Traits

Forged creates a smooth or gradient part on a dragon's marking. Additionally, it can appear like the mark is dripping. This can affect the edge and/or interior of the mark. If the dragon has no markings,it will appear on a free mark. This trait only affects one marking.

Color Rules

This trait does not apply any colors of its own.

Layering Rules

This trait is on the same layer as the trait it affects.

Shape

This trait is the same shape as the marking it affects. However, it can make that shape appear melted, fading out, or soft-edged instead of its usual edge. Even if a marking is required to have a hard edge, you may change it to have a soft edge, melted edge, or gradient fade out. When applying an inner softness to the marking, changing the edge of the mark is optional. It does not need to affect the entire mark. Small parts of the mark can go out of range when the edge is affected by Forged.

Interactions

• Splotched - When Forged and Splotched are used on the same trait, they can create a watercolor-like edge.
• If the dragon has a soft-edged mark anywhere, then showing Forged in another way is optional.

Charged Forged

Charged Forged may affect any number of markings, as long as the minimum of one is met.
