This is why the wizards are prepared to do quite a lot of free labour in order to be allowed to keep the rest. ;)

You're right, of course.

Alternatively have it turn them into a red dragon of equivalent age to the user (which will likely still be powerful, but in 'just post hatchling' stage), or if you are feeling partciularly generous, both.
I doubt any of the PCs will desire such a huge effect. Being a great red dragon is cool, but it also makes you everyone's target.

Also, a larger number of nifty little items seems to be the sort of thing they like.
