The dragon can detect the presence of iron and other ferrous metals as a precise sense at the listed range.
Arcane Whirlwind (arcane, aura, force)15 feet.
A vortex of fist-sized balls of pure magic swirls around the dragon. Air within the emanation is difficult terrain for Flying creatures other than the dragon. A creature that enters the aura or begins its turn within the aura takes 4d6 force damage (DC 23 reflex save).

Trigger The dragon is critically hit with a melee weapon or unarmed attack

Force Pulse (arcane, force)1 to 3
The dragon emits pulses of energy that radiates outward in a 10-foot emanation, dealing (1d6+1) force damage (DC 26 reflex save).
For each action spent, a new pulse of energy is created and each subsequent pulse after the first is 5 feet larger than the previous one.
Scattershot

To the uninitiated, spellcasting is an art for those with iron wills, people who reach out and grab hold of the fundamental laws of the universe and bend them to their whim. It takes discipline, study, and above all else, it takes control. Fail to control the very building blocks of reality and everything could fall apart.
Those who have even dabbled in the arcane arts know that this is nonsense. Magic is chaos, and channeling arcane forces is less akin to exerting one's will over the world and more like surfing on a bolt of lightning through a world-shaking storm and hoping to steer it without falling off. Spellcasting is barely contained panic, a lance of adrenaline, the constant danger of burning oneself out of existence. And the more powerful someone becomes, the more real this danger is.

This rarity indicates that an ability, item, or spell is available to all players who meet the prerequisites for it. A creature of this rarity is generally known and can be summoned with the appropriate summon spell.
ArcaneThis magic comes from the arcane tradition, which is built on logic and rationality. Anything with this trait is magical. A creature with this trait is primarily constituted of or has a strong connection to arcane magic.
DragonDragons are reptilian creatures, often winged or with the power of flight. Most can exhale magical energy and are immune to sleep and paralysis.
