I think this spell would work well as a Pretender ability, as in say a rainbow mage Dragon Master-kindof like the druid and vine ogres or the mother of monsters special ability. If you got 3 instead of 1 per casting, it would solve the problem, providing you had the right Pretender. If it could then be multiplied by casting the spell, so much the better for later in the game. Maybe even a Dragon Queen Pretender?

Also, why aren't there more powerful dragons than drakes that this spell is affecting? I mean dragons are supposed to be awesome and terrible, and the best you get are a couple of extra drakes? It just doesn't evoke the name "Dragon Mastery"
