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.

Olne has never shared her mate's enthusiasm for illustrated storytelling, though she is never less than encouraging. Her interests tend more toward the study of living creatures, and her particular specialty is creating the illusion of life where none existed. Olne constructs incredibly detailed models and then uses spells to make them move and breathe, and some of her work has even fooled magi dragons with centuries of experience. Unlike her mate, Olne refuses to retire, and there's always some new creation lurking in the shadows of her cave to startle the unwary visitor.
