Cross Dragon Abilities (Spoilers)

[Tyson.5160]

Ever since Heart of Thorns/Season 3, we have learned that the dragons can absorb each others magical spectrums of other deceased dragons. I'm curious on what these spectrums will look like in the future of End of Dragons and the Deep Sea Dragon. Now that Primordus and Jormag are dead, we now have a dragon who has all the other spectrums, (Death, Shadow)Zhaitan, (Mind, Plant) Mordremoth, (Crystal, Fury) Kralkatorrik and our recently deceased dragons (Ice, Persuasion) Jormag and (Fire, Conflagration) Primordus.

 

Once Zhaitan died, the other dragons had access to the death and shadow spectrum. Hard to say if there was more death then shadow in the magical pool of energy, since one was a primary (Death) magical spectrum and the other is secondary(Shadow).

 

Mordremoth was able to take these two spectrums and used death magic to make Mordrem from dead corpses, while he appeared to use the Shadow spectrum with the Shadow of the Dragon(based on his Shadow abilities), as well as in the final battle in Heart of Thorns in the mindscape.

 

When Primordus consumed Zhaitan and Mordremoth's energy, he was able to create Death Touch Destroyers from Zhaitan and Vine Touched Destroyers from Mordremoth. Primordus was also able to create Rotting destroyers, however its unknown if this is the shadow spectrum or not.

 

Jormag also received magic from Zhaitan and Mordremoth, however being further away from the magical fall out, only received a small portion of the energy. That being said, Jormag made a single Icebrood with both Death and Plant magic, possibly experimenting for a future, where Jormag kills Primordus, and has access to his energy? Jormag is also shown using the Persuasion domain in Icebrood Saga.

 

Kralkatorrik on the other other hand was able to create Death-Branded from from Zhaitan's energy, as well as was able to augment his Branded with the Mind Spectrum of Mordremoth, allowing a further enhanced hive mind. Kralkatorrik also gained the Balthazar's magical ability to travel into the Mists.

 

Now coming to the Icebrood Saga, we learn that while both Jormag and Primordus have been a sleep, they have been able to process these foreign magics. Rather then making Death Brood for minions, Jormag is able to manipulate dead bodies and speak through, as seen from Almorra and the Fraenir. We don't see Jormag use any plant spectrum abilities, however perhaps Jormag has taken advantage of the mind spectrum from Mordremoth? Jormag has also gained the ability to Mist travel, either from Balthazar's orignal death or through absorbing Kralkatorrik's magic. Jormag also has gained a new ability to create Frozen, which I suspect is a property of the Crystal Spectrum.

 

Primordus no longer creates death or vine touched destroyers, however has gained the ability of creating a feedback loop, which came from absorbing Kralkatorrrik's energy. The feedback loop allows the destroyers to burn, which causes Primordus to get stronger, which then it turn makes the destroyers rabid and the cycle repeats. Since the destroyers become more rabid with this feedback loop, this could be an example of the Fury Spectrum, as well as showing a possible trait of Primordus Conflagration spectrum of growing stronger through destruction.

 

Since the end of Icebrood Saga, the Deep Sea Dragon, in theory now has access to all of the above magical domains from all the previous dragons.
