The Draconic General's mouth was sealed shut, he was unable to speak, and he was unable to use his Dragon Tongue! When Blake told him that he wasn't using his powers correctly, this is what he meant.
"You use the elements for your advantage, but how does that differentiate you from the rest of the magicians then?" Blake wondered.
As he spoke, the black and crimson frost continued growing across the body of the Draconic General, even without being able to speak, he could still destroy the ice.
Or he tried, even as he imbued his Mana and Draconic Energy into his claws, making them blaze with dragon flames, he could still not break the black and red ice.
And it kept sapping away at his lifeforce to a speed he could barely handle!
"GRRHHH!"
