Cassare Dragons are known for their magic-deadening abilities. Though not a conscious ability, a large field surrounds the dragon through which magic is passively nullified. This field is strongest near the dragon itself, and falls off with distance. The absence of magic often makes other creatures avoid them, though some will have the opposite reaction and seek refuge instead. It has also caused them to be hunted, as though the field is severely weakened once dead, their bones and scales retain some of the effect. Possessing such an item is considered a necessity by those who expect to face hostile magic.

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.

Kreelix always saw magic as evil and wrong and himself its nemesis. Being a young hatchling, however, there was little he could do other than play pranks, so to most he was only a minor annoyance. But their ignorance of him and his anti-powers only heightened his loathing. Or at least until he met her.

Unlike her peers, the young Magi found Kreelix's antics entertaining and after while the two became close. Until he sabotaged her chances of being accepted into a college where she had dreamed of studying. Hurt and betrayed she rejected Kreelix's affections and devoted her life to destroying the Cassares.

In reality, Kreelix's own anti-power had simply grown to its full strength. He too, was hurt, but he blamed only himself. He now stays away from anyone possessing magic for fear of hurting them, a feat more easily said than done with the cult of Magis who collect Cassare hides chasing him. But though terrified, half of him wants to be caught, because she is always at the lead.
