Dragons in Archemi grow by leveling. They grow rapidly, nearly doubling in size with every level between Levels 1-10. At Level 10, their first soft cap, they begin to grow more slowly until they reach their full size at Level 30.
Queen dragons are usually the largest dragons in Archemi, with the only comparably sized dragons being Platinum and Gold males.
By Level 4, Karalti's head rests at about 7.5ft off the ground (about the same size as a hookwing) and she is large enough to serve as a terrestrial mount. She and Hector begin glide training.
By Level 5, she can glide decent distances with a rider, but can no longer fit through most doorways. Karalti's first powered flight with Hector will occur at Level 6.
By Level 8, a rider's weight is negligible and the dragon ceases to acquire maneuverability penalties from a rider. From this level onwards, dragon and rider can really start to capitalize on the bonuses gained from their synchronicity: the abilities found in the Dragon Knight, Dragoon or Dark Dragoon Advanced Paths.
