[Pragmatic]

Moving discussion of avangion over here.

This reflects my hypothesis that avangion metamorphosis was developed by Rajaat as an inherent feature of preserving magic just as dragon metamorphosis is an inherent feature of defiling magic (dragons would, of course, be able to spontaneously develop disadvantages like Paranoia, Bully, Berserk and so forth in order to fuel their transformations...).

So do you see the avangion as the 2E & athas.org "flying bedspread" or the 4E "flying mantis"?
