| Description = One of the many tricks that blue dragons have up their proverbial sleeves is the ability to imbue their own breath weapons with some semblance of life.  This is accomplished by summoning a air elemental and binding it into the breath weapon as a vessel.  Living breath weapons are orbs of electricity that flit around the battlefield, serving the whims of the blue dragon that created them.  Given their appearance, they are sometimes confused for a [[Will-O-Wisp]], though they are far nastier.

: Outside of combat, blue dragons can use living breath weapons as scouts, seeing through them with a variant of clairvoyance.  This requires concentration, and since living breath weapons are brilliant balls of crackling electricity, it's not exactly subtle.  However, a blue dragon can use this to look over great distances without ever leaving the relative comfort of its lair, and can even project their voice through the breath weapon when it desires.  It is not entirely clear if there is a range limit to this effect, though there are documented cases of a dragon challenging the heroes of a town over 20 miles distant from its location using a living breath weapon as its mouthpiece.
