true, Maxos was a human mage not a Dragon Knight, nothing was mentioned about the Dragon Knight's not having the power to pass on there powers upon there death. I think the fact that for most Dragon Knight's there death came at the hands of slayers that are immune to the Dragon Knight's attempts to pass there powers on might be the reason it was unheard of. With noone but slayers around to watch them die it would be hard to pass there powers to a new person.
