Traits

Default to: Metal

Large, curved, movable scales that project from the same area and loosely resemble wings.

They are created by a unique magnetic field around the dragon. This same magnetic field will allow some wings to float off of the body. Scythe Wings will start at the shoulders and the blades may float down to above the hip bones. No matter where they are, they will angle towards the shoulders, even if very slightly. The entire scale may also be spiraled. They are a solid material and are sharp enough to be used as their namesake; they usually appear bright and reflective, but some dragons may keep their blades dull. You may depict them with metal-like shading even without the Sheen trait. Scythe “wings” do not aid in flight, rendering dragons with scythe wings flightless. They will angle towards the shoulders, rather than down the back as spines.

Interactions

• Scalestain - You may use Scalestain to add extensions or unnatural shape to the wings, as well as additional points, as long as it's within the item's usual range.
• Skittertint - You may add an extra color to the gradient of the wings. You may use multiple Skittertints for multiple extra colors. You may alternatively use Skittertint to make mis-matched wings, where one wing is pink and the other silver, for example. Mis-matched wings do not need to be symmetrical. Any number of blades may be affected by one Skittertint, as long as they are the same color.
  
• Loremark - You may use Loremark as usual on the wings.
  
• Tattered - You may use Tattered to create random holes and chips in the wings. Most of the damage will be on the edge of the wing.
• Surgical Kit - Surgical Kit has no effect on Artificial Wings.
  
• Transparent Skin - Transparent Skin will not affect Scythe Wings.
  
• Pollen - Pollen affects wings normally, hiding any marking that would be in the area. Optionally, you may make shiny wings dull in areas that Pollen touches.
  

Unless the dragon has Mythic Wings, Mythic Body, or the Multi-winged mutation, wings will always attach on the back of the dragon, somewhere between the neck and tail and above the legs.
