[Mkguild] Clarification Re: Fireworks and their alternatives

[Hallan Mirayas]

1- Perhaps I should clarify what I'm asking.  The ingredients for gunpowder=
, here in the real world, are not greatly expensive.  Making fireworks is n=
ot that expensive a proposition.  How rare are the ingredients for dragon d=
ust?  How expensive is it to create?  Would it be economically feasible to =
use dragon dust to make fireworks, or would dragon dust be too expensive to=
 use on something so frivolous?

2- If dragon dust is too expensive, what are our other options, and how eco=
nomically feasible are they?

I like the idea of a dragon dogfight.  They make their own flame, so expens=
e of ingredients is not important.  They're doing what they do naturally an=
d having fun in a competition, so they're not likely to consider it demeani=
ng, like a mage putting on a lightshow might.  Have Pascal give them some g=
low-in-the-dark paint to decorate themselves with and set up a lower limit =
of the dogfight beyond which fire is not allowed, and give them targets tie=
d by a string to their tails or something for the others to attack...  This=
 could work, and it fits in well with the Harvest Festival theme.  Maybe it=
 doesn't even need to be just dragons, but any flyer who wanted in, and a '=
catch the target' goal instead of a 'flame the target' goal.  Thoughts?
