A calefact dragon's [[SRD:Natural Weapons|natural weapons]] and any weapons it wields are treated as [[SRD:Lawful Neutral|lawful]]-aligned as well as magic (wyrmling – adult) or epic (mature adult – great wyrm) for the purpose of overcoming [[SRD:Damage Reduction|damage reduction]].
'''[[SRD:Breath Weapon|Breath Weapon]] ([[SRD:Special Abilities Overview#Supernatural|Su]]):''' A calefact dragon has two types of breath weapons. The first is a cone primary consists of molten slag. The damage stems from a violent admixture of [[SRD:Acid Effect|acid]] and [[SRD:Fire Effect|fire]] that isn't reduced by [[SRD:Resistance to Energy|resistance]], but immunity to acid and/or fire halves the damage dealt. On top of dealing damage, a calefact dragon's molten slag burns away any mundane protection against heat a creature has (except for magical effects or [[SRD:Extraordinary Ability|extraordinary]] abilities that convey such protection; see ''Heat Dangers'', [[Sandstorm]] pg12), and furthermore [[SRD:Nauseated|nauseates]] creatures with intense pain for 1 [[SRD:Round|round]] unless they succeed on a [[SRD:Fortitude|Fortitude]] save.
The calefact dragon's secondary breath weapon is its ability to spit lava, which covers up to 2 10-foot squares of ground per age category the dragon has in a roughly knee-high layer of molten rock. Any square occupied by lava is considered [[SRD:Movement, Position, and Distance#Difficult Terrain|difficult terrain]] and any creature standing in it takes 2d10 points of damage for every age category the dragon has (or 1d10 damage per age category if the creature has immunity to [[SRD:Fire Effect|fire]]).
'''{{Anchor|Burrow}}:''' A calefact dragon can partake with the essence of dirt, solid rock and even lava and magma, allowing it to [[SRD:Movement, Position, and Distance#Burrow|burrow]] through such substances with a speed equal to its land speed. The calefact dragon normally leaves no tunnel when it burrows, but may choose to leave a tunnel through sufficiently solid material if it so desires.
'''{{Anchor|Heat Aura}}:''' A calefact dragon radiates an aura of intense heat, making it difficult for any enemy to approach it. For as long as any creature remains within the calefact dragon's natural [[SRD:Space/Reach (Creature Statistic)#reach|reach]], it suffers 2d6 points of damage per age category the dragon has every [[SRD:Round|round]]. This damage does not stem directly from [[SRD:Fire Effect|fire]] but rather from intense , primordial heatthat affects everything with its blister, and as such [[SRD:Resistance to Energy|resistance]] to [[SRD:Fire Effect|fire]] does not protect against a calefact dragon's heat aura. Immunity to fire halves any heat damage dealt.
Any creature with heat protection (see ''Protection against Heat'', [[Sandstorm]] pg14) is dealt damage as if the calefact dragon's age category is one lower for every point of heat protection they have (minimum wyrmling; 2d6 damage). Spells like ''[[SRD:Endure Elements|endure elements]]'' confer protection against heat or cold.

Any spell with the [[SRD:Cold Effect|Cold]] descriptor cast within a calefact dragon's heat aura immediately fizzles upon casting unless the spellcaster that cast the spell succeeds on a [[SRD:Caster Level|caster level]] check against the calefact dragon's [[SRD:Spell Resistance|spell resistance]], even if such a spell normally wouldn't allow [[SRD:Spell Resistance|spell resistance]]. This effect also applies to cold-based [[SRD:Supernatural Ability|supernatural abilities]], which are treated as cold-based spells with a [[SRD:Caster Level|caster level]] equal to the user's effective character level/[[SRD:Hit Dice|HD]]. If the cold spell also targets or is cast in a way as to affect the calefact dragon personally, the caster must check against the dragon's [[SRD:Spell Resistance|spell resistance]] a second time (if the spell allows [[SRD:Spell Resistance|spell resistance]]) before the spell takes any effect on the dragon.
'''{{Anchor|Immunities}}:''' Calefact dragons are immune to [[SRD:Acid Effect|acid]], [[SRD:Fire Effect|fire]] and heat effects.
'''[[SRD:Spell-Like Ability|Spell-Like Abilities]]:''' See [[#Table: Calefact Dragon Abilities By Age|Table: Calefact Dragon Abilities by Age]].
'''{{Anchor|Spells}}:''' Calefact dragons cast spells as a [[SRD:Wizard|wizard]] of their effective [[SRD:Caster Level|caster level]].<noinclude>
