-**Chosen** are [[thuban:avishraan|Avishraan dragons]] that have significant magical capabilities, as opposed to barely notable ones in the base species itself. Naturally occurring Chosen are physically crippled from the distorting effect of their magic, displaying dark patches on their body that look like charred and withered scales, occasionally suffering from atrophied muscle strands (thankfully rarely to disability of the affected segment, much less to disability of whole limbs which is essentially inconceivable), and exist in two (quasi-)religious groupings: The [[amberworld:start#davir_sria|Davir Sria]] and the [[amberworld:start#davir_kaea|Davir Kaea]].

 The physical differences between Chosen and Avishraans do not end there, though.

-The distinction is only interesting for medical compatibility - and whenever you want to screw around with Chosen physiology in general, [[amberworld:start#hzataalar_kaea|in ways it wasn't designed]] [[thuban:hzataalar-sria|to be screwed around with]]. The flavours interact differently with the body they course through, and the mana in a Cerulean will react differently to outside influences than the mana in an Indigo. It's possible the mana flavour also comes with a bias toward the sort of magic a Chosen is likely to be skilled in, though while there is a weak correlation, any sort of causation is thus far unproven and may be more the manifestation of the Kaean/Srian divide of interests mapped to their different mana flavour distribution, e.g. a Srian penchant for ''Mind'', ''culturally'' passed on within families, could easily explain an observed Sapphire-Mind correlation without that the flavour itself would have played a part in the skill's manifestation.
