This spell is employed regularly by many copper, bronze, and brass dragons whose skins often acquire an unsightly patina on their scales over time. Copper dragons in particular employ this spell to remove the verdigris that plagues their scales in wet climes. But this is a common cantrip that any spell caster could theoretically learn if their class allows 0 Level spells.
Burnish can be employed on any metal-including gold, silver, bronze, brass, copper, aluminum, magnesium, etc. to restore its natural luster and shine, no matter where it is found, even as a trace element of another substance. Thus, metallic dragons can employ it on themselves or on their hoards. Up to 10 pounds of metal (in other words, 100 coins).
The components vary.
