'''Pneuma''' is the sphere of breath, reflecting the power of the dragon's soul. Draconic belief has it that breath is the source of magic, of beauty and of inner creativity. Draconic breeds with stronger ''Pneuma'' tend to be more magically adept, more passionate, more creative and more emotionally intelligent.

Note that a Sphere Rating of 5 is average for Dragons.
+
Your '''Sphere''' ratings are determined by your Draconic breed, and are normally fixed.
−
 
 
−
Humans, in contrast, tend to have an average Soma rating of 1, Pneuma of 3 and a Sophia of 3. As a result:
 
−
 
 
−
* Almost all dragons are much more powerful physically than even the strongest of humans. 
 
−
* A magically or socially inept dragon might be outmanoeuvred by a talented human, but normally dragons will have greater arcane strength and social mastery.
 
−
* A particularly slow witted dragon could therefore be as mentally weak as the smartest of humans, but even this dragon would be considered bright by human standards.

−
    * Pure Dragons:  Soma 4, Sophia 6, Pneuma 5,
+
''Aspects'' start with an equivalent rating to their parent sphere. For example, if you have Pneuma 5 then your Pyr, Polymechania and Pathos are by default 5.

=Variations=
 
  
−
Now, select one of your Sphere ratings and add +1 to it.
+
You can add +1 to an Aspect by deducting -1 from another Aspect. However at character generation no Aspect may be more than one point higher or lower than its default value.
  
−
Then, select one of your Sphere ratings and deduct -1 from it.
+
==Soma Aspects==
  
−
Note that these selections can, if you want, be on the same Sphere. Doing this will make your dragon average for his breed.

+
Tachos - Movement. Helps with tasks of agility, aerobatics and speed.
−

−
Your initial and maximum '''Mental Energy''' is equal to your '''Sophia''' sphere.

−
