The reccomended roll for the skill DC check in this You
section is Nature (Intelligence). And you always collect the
bones, horns, wings and scales from the dragon, but if your
harvesting skills are sloppy (failing the skill check), the Adu
materials collected aren't as pristine as a master craftsman
would like them to be. The crafted weapons take a penalty Anci
of -1 to the their weapon modifier, as well as their rarity for the
purpose of magical effects.

magical effect in the crafted wand or staff.

Wings: The wings of a dragon defy any common sense of
natural law. Consider their immense size, it shouldn't be
possible to lift a form as massive as the dragon they bear, and

capable of magic and thus making such flight possible.

uses. Either way, the mouths of those that look upon it usually
touch the floor in awe of its majesty.

Becoming a dragon
One way of beginning the journey to become a dragon is by
crafting a Dragonstone and becoming a half-dragon. To craft
this item you must either find a legendary craftsman or an
ancient dragon that is willing to instill their magic onto you, or
in this case your Dragonstone. These services aren't payed
with gold. They are traded with either a quest to fulfill or a
pact. You will be tested in ways you never imagined were
possible and endure hardships along the way. But this is a
dream many a lad, such as yourself, have had since young age.

dragon’s wings and shines the same shade as the dragon from

resistance to the damage type corresponding to the same dragon.
While wearing this cloak, you may speak the command word to
transform them into a small pair of dragon wings on your back.
They remain in this form for 1 hour or until you speak the
command word again. The wings grant you a fly speed of 60 feet.
Once used, this ability cannot be used again until 1d6 hours
have passed. If after 1 hour you are still in flight using the wings,
their flight magic will stop and you will begin free falling. The cloak
warns you 10 minutes before this happens.
