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: Neutrino stream breath weapon
• Level 2: Immunity to radiation
• Level 3: Immunity to pressure
• Level 4: Immunity to viruses
• Level 5: Scale allows bearer to shrink to atomic size
• Level 6: Carbon fiber barrier
• Level 7: Two places at once, once per year (one hour duration)
• Level 8: Open locks at will
• Level 9: Sense radiation
• Level 10: Fundamental bonding
• Level 11: Summon hands
• Level 12: Nuclear explosion

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 control EM, gravity control, irradiate object, coerce, and microscopic vision.
