Dragons are creatures with nearly unlimited life spans. They can survive for long periods of time, and no one has found a dragon that has died of old age. Adolescence is usually marked by the growth of a hatchling’s wings, although not all breeds of dragons grow wings and some breeds have other traits that indicate the beginning of maturation. Once they hit adolescence, hatchlings change quickly, maturing to their full forms in only 2 years.

Dragons don’t communicate with each other verbally, but they will growl to scare off predators and frighten prey. Young dragons will emit an extremely high-pitched squeal when they are frightened. To communicate, they use telepathy with each other and to speak to other creatures.

Magi dragons are, as their name suggests, primarily magic users. They rarely use physical forms of attack. They eat anything they can kill, which is almost everything. They won’t kill unprovoked except when hunting, although they may kill humans if in danger. Their strong magic makes them one of the most feared breeds of dragons.

Wei Zhi, as a magi, has the ability to practice strong magic, however he rarely ever does.  He came into the Elemental Mist clan as a young hatchling, although he still often acts aloof. Little is known about his history before his arrival except that he is either an orphan or was abandoned by his parents.  When he first arrived he trained under Hjartahreinn, but he showed little interest in learning healing magic.  Despite this, Hjartahreinn continued to teach him until he matured where by he dropped his apprenticeship.

When Wei Zhi does use magic, it is shape shifting.  He will often venture into human towns under the guise of a human.  He generally goes unnoticed, but when in his human form, he still retains his unnaturally orange skin (though to humans it often appears as jaundice) and bright green eyes.

Wei Zhi will often be gone for months at a time and no one will know where or for how long, not even Caelum Numbus.
