Editing Periodic Table of Dragons (section)

==Technetium 43==
Technetium dragons are the lightest of the Radiant dragons by a wide margin, making it the best flier amongst the Radiants, with a skill level comparable or exceeding that of other Metallic dragons. This is also aided by the gas bladder they have within themselves that fills with a lighter-than-air gas that is hypothesized to be similar or identical to that which a Helium dragon produces.

Technetium dragons have a near identical coloration to that of Platinum dragons, albeit much, much smaller, as well as lacking the hexagonal wings, but instead having striking wings of that resemble stars, no doubt as a result of their origin. The dragons are also quite corrosion-resistant and enjoy time in bodies of water.

The origin of Technetium dragons is a strange one, being entirely artificial. The dragon species was first birthed by a deranged wizard who wished to create a beautiful Radiant dragon in an isolated lab within the now-defunct city of Stingard. The exact events of the tragedy are lost, but those amongst the highest-ranked wizards hope to prevent a similar event from unfolding by withholding the knowledge of it.

The story that is known tells that the deranged wizard became interested in the taboo field of creating life, especially dragons. So he researched incessantly and shut himself away from the world. He created a great deal of experimental dragons similar to the Technetium dragons which could be considered prototypes. These prototypes were highly unstable, similar to the Francium dragons but far less powerful. Eventually he succeeded and created the first Technetium dragon. Proud of his success, he proceeded to create 15 more Technetium dragons. Unfortunately for the wizard, he neglected to dispose of his prototypes and one broke free. This led to all 30 artificial dragons escaping. The prototypes being as unstable as they were, flooded Stingard with Radiant energy, destroying it and its inhabitants. Most of these prototypes met their ends in the city, violently exploding with bursts of Radiant energy.

The Technetium dragons fled the chaos and proliferated, and although they are still rare, they are not endangered in numbers. Their violent origin still draws stigma for their kind.

Despite this stigma the Technetium dragons are tolerated for their usefulness and the fact that they are highly difficult to kill. As they are Radiants they have a natural defense against foes and a powerful breath weapon of Radiant energy that while weaker than the other Radiants is still quite powerful. Because they emit less radiance than other dragons, they are not as harmful to the environment and the energy can be used in alchemy to force new compounds into existence. Not only does the energy act as a catalyst, their scales do as well.
