Bonuses and Penalties

Like all special mounts, this Drake gives a large bonus to the rider's hitpoints and defense at the cost of increasing the regeneration penalty of combat arts.

However, this aspect mount gives a special bonus which offsets the regeneration penalty to Delphic Arcania. Therefore, the Arcane Illusionist will desire this Wind Serpent. Combined with the Riding skill, the Delphic Arcania aspect will actually have lower regeneration times when the High Elf is mounted on this Drake.
