"I don't have a translation spell rated for Draconic, more's the pity."

"'Rated for Draconic'?"

"Magic dragon language, very good at having words for things. Won't cough them up if no speakers have the concept though."

"...I don't suppose it can be taught? Or, perhaps, copied?"

"Not taught, copied, uh, maybe, depends how your thing works."

"I don't know how it works with respect to that in particular, and my lack of vocabulary to explain how it works is exactly the problem we're trying to solve. Would you just—understand whatever I was talking about even if you'd never heard of a concept I was referencing before?"

"Not exactly. I'd get some information, not all of it - it'd help though."

"Hmm... Let me see if I can do anything..." He looks at Kaylo more intently.

Kaylo: is a dragon with lots of dragon stuff.

"Say something in Draconic?" he asks, paying attention to the different parts to see whether any of them would move.

Kaylo says something in Draconic. This doesn't actually flicker his magic more than when he says things in other languages, but it does a little.

"Say stuff in other languages now?"

"Several or will just yours do?"

"Do several," he asks, watching for any differences. "And then do some other dragon magic than just talking."

"This is Leraal, this is Alteisec," he switches to his sign language the spell can't handle. He gets out of his chair and turns into an eighteen foot jewel-scaled red winged lizard.

And his magic?

A different bit of it reacts when he shifts.

"Okay, I found the bit of your magic that does languages. Draconic or any other languages seem to be the same, though. Can I touch it?"

"Uh, if you touch it what happens to me and/or my ability to use language?"

"What I expect happens is 'nothing.' With magic from my world, it just does a sort of ping, sometimes depending on what the magic is it can react a bit, and if it's an elementalist blessing they can feel a shiver depending on what it is."

"...but something else might conceivably instead happen. To my ability to use language."

"Yes, it is conceivable that something else might instead happen. If I look at it for long enough I'll be able to figure out whether it will, in fact, happen."

"Fortunately my ability to use language is not going anywhere thank you very much, so you can look at it." He shifts back into human form and plops back into his chair.

Mmhm. He will look.

"You make an impressive dragon."

"Uh, thanks?"
