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.

Sloman is far more interested in his favourite pastime—a simple yet complex game involving tri-coloured stones—than in his magical studies. For a long while it seemed as if Sloman might become one of the few students ever to fail Delirium's Academy, that is until his tutor Hermione found a way to incorporate a magical component to "Tristones". The new variant became very popular among students and Sloman has to study hard and work on his magic every day to keep up with the other players and the constant changes in strategy the game now offers.
