For Priest Enchantments, see Psionic Enchantments (PSC).

In the Dark Sun setting, the Dragon Kings rule stark monolithic cities that dot a barren, landscape. Their magical arts, unique to them­selves and their good-aligned counterparts, the avangions, have embraced and incorporated psionics in a way unduplicated elsewhere. A pre­requisite for advancement to either of these states is achievement of 20th-level psionicist wizard status. Defiler/psionicists can become dragons at 21st level, preserver/psionicists can become avan­gions at 21st level. This is the only way defiler and preserver wizards can advance past 20th level.

Psionic enchantments are magic, with psion­ics acting as a catalyst in the process. In the Dark Sun setting, they are considered 10th-level spells. This appendix is included for DMs who wish to introduce Dragon King and Avangion encounters into other settings. Some of the material has been updated since its original appearance.

Unlike other spells, the psionic enchantments of Athas require special preparations before the actual casting. Also, in the following spell de­scriptions, “cp “ stands for ceramic pieces, the equivalent of a gold piece on metal-poor Athas.

*This can be only defiler metamorphosis or presenter metamorphosis.

Dragon Orb: This perfect sphere of polished ob­sidian acts as a focus for psionic enchantments, enabling the dragon to cast the 10th-level spells of Athas. A newly created orb is attuned to an indi­vidual dragon (a process requiring three days). A new orb must be created each time the dragon ad­vances a Level: the old orb is a material component for the metamorphosis the dragon undergoes as it: advances in level. A dragon orb is 1d20 inches in diameter and has a value of at least 1,000 gp. The orb is not required for other spells or for the use of the dragon's normal psionic powers.
