When a dragon speaks, the universe listens. The dragon is immune to Silence and abilities that would prevent them from speaking if the source's level is lower than the dragon's or its rank is lower than half the dragon's level rounded up.
Frightful Presence (aura, emotion, fear, mental)90 feet. DC 33 will
A creature that first enters the area must attempt a Will save.
Regardless of the result of the saving throw, the creature is temporarily immune to this monster's Frightful Presence for 1 minute.
Critical Success The creature is unaffected by the presence.
Success The creature is Frightened 1.
Failure The creature is Frightened 2.

Word of Wisdom
(auditory, fortune, linguistic, occult)Trigger An ally within 60 feet fails a saving throw
Effect The ally improves its result by one degree of success, turning a failure into a success or a critical failure into a normal failure. The dragon can't use this ability again for 1d4 rounds.
Draconic Frenzy
The dragon makes two claw Strikes and one horns Strike in any order.
Draconic MomentumThe dragon recharges Powerful Utterance whenever they score a critical hit with a Strike.
Powerful UtteranceThe dragon expresses their power in one of two ways. The dragon can't use Powerful Utterance again for 1d4 rounds.
- Ardent Proclamation (occult, fire) The dragon breathes a blast of flame in a 40-foot cone that deals 16d6 fire damage (DC 36 reflex save).
Chastising Word (mental, occult) The dragon chides the targets strictly enough to leave the mind reeling. Each creature within a 40-foot cone must succeed at a DC 36 will save or become Stupefied 2 for 1 minute (or Stupefied 3 on a critical failure).
(auditory, linguistic, mental, occult)Frequency once per round
Effect The dragon is a skilled mentor, and commands its students like a general. An ally within 60 feet of the dragon can Stride once and Strike once, in any order. If it hits, the Strike deals an additional 3d6 fire damage.
Effect: Word of Advice
Word of Caution (auditory, linguistic, mental, occult)Frequency once per round

There's a feeling every teacher knows. It's when one has taken a young mind and educated, trained, and molded them to one's specifications before setting them loose and watching the pupil act on one's teachings. It's a feeling of creation, control, and wonder, the knowledge that one has created this great and glorious thing—and if one has done the job exceptionally well, then the student will outshine the master. This is immortality and power, and this is what vizier dragons chase.
Vizier dragons are primarily concerned with the education and cultivation of people. People fascinate vizier dragons in all their riotous, contradictory complexity. Why do some people excel, and others falter and fail? Why does one person become a saint and the next a tyrant? Why do some become legends in their own time, while others labor in ignominy?
