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.

Tygarno's personal belief is that how much somebody knows is far less important than being able to apply what they do know.  He sets challenges for his trainees, as Qualis does, but his tests don't rely on having read just the right scroll or being able to memorize and make use of large amounts of information.  Tygarno only tests his trainees on basic material, but makes use of this material in such a way that only those who truly understand the material can complete his challenges.  Few trainees choose to apprentice with Tygarno, but those who do never regret it.  His love of what he does is contagious, and those who study with him gain an understanding of magic that they couldn't have gotten with anyone else.
