This darkness is magic and not even infra-red vision can see through it. Although this darkness is magical, it can not be dispeled by dispel magic or any other means. This breath of darkness can be cast once per day. There is no saving through for this breath. The duration of the breath is until dispelled by breather or max. of 24 hours.

The wyrm also has a second breath, the breath of life drain. this breath will do 20d6 (re-rolling ALL 1's and 2's for a min. of 60) This damage is sucked from the victim(s) and the wyrm gains the additional life.
