Kili's wariness was something that Crucible could well understand given the circumstances.

"Curious...that is not something the dragons of Krynn are capable of without resorting to their own magic, and even then it is not something all possess," he himself did have one spell that did something similar though hardly full mind control.

"Many of us, especially those with many years and centuries behind us are potent spell casters and workers of magic. I myself am capable of weaving a vast array of spells among my other abilities, one such spell you witnessed in that corridor on the moon base,"

Crucible raises an eyeridge ever so slightly before going on, "As it sounds, a weapon that is expelled from ones mouth, fire breathing is just one such breath weapon. Others include but are not limited to acid, lightning or a blast of cold, each related to a particular clan or clans of dragon,"

"As a bronze dragon I possess lightning as my breath weapon. However I also have a second, a searing beam capable of melting rock,"
