Ok, here are my ideas... run with it as you may....

  
>  Crystal:  Hale Breath weapon causing 1d4 pt damage per turn.  Side effect 
-- all metal starts to freeze... also causing 1d4 to umprotected skin 
touching metal.

rescued or hit.

affected with exhuastion... dragons wings increase effect.  (Range  50')

>  Flourescent:  acid rain breath (cloud, mist, or cone)  causing those 
affected to halucentate and causing 1d4 damage per turn in breath.

>  Mirror:  sheet of ice -- 1d8 of damage per 10' drop.  stunning LR for 1d4 
turns, during which LR sees the sin (pride, greed, ect..) that they are 
hiding in their heart.

>  Prism:  nitrogen cone -- traps/freezes LR for 1d4 turns.

>  Sea dragon:  Salt Water breath -- causes metal to rust away in 2d8 turns.  
(Also, 1d4 damage per turn if open wounds are touched by breath)  untill 
treated/washed

each turn until washed.

I hope this is of some use... (even if it gets chopped to pieces).
