If for, whatever reason, a player wanted to play a Drake, but wanted to get custom gear specifically for the Drake form, how exactly would you go about doing so? I don't quite think telling people it was for movie set stuff would work.
I had the same thought when my mage became a Drake (it wasn't something I planned on). However, I would suggest an Armor spell. Either on you cast yourself or have cast for you.
I think foci are the only things you can use when transformed, so being Awakened helps a lot. Especially with the breath weapon, which bases it's damage on you Magic.
