Lotto explained that certain equipment could develop magical properties based on the materials used in their construction. Over time, these properties could become more powerful or change, but it typically took hundreds of years for this to happen. For example, an effect like dragon-slaying could potentially be awakened in a weapon, but the blade would likely need to inflict damage on a living dragon first.
Dragon blood was known for its unique magical properties, and such contact might hasten the awakening of the desired effect, though it wasn't guaranteed to happen one hundred percent of the time. The group now understood that their weapons could grow stronger through their encounters with the dragons, and this knowledge gave them a new sense of purpose in their mission.
