It was already stated, that hatchling dragons morph in to adult dragons at a give age (around 600 years). Dragons can learn an O.C.C. as it is written for many N.P.C. dragons in the book (they lent to magic O.C.C. like warlock, wizard, etc.). A hatchling (player) character is more exploring the worl...

Re: The Spell Heal Wounds
The advantage IMHO of Heal Self is, that it help Mega Demage Creatures (3D6 S.D.C.
and ID6 Hit Points (or ID4 M.D. if a mega-damage creature)), while Heal Wounds only restores S.D.C. and hit points.

Re: Dragon with a pyramid
IMHO, the dragon hatchling mature naturally - reaching maturity at an age of 400 - 600 years. Then their aging would slow and would at least double or triple their live span from 10000 - 30000 years .
