Young Cloud Dragon

Cloud dragons are the primal dragons of sky and mist. Long, long ago, in the days before folks wrote things down with any sort of consistency, cloud dragons might have been visitors to Golarion, hailing first from the endless air beyond reality. If so, they've settled in quite comfortably. Cloud dragons dwell in the high places of the world, nesting atop the peaks of mountains or the tallest of trees of alpine forests. They revel in flight even more than other dragons, and fly higher than most any of their kin, to the places where the air grows thin and the sky takes on the shades of night. They travel often and journey far.

Dragons come in myriad forms, with many having magical abilities or connections to magic. Some dragons draw greater power from magic than others, allowing them to manifest abilities or alter their physiques with prolonged exposure to magic. These dragons become more powerful as they age and strengthen their connections with their magical origins. Scholars debate the classification of these dragons, with some preferring the name magical dragons and others using traditional dragons due to their connection to specific magical traditions. Regardless of their names, these dragons share a number of characteristics: their ability to tap into magical energies, intensified might and cunning as they grow older, and an inclination to hoard vast amounts of treasure and wealth.

Draconic Spellcasters

Each dragon features a sidebar on spellcasting dragons of that type. To make a dragon spellcaster, remove the dragon's Draconic Frenzy and Draconic Momentum abilities, and give them the spells outlined in their sidebar. You can swap out any number of these with other spells, provided you keep the same number of spells for each rank. You might also want to increase the dragon's Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma modifier by 1 or 2 to reflect their mastery of magic.
