Galvanic Wyverns possess a strength that seems impossibly vast for their size. They achieve this through their unique ability to extract magic in its purest form directly from mana. They then channel this energy throughout their bodies via the metallic conduits along their spines, wings, and tail tips, giving them their magically-augmented physical prowess, as well as the magical dexterity to lay devastating spells. However, once they have depleted a mana crystal, they are left vulnerable until they are able to harvest another.

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.

Boehm is a dragon motivated by power. Magical power is nice, as is physical power, but he won't say no to geothermal power, which he doesn't know anything about, but it does have the word "power" in it. He's very well-read in magical texts and takes many opportunities to show off his strength, like a stag in perpetual mating season. To the surprise of some, Boehm thinks little about seeking powerful partners with whom to produce powerful children. Since amassing knowledge and making a name for himself requires staying alive, he does not intend to die and have his belongings and position subsequently pass to someone else.
