Dragons gain new powers as they accumulate more energies. At each stage of growth, they gain a new ability, usually culminating with the twelfth ability when they accumulate . The usual progression of powers is as follows:

• Level 1: Some sort of breath weapon based on Court
• Level 2: Immunity based on Court
• Level 3: Immunity based on individual preference
• Level 4: Immunity based on complementary Court
• Level 5: Scale grants bearer power based on Court
• Level 6: Barrier power based on Court
• Level 7: Annual power based on Court
• Level 8: Power from complementary Court
• Level 9: Sensory power based on Court
• Level 10: High level power based on Court
• Level 11: Summoning power based on Court
• Level 12: Ultimate power based on Court

All dragons accumulate energies by absorbing them naturally from the area around them. As such, they must carefully cultivate their lairs to provide the right kinds of energies, hence they hoard appropriate objects.

Other common powers include various high level powers based on Court or complementary Court.
