Spell Burn (Su): Once per round as a full round action, the twilight dragon  can target an enemy spellcaster within 40 ft with a burst of energy. The target  spellcaster must make a DC 21 Will save or lose one spell of the highest level  prepared and avalible. In addition they take damage equal to the spell level  plus the targets caster level.

Vampiric Healing (Su): Any spell that would normally deal damage to a  twilight dragon that fails to penetrate it's spell resistance actually heals the  dragon for the amount equal to the damage it would normally inflict. They cannot  gain any extra hit points this way, and any healing beyond their normal maximum  hit points is lost.


Another of the experiments of the mad black dragon Tanncragoro, twilight  dragons were intended to find a way around a dragon's normal vulnurability to  magic. Although slightly more supsceptible to damage then other dragons,  twilight dragons actually thrive when targeted by magic rather than being  subsceptible to it. Like chromatic dragons, they revere Tanncragoro as their  creator, but they are less likely to serve him, and more likely to have their  own agendas.

There are very few adult twilight dragons, and none past that age catagory at  this time. Tanncragoro's experiment is so recent that the adult twilight dragons  that do exist are the result of magical aging. Because of their rarity, most who  encounter them believe them to be some slight variation of black dragon, until  it starts breathing a blast of cold fire and it is too late.
