Light dragons are much lighter than most dragons. They have crystal-like scales that cause light to distort, and large wings. It has a mane of fine silver hairs, and two large horns. It is an extremely rare dragon that can become invisible in light, and glows brightly in the dark. It covets silver and magical items and will have many of them in its lair. It keeps its hoard within a huge pillar of pure crystal, that holds up its lair, high above the ground. Its lair is a huge mass of crystal that distorts light in strange ways. Without, light dances in strange ways in the day, and the sky lights up with color during the night. Within light beams down upon huge crystals that have burst from the ground and distort the light causing strange areas of extreme light that cause a cumulative 1d8 (+1 per turn in light) fire or cold damage, if you start your turn in it, or move into it. The dragon itself heals 1d12 on its turn in this light. The light dragon does different elemental damage depending on whether it is day (fire) or night (cold).
