Akasha

The white, black and “special” dragons rule the center of the circle and balance all the other elements into a cool, even grey tone of Magic. Through invocation of these dragons of light and darkness, the Magic User is able to mix a blend of elements that will bring forth the desired manifestation. Some would scoff at the idea of a Dragon of Light, mixing energies with a Chaos Dragon or any other “darkly aligned” Dragon. Unfortunately, those sceptics are usually Role Players; Gamers if you will. The concept of darkness blending with light makes perfect sense to the experienced magic user, just as the concept of “tough love” makes perfect sense to a psychologist. It is the same concept.
