As dragons accumulate energies as they grow up, taking on different powers. Below are the classifications based on color; these are not cultural or national designations. A dragon can be of any draconic nation and take on any of these colors, depending on the energies it takes on. However, some draconic nations have tendencies toward certain energies (esp. aquatic ones, for instance). Most dragons lock into a color by maturity, but it is possible change later if a sufficient amount of energy is accumulated somehow.

Like all creatures, dragons' powers, abilities, etc. change over time, but theirs is on a greater scale. As they live for up to 100,000 years, they have a different arc than most:

• Egg
• Hatchling: worm stage, usually for about three years
• Adolescent dragon: begins taking on a hue, usually from three to 100
• Mature dragon: locked into hue, usually from about 100 to 1,000
• Senior dragon: greater powers, usually from about 1,000 to 10,000
• Greater dragon: much greater powers, usually from about 10,000 to 25,000
• Elder dragon: some powers decline, some increase, usually from about 25,000 to 50,000
• Ancient dragon: most powers decline, some increase, usually from 50,000 to 99,000
• Epochal dragon: the rare dragon who reaches around 99,000 years of age regains all lost powers and for their last 1,000 years, they are extremely powerful
