Editing Scorchlings

'''Scorchling''' and '''Frostling''', also known as '''half-Drake''', is a term referring to [[Drakes]] who are said to be born as half-Drake and half ash. In truth, they’re just Drakes with a curse.<ref name=":0">[https://wanderinginn.com/2018/06/05/4-43/ Chapter 4.43]</ref>

Scorchling and Frostling are a kind of [[Oldblood Drakes]], only the way their heritage manifests isn’t in wings or dragonbreath or something else entirely. Those with the condition called Scorchling Syndrome are born harmed by their own dragonbreath, and lack the resistance they're supposed to possessed. Most die with their mothers, but the few who survive live with their affliction. There is no known common cause or treatment for the condition, save for levelling enough that Skills counteract the symptoms. It's estimated that at level 50, all negative symptoms of being a Scorchling are negated.<ref name=":2">{{VERef|Halfseekers (Pt. 7) – Interlude}}</ref>  

Cases of Scorchling Syndrome are specialized and unique, but the most common medical condition is scale rot, which makes their scales flake off by burning or frostbite, and causes them pain. They are also shunned by other Drakes, who believe that they are cursed.<ref name=":0" /> They often cannot regulate their own body temperature and need medication for their medical conditions, such as a warming tonic for a Frostling.<ref name=":1">[https://wanderinginn.com/2019/12/03/6-61-l/ Chapter 6.61 L]</ref> Their dragonbreath may also be uncontrolled on top of harming them, such as emmerging from orfices other than just the mouth when used. They're also known to heal slower.<ref name=":2" />
