Doing so is no small feat and requires the accumulation of not only enormous wealth but great wisdom as well, so the libraries of aspiring dragons contain thousands of tomes of all kinds-there is no bit of knowledge they can afford not to attain. They are also very well-traveled, visiting and interacting with all the cultures they can find to complete this ascension. \n'b' For the first few hundred years after transformation an energy dragon is sublime towards others but as time drags on they become bored. Many of these powerful creatures like to \xe2\x80\x9cadopt\xe2\x80\x9d interesting creatures as \xe2\x80\x9cpets\xe2\x80\x9d often without them ever realizing it, thinking instead that their lives are charmed in some way. \n'b' Eventually however these dragons lose interest in this habit as well, their grip on reality gradually slipping away until ultimately they are no longer able to empathize with mortals. Once detached from the life they once knew an energy dragon becomes a terrible foe, a bane to everything and everyone that garners its attention. \n'b' Caution around an energy dragon is well-advised as they are fearsome enemies, able to mete out incredible suffering as they use the world around them to elude and evade combatants. An energy dragon saves its power until an enemy is weakened and vulnerable, unleashing most of its spiritual reservoir in an impressive display of force that often encourages retreat or surrender. There is almost no other way for a battle against an energy dragon to end-most are past the point of fearing death and fight to the very last.'
