Dragonstone
| ||||
|
A Dragonstone (Japanese: 竜石 Dragon Stone) is, in a broader sense, an item belonging to a manakete in which their power is stored while they are in their human guise. With their dragonstone, a manakete can draw on its contained energies and resume their dragon form for a limited time, usually performed for combat purposes; usually a dragonstone is to be used somewhat conservatively as its use can drain the power of the manakete in question, particularly younger ones.[1] Dragonstones can also be used in human weapons to imbue them with immense power, such as the holy weapons of the Twelve Crusaders and the Falchion; however, this practice is rare, use of these weapons is primarily restricted to those who have undergone blood rites with the dragonstone's owner, and this poses a risk to the human wielder's will being overridden with that of the dragon.[2]
Typically, dragonstones are divided into multiple varieties depending on the dragon breed to whom the stone in question originally belonged: Firestones, Icestones and Divinestones, among others. Generally a manakete cannot use a stone from outside its tribe, the excepton being divine dragons, which, as demonstrated by Tiki and Nagi, can use stones from seemingly any other tribe. In the majority of games featuring manaketes, dragonstones are subdivided into between two and four varieties; however, in The Sacred Stones and Awakening, there is only a single kind of dragonstone (not counting enhanced varieties of this kind) to be used by all manakete present in the game. This page's statistical information is concerned with the Dragonstone item present in these two games.

- ↑ "Q: How do the Holy Weapons work?"
"A: The dragon tribe has the ability to transfer their power and will into dragon stones (what humans refer to as orbs). The Falchion from Mystery of the Emblem and powerful magic like Aura, as well as the orbs on the 13 Holy Weapons of Jugdral, are all dragon stones. Humans can obtain tremendous strength from these dragon stones, but they are also in danger of losing their own will. Usually, only those who have formed blood pacts with the dragon tribe can use the power of the dragon stones, but there are exceptions if the seal on the orb has been broken." - Designers' notes from a Genealogy of the Holy War playing guide, as translated by Serenes Forest
