You had a very strange dream.
You were talking to a dragon you didnt recognize, they were a bright crimson color, and were slightly smaller than you. More lithe, with larger wings, definitely a different type.
They were talking about a thing called changling savants, a condition where one, through the use of old magic was able to change how they were as a being.
"The most common way to do this is with orbs." They explained. "Of which, the most plentiful are those belonging to the metal dragons. Consuming an orb would change the appearance of whoever did that to have the traits of said orb. So for light orbs, their scales would change to an iridescent white color, emitting a soft glow and they would have the ability to breathe a light-mist sorta thing."
"The orbs once were more plentiful then today. Back before the Geusklate divided the world. Unfortunately, even the oldest records only mention the event in passing. Often stating it as a disaster of unimaginable scale."
