I'm Curious, What Would Happen If An Eggeater Ate A Shadetouched Egg

i'm curious, what would happen if an eggeater ate a shadetouched egg

would they just die or does something happen

The Shade is described as something that feeds on magical energy, which I assume is an effect that can spread via touch. Now, it's fair to assume that consuming a Shade Touched Egg would drain the dragon of it's magic entirely, but the question is this:

What happens to a dragon when it loses its magic?

I've been describing their magic as a personal energy signature, unique to them. Much like an aura, but with the perk of granting elemental powers like breath and blast weapons.

If their magic is simply a reflection of their spirit, then the dragon would only lose their elemental abilities(and perhaps be controlled by the shade). But if their spirit and magic are more closely intertwined, it could fundamentally change a dragon, right down to their core. I imagine taking away something so vital, so inherent within creatures that were quite literally born of it, would have severe negative effects.

Sure they could die, and it would make sense. But I believe it would make the shade more of a threat if it could permanently damage the dragon's soul by stealing their magic and leaving them alive, but deeply incomplete. Simply dying happens if a dragon eats the wrong plant, but carving up something so deeply fundamental that should be untouchable? Yeah, I'd be threatened by the shade too!

(Of course this is just me spitballing ideas around haha)

I have a feeling this soul=magic concept can somehow tie into emperor dragons like luminax, too, but I haven't thought that far into it. Perhaps later?

Thanks for the spooky ask!

I’ve received a complaint that people have been spamming/attacking the DramaRising blog, which is NOT GOOD! 

  My work is meant to entertain, never to harm. So I’m making this post to help direct any negative attention back towards me and not the DR owners(who haven’t done anything wrong!)

Please know: 

I’m 100% alright with the controversy surrounding my lore and the polarization it entails. It’s impossible to be everyone’s cup of tea, and as an artist I’m already prepared to run into aggressive individuals who wish to do harm or stir the pot. Trouble is always a possibility in this field, and that’s ok. However, any fallout that happens as a result should be suffered only by me, and not fall upon an innocent person who has done nothing. 

Please, please, please, do not attack others for my sake. If someone acts aggressive towards me, or seeks to do harm, I’ll do what I can to reach out and find a compromise through the proper channels. 

Your support has been astounding, and I’m extremely grateful to have such a passionate audience who’s willing to stick up for me and my work. You guys are truly wonderful! You’ve helped me thrive in ways I never imagined! But there’s no need to go on the attack. Put your faith in me to resolve these kinds of issues, and I’ll do my best to do so swiftly and peacefully!

DR anon is most likely lying to be hurtful. I don’t think staff usually bans immediately for rule breaking profile content (unless it’s just egregiously inappropriate) - they usually just clear the profiles and give you a warning. As everything is still intact and you have the actual reason for banning, plus have been communicating with them regarding the issue, I very much doubt your lore was a problem. Good luck getting everything back!

Well, I guess not everyone is going to be a kind person, so this makes sense that it's probably faked. I'm just going to focus on expanding the lore until I (hopefully) can recover my account. Thanks for letting me know!

And thank you! I hope so as well.

They replied! Hooray!

I don’t want to count my chickens before they’re hatched, so I won’t make a call yet. But, yes they did answer back and we are working towards a fix. We’ll see how this goes! 

To all those waiting on answers to your lore questions and submissions(a few of which have me thinkin overtime haha), thank you for being patient. This new development has taken precedent,  but I’ll be getting back into the swing of things in the coming days. 

Stay frosty, my friends^^

I hope you enjoy egg-eater submissions. This here is Wiedii

I'm not sure if he really counts, because I made him before I found this blog! But Wiedii turned to eggs in desperation... He hatched to an abandoned nest, one egg already hatch and one growing cold beside him. A hatchling can't hunt for his food, so after hours of crying... He broke open the cold egg beside him. It has no special powers, but it is addictive. He had no one to teach him it was wrong, so he joined a ragtag group of orphans who all relied on stealing eggs to live. When he grew up, he attempted to stop, but the withdrawals were too painful to endure on his own. He doesn't know it, but he has a brother out there, a knight. He was born to a royal mom and a stable hand father, and they were nearly found out, so they took the first hatchling and went their separate day. He has a lot of love to give, he wants to be a healer, but there's no doubt if his brother ever met him he would slaughter him as an abomination.

HYPERGRYPH: You kidding?? All egg eaters count! It's pretty cool to see characters with the same theme created independently from my own concept, and all the unique differences that come with it. It's a genuine pleasure to see all that tasty tasty creativity^^

Now as for Wiedii:

You're truly going for the literature definition of tragedy, aren't you? My heart breaks for all the - 'what could have been'-s that are in his story, especially considering his predicament was very circumstantial. If only his parents had taken their entire clutch...if only he had found a healthier group to take him in...

I generally categorize Egg Eaters into two groups: {those who choose egg eating out of immense personal selfishness, and those who are forced into it via means out of their control.} Wiedii feels like one of the more innocent characters. Being a hatchling, he was acting as any other hungry animal would (and very much do) act. And seeing as morality is cultural and must be taught, it's not like one could blame him for his childhood. Now he's dealing with consequences of actions he didn't know were wrong.

That doesn't absolve him of his crimes after he learns the weight of his actions, but it does make him far more sympathetic.

On God...and his brother being a knight? He's the perfect foil. One raised with nothing and no one, without morals, who wants to change his ways; The other raised with the support of a loving family and who adheres strictly to a set code of morals. I can already see a Shakespearian tragedy scene where Wiedii is mortally wounded by his brother, but by some means the truth comes out to both of them(perhaps from their parents). I imagine the parents would be grief-stricken after learning that one of their abandoned eggs had survived, and coming to terms that they had failed one of their children. That, and the brother learns that life isn't a black and white set of codes in the most gut-wrenching of ways. What a way to shatter a worldview.

I hope he finds the strength to overcome his flaws and become a force for good. A healer is a great ambition, and who doesn't love a happy ending??

Thank you for sharing your character, he's definitely one of my favorite submissions so far!
