    $\begingroup$ You can still wish for a silver dragon scale mail just fine - all you need to ensure is that your luck isn't negative. $\endgroup$ Commented Feb 5, 2020 at 22:52
  • $\begingroup$ How is this helping dragons' internal organs be fireproof? (That's a requirement in the question.) $\endgroup$ Commented Feb 6, 2020 at 13:27

    $\begingroup$ Someone figured out a way to put holes in dragon scale. You have to Grind a hole through it. You need a slurry of vegetable oil and powdered dragon teeth and an oscillating bit. It takes quite a while but it can produce a controllable hole. $\endgroup$ Commented Feb 6, 2020 at 14:23
  • $\begingroup$ @AndyT Ceramic scales are bad head conductors and shield away the burning gas. The airgap under the scales psrotects the skin from the heat. $\endgroup$ Commented Feb 7, 2020 at 16:22
  • $\begingroup$ Trish, you misunderstood my comment. The OP states "Their bodies and internal organs are protected from their flames, guaranteeing that they are not harmed by their own abilities." To me, this means that the dragons must have fire/heat within their body, and their body must be resistant to that. i.e. their lungs must be fireproof, their stomach must be fireproof, their heart must be fireproof. Ceramic scales on the outside of their hide could protect them from the flames of other dragons; they will not protect their internal organs from their own internal heat/flame. $\endgroup$ Commented Feb 7, 2020 at 16:41
