Well, there's also the Essence 8 thing, and the max Edge of 8. Plus, some of those powers have a MUCH greater impact than the powers a normal drake has. A normal Drake has Mystic Armor 4 and Hardened Armor 4 in their dracoform only. A True Drake can switch those for Hardened Armor 6 and Astral Armor 6 in either form. Oh, and Dragonspeech is a handy thing.
