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.

Dragons are highly-intelligent reptilian creatures that—from a human perspective, at least—appear to live forever. Many different varieties of dragon exist, each with their own unique qualities, habitats, and behavior. Adolescence in dragons 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. In Galsreim, dragons and humans coexist peacefully.

Even Apevket couldn't conjure up success every time. Adapting human plays for dragon performers was a good idea, but insisting that they be performed in the original human language was less so. Translation spells ruined the effect, so Apevket hired Sliaban to provide captioning. Sliaban first tried speaking all the dialogue, mimicking voices as best he could, but only drowned out the actors (though he was later cast in a series of one-dragon plays). His next idea, captions under the stage, were a good idea in theory, but either lagged or moved so fast as to lose the audience. When Sliaban enchanted the captions to follow Apevket around citing the overwhelmingly bad reviews the plays had received, though, they proved very effective indeed.
