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.

Most people assume that Mag Talia was supposed to be a shallow water dragon, and they look at her with pity and scorn.  Mag is actually thrilled that she was born a magi instead, because she is terrified of the water!  This presents some difficult situations for her, given that her mother and sister both live in a beautiful, warm-watered lake.  Despite this, Mag and her older sister, the shallow water Talim, are extremely close, sharing long days gossiping about the cute dragon boys who live nearby.
