.The Real Dragon Magic Names

I wrote an article for Dragon magazine, published in issue #208, all about Dragon Magic. It expounds on the topic of Dragon Magic presented in Book of Eldritch Might III: The Nexus. Unfortunately, the editors decided to take off the cool draconic names of the spells. So I'm including them here, along with a draconic dictionary based on these names and those found in Book of Eldritch Might III.

Arctaos Ro (Everlasting Charm)
Chaun Duil (Expel from Lair)
Denthanus Ro (Everlasting Terror)
Epanomis Fortorum (Familiarity of Place)
Epanomis Destafortorum (Greater Familiarity of Place)
