Dragons always cast Arcane spells?


Rules Questions


Some dragons can cast spells that are clearly on the Cleric's spell list. Despite that, do they always count as arcane spells when cast by a dragon? For example, see silver dragons cast stuff like Resurrection and Cure spells.


The bestiary entry for dragons says they cast arcane spells, so they cast arcane spells. Spell-like abilities depend on what list they appear on primarily, but in the case of those spells, they are arcane even though a PC could only cast them as divine spells.

Edit: In the entry for silver dragons it has this footnote: "* A silver dragon can cast cleric spells as arcane spells." So, yes.

This is like how blackend curse gives divine burning hands, and fire domain give divine fireball. It is just in reverse.
