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.

Zisa's magic focuses on finding balance between opposites, particularly male and female polarities. Mating for her is a sacred act, which releases a great deal of magical power—her mates must be strong in magic themselves so as not to be overwhelmed. She has a deep connection to the powers of the earth, growth, and life, and strengthens the life force (and the fertility) of all around her. She is a merry and flirtatious dragon, full of joy and laughter, and has been known to spend hours with Kitsune, her dear friend, planning mischief and practical jokes. However, she also has a deeper side as well, and has been known to spend hours meditating in the sun, coiled around a rock or twining through some farmer's field (never hurting the crops, however—indeed, they grow better for her presence).
