest dragon within 30 miles of you that is of the same type as the armour. This special action can’t be used again until the next dawn.
- While attuned to this item, you can also be attuned to four other dragonkind items using the same attunement slot.
- A dragonologist attuned to a sapphire dragon takes 1 less soul burn when using Dragonologist effects for a blue, bronze or sapphire dragon.
- A waterologist takes 1 less soul burn for craft effects and can manifest both waterology and dragonology at the same time.
- Relic: A dragonkin of a type other than blue gains access to cold and force damage with their energy attack types. A blue dragonkind gains immunity to cold and force damage and their cold and force attacks deal two additional dice of damage.
