* IneffectualLoner: Opaline goes about getting the Dragonstone via her own limited magic and brute force alone, but it is readily apparent that she would have had a far easier time of it had she some real friends to aid her. She can't even lift herself off the ground due to how low her power is, which ends up costing her the stone when it falls into a crevice.
