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.

All of Zaun's acquaintances will readily agree that he's quite a skilled mage, but even his closest friends struggle to find more to say than that.  He's competent enough, and there's nothing wrong with his technique, but his magic lacks that spark of creativity and imagination that characterizes the work of the best-known magic-users, which is why his surname is Sterlingmage and not the more prestigious Goldenmage.  Getting Zaun to admit there might be room for improvement is a lost cause, though, as he seems unable to realize there's anything lacking.
